Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I hate the term "baby bump" so very much.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What's wrong with "baby bump"? I hear a lot of hate for it.

I'm wearing my @@ earrings today. They don't go with my skirt, but they amuse me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm wearing my @@ earrings today.

Wait - does each earring have one @ or two?

Also, is "@@ = eye-roll" just a b.org thing?

Each earring is an @.

is "@@ = eye-roll" just a b.org thing?

Yeah. Jesse-started, if memory serves.

My hand is a bit smaller today, but not normal yet. Still bandaged. Typing hurts more.

Can I talk about shoes here, or is that better in Bitches? I really want these (Frye Veronica Slouch, in the saddle): [link] But I'm thinking these from LL Bean would be pretty comparable, and actually sort of affordable: [link] Yes?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yes. Also, now I want those. Which is ridiculous, because my wardrobe (especially my winter wardrobe) is so black, on purpose, so I only have black shoes.

Jesse-started, if memory serves.

I think that's true!

Is it often cold enough in GA for boots to be comfortable, flea? I don't wear them much in NC because of temp issues.


Cashmere - Sep 14, 2010 6:43:28 am PDT #23779 of 30001
Now tagless for your comfort.

Oh, flea, those are beautiful! I love tall boots but my humongous calves create difficulties with them.

I screwed up this morning. I thought my haircut appointment was for today. It's for tomorrow morning.

Tuesday can bite me.

I'd love those second boots in black. I can only type with one hand. This is driving me nuts.
