A crafty alternative for those who don’t necessarily want to eat their baby’s placenta, but want to pay their respects to the life sustaining organ by turning it into a one-of-a-kind teddy bear.

So if you made a "plush" cthulu with it, would some kind of dimensional portal open?

It looked shockingly innocent for such a pain in my ass.

I think I can see what the first problem was.

Oh great, bt. I'd managed to successfully block any memory of assbabies...until now.

This seems kinda' cool:

Clank, Clank, Nom, Nom: Steampunk Wedding Cake [Geeky Cake]

...until you realize that everything is edible. Then you wonder how they did that....

This isn't as exciting as winning the Nobel Prize, but...

For the first time in my adult life (18 years and up), I am 100% totally completely absolutely DEBT FREE!!!!! I paid off the last bit of my credit card this morning.

Wild.

And The Boy is out of town, so I have only the pets to celebrate with, and they're not as enthused as I'd like them to be. Even when I explained that no debt = more money in my wallet, which means I can buy them more snacky treats, they just weren't as excited as I am. I just don't understand their values.

Oh, if you scroll down on this page you can see the bride and groom.

I am 100% totally completely absolutely DEBT FREE!!!!!

WOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Wow, Steph! That's so awesome! Congrats.

Go Tep!

If I wasn't so unbelievably stoned, I'd be doing a happy dance for you. I'm virtually happy dancing for you. Wildly.

kids, I have like a negative amount of motivation to work.

This morning I went and got fingerprinted (4th time in the whole adoption dilly-ma-bob) for the re-adoption of mac. this is a requirement, but also a technicality - it gets him a name change (middle names only) and a US birth certificate. That was way the hell out in outer Queens. It went really fast though and I got back top Manhattan in time to get a hair trim (only 1 inch off, I decided against a chop).

With the late arrival, I grabbed food and am forgoing lunch, but damned if I can motivate to work. I've answered one email and that's it.

Maybe I should just do some early holiday shopping online. I've already started, maybe I can finish before Thanksgiving.

AWESOME STEPH!!

Now I need to start funneling money into a Roth so as to hit $5,000 before April 15, 2010. Also build up the emergency fund more.

And buy a GIANT ROBOT WITH FLAMETHROWER HANDS TO DO MY BIDDING.

Or maybe just some shoes.
