You know how there's this phenomenon where you get a metallic taste in your mouth for days-weeks after eating pine nuts from China? I got it. It's YUCKY. (Google "pine mouth" for details.
I live in fear of this because I can't stop buying TJ's super cheap Chinese pine nuts and putting them in everything! I know I should just suck it up and shell out for the Italians and use them less but it's so hard. A friend of mine had the pinenut mouth a couple of months ago and I'm trying to remember what she used to lessen the impact. I want to say some kind of vinegar. I can check.
I also have a deep fear that my expanded ass won't fit in the tiny JetBlue seat and they'll throw me off the plane.
I dunno, my ass is pretty big (as is the rest of me) and JetBlue's seats were verrrra comfy. I think you can scratch that anxiety off your list.
Sophia, what about larger sizes of the Gap or Old Navy, or are they too casual? My work is so casual, I'm losing sense of what's appropriate for work.
Sizing is so wackadoo and changes from item to item that I could never say that one store has shirts that fit me consistently. Old Navy sometimes does, the Gap sometimes does, Ann Taylor Loft sometimes does. But sometimes they don't.
Thanks Flea, Sue and Lisa! I hate being a size 16 (or 18)- nothing from anywhere fits right!
I think I could probably do the Gap- although the LL bean ones are nicer. I wear them with skirts, so I can be a little more casual than if I wore them with pants. I just want them not to be baggy, because I have large breasts and a small waist, and I don't like things that hang from the breast area, which the plus sizes do on me.
Obviously not fucking enough, or you'd be more eager for morning.
this is interesting out of context.
Street. Legal. LIGHTCYCLE.
Somebody please buy me this, thanks.
oh, I like it. I'm holding out for The Dark Knight batcycle. though. That one still holds my heart.
If it can't do a sharp 90° turn, it's not a real lightcycle.
Whew! I got away with what I shouldn't have gotten away with. Jury duty is not only deferred until MAY SECOND, but they will resend me all the documentation. The date is now entered in my personal calendar with a two day alarm, not a ten minute one, and it's in my work calendar too.
All I have to do is not throw away the paperwork when I get it. Should be simple enough, right?
I would like to have a sharp word with some people:
- anyone who's ever bought anything in response to a spam email. Because it must be remotely effective for them to keep spamming me
- TiVo for getting hacked. I'm assuming that's why I've had such a marked uptick in spam recently
- People who don't change lanes until 15ft before they have to exit. You're really irritating.
- Me, for my lack of a filing system.
