I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Punishingly Intricate

I still feel like balancing out looking at her with some Salma Hayek (and baby!).

Her baby is hilarious! Adorable. She's like "Hey, chumps, my mom is freakin' Salma Hayek!"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The baby does look kinda "look at where *I* rest my head." Go Valentina!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that looks like an awesome baby. And I never really cared about Salma Hayek before, but am liking her more and more recently.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am talking to a Zappos live chat rep, who might possibly be the cheeriest person in the world.

There's something not right about Zappos. I consider them highly suspect, what with the free returns and the omnipresent shipping upgrades. Ominously cheery customer support doesn't surprise me in the least.

Is diabetes associated with limited bloodflow to the extremities, especially the feet? Is that why they don't want to put IVs in the feet of diabetics?

I can't believe the Slap Chop ad with the annoying Sham Wow guy just said "We're going to make America skinny again, one slap at a time."

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I have had a big old girlcrush on Salma for ages and ages, but Salma as a mom is pushing me straight into pure mindless squee and helpless hand-flaily delighted geebling.

Re Scarlett: the hair looks a wee bit dark, but overall she looks awesome and that dress is amazing. I don't even want to know what the Fug Girls are saying about it.

In other news, my daughter? Still cute.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I think Scarlett's looking stunning in that picture.

Zappos is one of the top places in the country to work, so they may have cause to be cheery.

My daughter is pushing my buttons big time today. If she's this defiant at 3, when she's 13, I'm totallly fucked.

I know! I was halfway waiting for her to accuse me of abusing their goodwill.

But no, she placed an order for me, upgraded my shipping, and told me to go ahead with the return process for the shoes that don't fit.

Maybe she's getting it all out of her system now?

I know, I know, not very likely. But it's all I've got.

Because books.

Is diabetes associated with limited bloodflow to the extremities, especially the feet? Is that why they don't want to put IVs in the feet of diabetics?

I feel like I should know this, and I'm not sure if that's actually it. Untreated diabetes can lead to toes, etc., needing to be amputated, I know that. A quick look tells me it's diabetic neuropathy, which is nerve damage. That can happen with the eyes, too.
