Holy shit, this is my life.

So the little man was so impressed with the results of his impromptu fountain performance last night, he decided he'd try the same thing this morning. Only with poo. (Cleaning up was rendered all the more difficult as his mother pretty much collapsed into fits of laughter.)

so who;s fault is it that I am drinking dark aand stormys...megan.

HA! It will also be her fault when I buy the ingredients to make them at home next week. I'm very glad I have a local BevMo that carries Fever Tree ginger beer.

Kristin -- the video was a good as you said , I am all teary.

It made me cry, too, in a good way. I'm so proud of her. I'm also proud of her resilience in dealing with the few negative comments she's gotten.

Cash, that's so cool!

Perkins, you've inspired me! Would anyone like to adopt a never-worn medium-sized black Trixie dress? It's looking for good home. (It's never been worn because I discovered it's cut too long-waisted for my frame, alas.)

I can neither confirm nor deny that I am the one who should be blamed.

It's all javachik's fault.

We have lured Megan into Bitches! Muwahahahaha.

Quick, someone engage her in witty banter.

Perkins, insent.

I went swimming this morning. Twenty lengths. For me, that's a fantastic achievement.

For the rest of the day, I have to make up for this by sitting around the house, eating sugar and sleeping.

My friend who got dumped is coming over to join me in takeout-eating and much alcohol-drinking at the weekend. I feel that this is a healthy approach to life's stress.

I get two sets of in-laws when I marry TCG. Aren't I lucky?

Heh. So does The Girl, when she ties the knot with me. I'd be sorry, but her one family is worth many sets of in-laws.

Hil ~ Ow. I hope the ankle improves. That sounds painful.

I am sorry for finding this funny, but it really, really is. My sister's kid was eighteen months old before we realised she was going to be an adorable, cheeky little terror. Sounds like Ryan is way ahead of her.

Cashmere, your friend's daughter is a fashion designer of the future. Those dresses are fab!

omnis, it's great to hear that your dad is doing better.

I am sorry for finding this funny, but it really, really is.

Don't be, we thought it was pretty hilarious too. So did Ryan, judging by the grin on his face.

Emeline is very much her father's daughter, I discovered this morning. She has made up an origin story for herself.

According to what she told Joe waiting for the bus this morning, I am not her real mother. She was grown in Batman's belly, and when he came out into the sun, she sprung forth from his stomach, did a spin, and had a cape and a mask. Her name is Shana Mana Superhero Princess Emeline.

Emeline for short, if you please.

She has made up an origin story for herself.

It is empowering and doesn't involve a woman in a refrigerator. I like it.
