You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Jessica, for what it's worth, both my kids gave up the afternoon nap right at age 2. It sucked for a few months because they kept falling asleep right before dinner and never slept through the night for the first two months but they were getting their 11-12 hours of sleep without the nap.

As much as I miss it, if they're not going to sleep, the battle may not be worth it. But you could probably let him earn some tv time by keeping 1/2 hour Quiet Rest Time as a standard policy.

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

I am running errands with tentative plans to visit Colin. Or go back home and lie down. Got to smog next.

Score! My space heater picked the perfect time to melt down, as Target is having a clearance sale. I picked up a much more compact model that heats just as well (no cooling function though) for $10.

Our 30% chance of light snow is now 100% with snow that is starting to accumulate. So my plan for today is to stay inside with my beautiful fireplace. And the Glee marathon.

Okay, smog passed. Off to see Colin.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Hey, did Perkins ask what we're doing this weekend?

I posted this in Bitches earlier, but I'm happy to x-post --

We're going to a Mardi Gras shindig tonight, and I found a black skirt to wear with my flamey corset. Also wearing devil horns, because they go with the flames.

The shindig sounds pretty cool -- sideshow freaks, belly dancers, cabaret -- but mostly it's just an excuse to wear my corset somewhere other than a kink party.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

That is an awesome skirt, Teppy. Hope you have a blast at the shindig.

I'm laughing my ass off right now -- Tim is on the phone with his best friend, who is also going to the shindig tonight, and they're talking about what they're going to wear and what Friend could borrow from Tim.

I am totally the guy in this relationship. (Except I make Tim kill bugs. Especially crunchy ones.)

I think I'm doing as little as possible this weekend. January ran me kind of ragged.

That skirt and corset should look great together, Steph!

I'm heading over to smonster's in a couple of hours to mock some bad tv. Tomorrow I'll be going to a friend's non-Super Bowl dinner. There may be some puppy bowl. Right now I'm doing house stuff while my laptop backs up. It's the first back up, so it's taking a while. Three hours in, and only 65% has been copied. Good thing I'm not on a deadline for this.
