not your mom's socks.

Congratulations Luna family & healing~ma to CV!

I have several days off in a row. It feels like a trap. How bad is that?

Any recs for happy bra shopping? Nordtroms is the house favorite, but out of range. So I went to the nearby VS. Bad bad bad decision.

Our wings are not tired.

Happy Birthday to Tom! Ok, DCistas, it is your obligation to pass along lots of hugs to the birthday boy.

Nordstrom Rack often has a lot of good stuff.

Happy Birthday, Tom Scola!

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in and I just spent an hour cleaning the kitchen. I feel all virtuous and stuff. Also, I'm waiting on a friend from work to bring me a barrister-style media shelf from an actual high quality manufacturer, which I'm buying for less than a third of the original price for. I'm planning to use it to store craft supplies in, but if it ends up holding actual media, I won't cry. Oooh, is that a vehicle in the driveway I hear....

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Yay, Windsparrow! Go you with the early weekend energy. I hope you enjoy the media shelf.

I have the dishwasher going, a load of clothes in the washer, and I'm waiting on a freecycle person to pick up my old tv. However, it's about 10:47 here.

I have laundry in but I need to start cleaning the bathroom so my sister can paint. Maybe breakfast first.

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

What brenda said (about the bras, not her sister and painting and laundry). And if you have the budget you can always go to Nordstrom for a proper fitting and just get one single bra but take notes on all the ones that fit you. Then you just keep an eye on Nordstrom Rack for when they pop up. I've gotten a couple of $70 bras for less than $10 each that way.

And in completely other news, parenting question: Is it possible that if a tiny child comes close to eating her weight in strawberries one evening, that might explain pink-tinged pee shortly thereafter ? She was perfectly cheerful and comfy and unworried, but I am just oh so mildly freaking out.

Now tagless for your comfort.

If the color doesn't go away or she exhibits any discomfort, call the ped. But that is entirely possible.

Is it possible that if a tiny child comes close to eating her weight in strawberries one evening...

I should think it's possible, after all, a large woman such as myself gets a similar effect from eating a single can of beets. Sure the beets are a lot more red, but eventually the effect of the strawberry redness will accumulate. But Cash is right, if it doesn't go away or develops further symptoms, it's time for actual expert medical opinion. Erm... further symptoms excluding the expected digestive effects of scarfing that much fresh fruit.
