When you go to Papa Murphy's and tell your 13 year old son to pick what he wants (I usually go on my own and get the veggie thin crust or something like that), be prepared to come home with the 5 meat stuffed pizza. This thing is a MONSTER.

The boy has definitely hit stereotypical teenage boy eating levels.

Have finally booked our hotel for our anniversay weekend that starts, uhm, tomorrow. There has been so much drama and stress surrounding it this year. Ugh.

I guess it's our 13 th year curse.

Either there is a crazyass gun battle, a bunch of things exploding like fireworks, or a drum line with no rhythm somewhere in NE Baltimore. No sirens, just thumps like...well one of those things.

I just bought the nephew some toy planes online. His birthday is tomorrow. Aunting FAIL.

oh msbelle, I'm glad you are at home and sorry you had to deal.

daisy jane, anniversaries shouldn't be stressy... i'm sorry.

Remember the regatta dress from 2006? It was like the one true dress to rule them all? it fits again! I'm kinda thrilled. In 5 or so more lbs my old size 6 pants should fit.

as long as they weren't toy boats....

When I was ten, I read a lot, played soccer, played the sax, and sang in chorus. Hmm.

I hope all the drama is over now, DJ, and you can just enjoy the weekend.

Seriously, what is with the noise outside?!!

Thank you, one and all, for the good wishes and ~ma. I have survived, and I have a martini in front of me, Matilda cuddled at my side, mac and cheese on the way, Peter Pan on the DVD player, and a counseling appt scheduled for Monday.

All sorts of ~ma to Theresa. That so utterly bites.

May, you are being severely unimpressive. June, please, please be better. Please.

They shouldn't be, but this one has been. We do seem to have banded together now in sort of a "what else can you throw at us" kind of way.

Kat that dress is lovely on you!

Maria, so glad the project is getting such coverage!
