Shir, I'm sorry, that dress is terrible. Sure, if you changed most of the things about it, it would be OK....

It CAN be beautiful. On me. With few minor changes. But really, I'd just love to see more dresses with that shape around. IJS.

I would call it sleet. But yeah, dude, April!

My standard is, if it bounces more than four inches, it's hail. Otherwise it's sleet.

Hmmm... it's not bouncing high enough to be hail right now....

Did you guys know that it's unpossible to be in a bad mood around a puppy? It's like having my very own puppycam. The best thing about 4-month old Cayenne is that she's still learning how to use her limbs.

I love this:

I’m From Clarksville, TN.

We were just children on the playground. I was a tall and chunky girl, and you were even taller and so much more graceful. What grade were we in? I swear it was the third grade; it couldn’t have been anything more.

I was on the swings as you pushed me, and as the bell was called and I dug my feet into the ground to walk inside with the rest of the class. I heard you walk up behind me, and you said my name. I turned. You asked me to come to your house for the weekend, to spend the night.

That Saturday, I went to your house. I remember all so clearly. I sat on the floor, and you brushed my hair. “Can I tell you a secret?” you asked, and I looked up, and nodded. It didn’t take you long to kneel beside me on the ground and bend over, cupping your hand around my ear: “I think I like girls like I should like boys.”

The antics of Loki are a source of joy for me too, javachick. The other cats too, but the childishness is funny in its own way.

I've got various reasons to be anxious (ask msbelle and lisah) especially with more torrential rain tomorrow. I'm at a point where I just want to hide for a bit.

I should pack some more tonight (my inner completist wants to) but the rest of me? Um.

Also? The Chile & Cayenne serires reminds me very much of Mister Kitty and Loki. Fun!

I totally thought the same thing when I was taking the photos. Also, a lot of the advice on this board helped when I was contemplating a puppy adoption. I didn't set out last Sunday thinking I'd be adopting a puppy that day, but when I saw Cayenne sitting in the pen on the sidewalk in Berkeley (Milo Foundation Adoptions sets up shop there on Sundays), I instantly fell in love. Steven the boyfriend got extra points that day because the one hour shopping excursion he had agreed to that day turned into a flat tire, 2 hours of shopping and 2 hours of puppy adopting. It was a looooong afternoon.

But well worth it.

Cayenne is ADORABLE.

I was sure that the labia dress was photoshopped because I saw it both ways on the original site. But now I see the vag dress at lightinthebox.com and it disturbs me.

Jack Black on Yo Gabba Gabba was a total win at our house. The kids are watching it on repeat.
