Hey, the puppies have a new bed! wider with shorter walls. Does anyone else have trouble getting sound? It seems to go in and out on my computer. It was especially frustrating when puppy!mistress was picking them up and holding them up to the camera and introducing them and I couldn't hear her!
The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

“Not dead yet!”
It was called Lemon-Aid
Oh, I love Lemon-Aid-- I often combine it with YSL Touch Eclat and the two blend together nicely and do a pretty good job of making it look as if I've gotten decent sleep.
Especially important during conferences because I can't sleep for squat in hotels and by the end of the week I look like a mugging victim.

where poor women who'd given birth out of wedlock could leave their babies, and the nuns would take care of them.
There's a really excellent book about child abandonment called The Kindness of Strangers. >[link] In Rome, there was was an area in the Forum where children were left and were often secretly "adopted" because of incentives for citizens to have children or because of the lack of a male heir.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I think maybe in Florence, where a convent from the middle ages had this sort of door built into the side of it, where poor women who'd given birth out of wedlock could leave their babies, and the nuns would take care of them.
There was also that convent in M*A*S*H.

I have had salad with roast brussel sprouts and garlic-and-pepper chicken. Yum.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
How can I get Michelle Obama's eyebrows?
I sympathise, but I think you've missed your window now she has the Secret Service protecting her.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I keep going to the grocery store and not buying brussels sprouts! Why!??!

Noah and my mom videochatted. In the 7 minutes they were online together, she taught him to blow kisses and almost to say a noah-version of grandma. I'm curious what he will be like after 3 weeks with her at christmas (she and my dad are coming out here).

I get my eyebrows waxed. My skin is way too sensitive for plucking -- I end up with a face full of broken blood vessels.
