Except for the Russian nesting doll measuring cups, which were literally NOT to be resisted.
I have those on my Amazon wishlist.
Right now I'm resisting the site someone linked to recently, where I'd really like this and this.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Because books.
Oh, that first one is gorgeous.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's totally worth trawling ebay for dresses like the first one, megan. I got some great stuff there a few years ago. Much cheaper.

I really like the first one as well.
It prompts me to ask, is it wrong for me to want sleeves on a dress? It seems such a rare thing these days.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I like the second one better.

The status is NOT quo.
brenda, bless you for taking her into your home and having such generosity of spirit. I know you want doggie kisses and snuggles and it hurts to not get them right away. But all great things in life are earned, and one day you WILL be cuddlebugs together.Oh yes, Brenda, this. Bringing in an adult dog is very different, but the rewards will be huge. Darby is a lucky girl. Congrats on the progress she has made!

That's one reason I liked that one. Sleeveless is always a negative for me.

Sleeveless is always a negative for me.
I sympathize. I am in the middle of an internal debate with the Body Image Monsters about if I feel confident enough to wear a sleeveless blouse tomorrow.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
That is huge progress, brenda. You're doing so great. Consider that it was months where we literally left the front door open for Seabiscuit when we first got him. He wouldn't come near, then only put his nose in, then a paw and a quick turnaround, then would come in, but never without an exit available. He didn't play, was terrified of the car (we think he got thrown out), and never looked at us.
These days he spends his nights in our bed, making sure his body is touching both of us. He runs and plays like the horse he's named after, with or without us. He travels all over the country with us and gets excited as soon as he sees his travel bag picked up. And his favorite pastime is extensive cuddling, complete with long soulful gazes into our eyes.
It took a lot a lot of patience and love and care, which you are clearly giving as a wonderful gift to Darby. She is making such big progress; I'm so proud of her and of you. Keep at it.

Go team sleeveless! That I can no longer wear to work. I will seriously look out for longer denim skirts. The female manager in my group was no good for guidance when it came to "appropriate lengths". She said I was dressing better than her already--she's sleeveless a lot.
So if people stumble across a source of knee or longer length denim skirts, gimme a holler. I'll hit up Old Navy and The Gap and other obvious denim holes (uh, blank now).
But first I must collapse. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.
But I had to throw away the muffin. I did buy it Tuesday morning. It doesn't love me anymore. I'll get a new one to stare at tomorrow. Perhaps an extra fouffey drink will sneak in some calories.
