askye, your poor family. That is way too much drama. Tons of recovery~ma to your sister-in-law.

Yeah and there's some other stuff going on so it's been a stressful time, but I'm glad my Mom is up there so she can help out.

I'm glad your SiL is going to be ok, askye. Much getting better~ma to her and to your nephew (was he injured when he got stuck?)

He wasn't injured, his legs were a little sore, but nothing serious.

Mom really worked to calm him down so I don't think he was scared too much by it.

askye, may you have hit the end of the drama .

I hope there's a nice, long period of calm for y'all, askye.

But gently. Oh, so gently, with lots of padding. And good stuff to come. Seriously I'm glad everything seems to be turning out okay, and I hope it gets better.

Frankie is adorable, and so is the two-year-old.

I love the Black Honey gloss--I use it to brighten, darken, or enrich all those pinky-beigey-platinum-y lipsticks I mistakenly bought (what was I thinking?). It doesn't have good staying power by itself, and tends to bleed a little past the lipline without a dryer color beneath or some lipliner to confine it. But it's very pretty.

I'm really surprised that I'm angry at this considering I say "Fuck Arizona," every other day and really do feel surrounded by inbred hicks. But something about other lefties saying that, especially ones who maybe stop for gas here and got a little 'tude at the truck stop in Cordes Junction, really upsets me a lot. More than a lot. But I didn't post "Screw you, back."

I'm there with you (though not actually in Arizona); of course it's just shorthand for "I hate what this state legislature did", but still it's not fair to judge an entire state by the jerks in office and the assholes who get their stupid sign-waving faces on television. Hell, I'm in Virginia, and sometimes I can't believe I moved back down South, but hey, dudes, there are Obama-lovin' arugula-eatin' liberals here too! (Caveat: I don't eat arugula. I'm not sure I'd recognize arugula. It's a fun word, though. aROOgyuluh)

It's not as exotic as they make it out...just leafy greens, but a different texture than romaine. Iceberg doesn't really have nutriment in it. See...I know that. I never have fit in around here. Although I do tend to drown it in Thousand Island like Real Americans. And, yeah, I can say "Fuck Arizona," just like I can call my brother a freak. I know both of them very well. A stranger doing that? makes me want to beat their asses. And a boycott looked like a better idea when I was sheltered sixteen and didn't have to think about where money for things came from. I could just sort of go "Well, I guess they should have thought about *that*" But things are no longer that simple, and the economy is a cripple like me.
