A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

You'd think with that kind of money he'd be able to afford LASIK.

It doesn't fix presbyopia, the disorder you need reading glasses for. So for those of you considering, it may not seem worth it once you realize you will need to use reading glasses later in life. Still worth it, for me!

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

LOLMom Story:

My Mom: Hi Glen, I'm really glad I took that course in non-violent communication from you.

Glen: glad you liked it.

MM: Yeah, I used to be bad at arguing, but with your techniques I get the other side flustered and frustrated and angry.

Glen: Umm, that really was not the point of non-violent communication training.

My Mom: Oh no, it's great. I win. They lose. That's the way I want the argument to go.

Glen: !!!

Is it pathetic that doing the dishes is my Big Accomplishment for the day?

not your mom's socks.

I was upstairs icing/steaming my face when this happened -

DH: please leave that candy on the counter alone (there is all types of wrong with this sentence already).

Iris: but I just want to see it....

DH: NO.

Iris: Ok. (walks away. Gets stepladder. returns.)

DH: What did I say?

Iris: I just want to see it. Puh-leeze?

DH: Ok. Just look. Then we need to go.

Iris: (after 22.4 seconds) Can I hold it?

DH: That's it, you're done. (Iris back on floor, stepladder away.)

Iris: (mumbling to herself as she walks away.) Well, that didn't work.

My Big Accomplishment is laundry. But it was five loads of laundry, so I feel that it should at least count as a Medium Accomplishment.

HA. Go Iris!

Hil, totally! I meant to strip the beds and wash the sheets and I still might. But they will have to be hung tomorrow to dry.

I wish I lived somewhere desert-y so that I could hang stuff to dry. But in DC there's nowhere to hang stuff (when I have one or two things that I need to hang dry, they go over my shower rod), and in NJ, anything hung outside would get covered with pollen.
