By the time I was 12 or 13, she would write things like "I love Duran Duran!" on the banana, which just cemented her rep as the cool mom.
That is awesome! And I'm glad mine isn't the only family that does that.
Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I am trying to find a store that carries Nubar polish so that I can walk in and buy it and not have to pay shipping. No way can I justify buying $75 worth of nail polish. Sigh. No one carries Nubar.
Any LAista want to go in with me on an order? I know Kat just ordered some, so not her presumably, but anyone else?

Did you know some IV meds taste on injection? Weirdness. I can taste benadryl and toradol, and the first push of saline.
Yes!! Hah, I'm not the only one. I could totally taste benadryl when they shot me up with it (morphine pump is lovely, but it makes me a little itchy.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Breathing, check.
Today's second nurse was one of the good ones. Most nurses try twice (if that often) to find a line and then bail. First nurse declared me one of the worst cases ever without poking me at all. Him? He's never left until I've gotten a line in me somewhere, and he's adamant athat it won't be a doctor-administered neck IV.
I'm always relieved when he comes in.

You should tell him. Being the good, diligent, patient-first nurse doesn't always get rewarded.

Can you call Nubar and ask about local salons who carry their product? A lot of salons also sell polish. And Nubar, IIRC, is based out of LA.

Nubar, heh. The name, to me, seems like the bastard love-child of "Numfar" and "FUBAR."

It's rain type 17 out there today. Blech. Fortunately the 2 year-old birthday party this afternoon is in our building.

So I am having issues with the New Car Tax Credit. I bought a car last year knowing it was coming and assuming it would apply to all cars purchased in 2009, but it was only for cars bought after February 17. And I bought mine on February 14. I post-dated my check for the 17th, however, since I didn't actually have the money in my account; I had intended to officially buy the car the week after.
Putting February 17 as the purchase date on my tax return would get me almost four hundred dollars. It's annoying to be screwed out of that over a few days. Surely, the IRS isn't going to sit around verifying all these purchase dates, right? It's not the biggest tax-fudge ever.

They are being MUCH pickier about vetting the paperwork for tax credits now (a lot of early fraud,) so I'd ask a professional about the exact criteria.
Nasty out. Drove out to the swim shop and got a new suit and swimcap. Was going to Target, but I couldn't stand being on the roads any longer. No farmer's market, it was just too wet to even think about it. Pool soon, then I'll come back and clean and do my nails.
