Sounds like a bit anal, Sophia -- he'll end up with a thick wadge of white out strips. Has no one told him about tick marks?

My roommate borrowed an iPad from work for a week, and has had it for four days so far. I've only seen her use it twice, briefly. This proves to me that she's something of an alien, or at least not a Right-Thinking Person.

even though it was a treat, I still had to go to bed when the Von Trapp childrejn did

Me too! I'm still surprised to see the rest of the movie, when I watch the whole thing!

I am aggravating myself, because I am just sitting here, not yet doing the work I need to be doing, but also not at the beach or anything. Stupid need to procrastinate.

OK. Now.

My morning has been somewhat stalled out by the realization that I don't have any milk for my coffee, and without coffee, it's hard to figure out what to do about it.

Do I throw on clothes and just run down to the local store to buy just milk, or do I do the TJs run I need to do today without coffee, or do I go out to breakfast and coffee and then go to TJs on the way back?

My TJs usually has free samples of coffee available.

oooh Good point!

Scola for the win!

GENIUS!

Kat - that cake is amazing!!

Chiming in on the amazing-ness of the cake! Wow. I would be unable to eat it; it's too pretty.

Seems it's time for the three-day unrelenting monthly headache again. I've got a list of stuff I want to get done this long weekend, and so far all I've done is sleep and watch tv and cry a little. It just will not go away no matter what I take. It feels like my head is in a vise.

In a couple weeks I'm having a "procedure" done. I had an ultrasound done a couple weeks ago, and the verdict was that the uterine lining was twice as thick as it ught to be, and there were polyps. So they're going to do a D&C. As stupid as this sounds, if they'd told me they were taking the uterus out, I'd have been overjoyed, but this? The mere idea of this makes me want to vomit. They tell me it won't be painful, but I don't believe it; I had discomfort just from the ultrasound wand.

I have about three days out of a month when I'm energetic and I feel good, and the rest of the time, I'm tired and hurting and weepy. If it makes all this mess go away, it will be more than worth it. But I don't believe that either. I'm having it done because they say I need to, but I don't have any hope that it'll actually fix whatever's wrong with me. I believed the antidepressants and the birth control pills and the thyroid medicine and the B vitamins were going to fix it, and they didn't. I think the ADs and BCs made it all worse. I can't be hoping for normal and have it not happen, again. I don't even care about being fat, so much, anymore; I just want to feel good.

do I go out to breakfast and coffee and then go to

I vote this. But I love going out for breakfast. This AM for breakfast I had sausage, eggs, pork stew and a chocolate cupcake. Now, do I go to church or not? I have to take twins and they are on a tear. If I could take just one it would be fine, but together, they are Too Much.

This is brought to you by remembering what a treat it was to see Sound of Music once a year, and how, even though it was a treat, I still had to go to bed when the Von Trapp childrejn did

ME ALSO! I love this about our parents. And yes, so for years I thought it was a lovely lighthearted movie with dancing and singing and marionette goats. It was so shocking and upsetting to discover all the political stuff that happens later on.

I skipped church in order to can tomato sauce.
