To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Sleepless night w/ baby --> feel like I've failed as a parent (hormones + sleep dep = IRRATIONALITY) --> taking on onerous tasks this morning just to prove I can!

So after being married nearly 10 years, DH and I finally have a joint checking account to pay our household bills from and I've spent the last few hours setting as many bills as I can to auto-pay. Unless I've missed one (entirely possible, see above re: sleep deprivation) I'm pretty sure the only thing we have to pay manually now is our credit card, since the auto-payment will only cover the minimum due. (And at our current level of debt, paying only the minimum will have us paid off in roughly 10 thousand years, which I understand is not considered a fiscally responsible choice?)

Because books.

Aw, Jess, if I was just a bit closer I would come over and amuse Aeryn while you sleep. I remember those nights all too well.

Sorry about the sleep deprivation. I remember some of those nights spent in the rocking chair.

Eh, it is what it is. At least the second time around I know this phase will eventually end.

Naturally, now that it's daytime she's been napping peacefully for three hours. I should probably wake her up so she doesn't get her days and nights completely switched, but honestly, I'm too tired to care.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

At least the second time around I know this phase will eventually end.

That is the saving grace.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I just got my Penzey's spice delivery--yay! Opening this box was like Christmas, with all the little bottles all wrapped up in paper and wondering what was in the next wrapping. I did order several empty bottles for the spices I have in envelopes at home, so a lot of those little packages were blanks, but that's okay. They tossed in a free sample of their Bouquet Garni, a nice extra, as well as the freebie Minced Garlic I ordered, and the bag of bay leaves was much larger than I imagined it would be.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, you might have been confused by the fact that young!Jake Gyllenhall was the vic's son in an early Homicide, (it was a really good episode, despite what happened to Robin Williams' acting in later years)

That one I remember!

though I didn't know that NPH ever did a CI, so...

Oh yeah, really creepy.

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

I just got my Penzey's spice delivery--yay!

That's like me and Mario Badescu. Which is pretty sad. I'm not out of anything--I just want to order something because I love receiving their shit in the mail.

I don't think this necessarily qualifies for the Good Stuff tumblr, but it's certainly making me happy this morning.

(shrift, you'll especially like it.)
