How can I get Michelle Obama's eyebrows?

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

I wish it had been in place for you, too, bonny. As well as for the kids who need it today.

This.

Compassionately intolerant

Oh man. I need to arrest my eyebrow obsession. A friend gave me a 10x mirror and I can't stop plucking. I'm actually wounding myself in the quest. A friend who is an aesthetician says that no one, who isn't a facialist should see your skin so close. I think she may be right.

Well, the skirts don't fit. However, I found a dress suit (above the knee sheath + long jacket) I thought I'd given away when it didn't fit. It's a deep muted purple micro-suede (I think that's what it is called.) And it fits again!

Of course, this means I really should have my newish suits altered because they will be huge.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

They say that amateurs should never use a magnified mirror for eyebrow plucking. Trust your friend.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

When I write a rec letter I figure the most important thing is that it doesn't sound vague and/or generic...

Thank you, Burrell.

Damn, bonny. I'm sorry you grew up in such a shitstorm.

What Jesse said.

I remember reading a bit about the father that dropped off 8 or 9 kids in Nebraska. His wife had died in the previous year, he lost (or quit?) his job to care for the younger kids and he was emotionally and financially overwhelmed.

There is white stuff falling from the sky. I do not approve.

I was talking with the cashier at the Safeway, and mentioned I'd heard something about snow this morning, but it may have just been a nightmare because I was half asleep. She looked steadily at me and said "I REALLY hope you had a nightmare." We both cracked up.

My first thought was: "Volcanic ash?"
