And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Allyson: sucktastic! It's going to be okay.

New Yorkers I love: it's also going to be okay.

I have consultants in from out of town who got lost and didn't call, it's my boss's birthday, so she's decided not to care too much about their impossible schedule, and I seem to have caught the toddler day care stomach virus of death, so I'm babysitting the consultants in between trips to the bathroom.

But, you know what? It's going to be okay. Unless I pass this illness onto EVERYONE.

Does Tilda Swinton even know that she's "SWINTON!"?

I'm kind of waiting for Matilda to enter an exceptionally dramatic adolescent phase and insist that we call her Tilda.

So far the only variations on her name that have been allowed were person specific.

Lily calls her Tildy.

Teacher Heidy called her Matty Matilda.

Emmett just calls her Sweetie.

Because books.

"fun" purchases have to be limited to like a total of $15 this month.

I know the feeling all too well. No worries!

Lily calls her Tildy.

Adorable.

Emmett just calls her Sweetie.

Awwww.

Msbelle, I am putting myself in austerity mode for at least a month or two too.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I almost never wear makeup and don't feel bad about it.

Before the wedding, I went to a local makeup store with a friend and tried out a bunch of stuff, and when I looked in the mirror I thought, "I don't look like myself at all." I looked pretty, I guess, just not like me. I think it was mostly the foundation and powder that freaked me out. My skin just looked plastic. So we tried a few different things and I found something I liked OK, but I still barely used any of it on the day of the wedding, and my lipstick had all worn off by the time we sat down for dinner. And I love the way I look in those pictures.

ION, I am so sick of eating peanut butter & crackers & bananas for lunch, but cannot figure out anything else that sounds appealing right now, at least nothing that can be procured easily. Blah.

Luckily, I live in a higher (maybe highest?) part of the city. However, I still suspect I have an appointment with the shopvac tonight. Just a damned lot of water.

Eesh, sara. I don't think we have any water left in the basement here, but the whole house feels damp.

Kate, what about crackers and mild cheese? A yogurt and a apple?

ION, Sgt. Pepper's is on Ovation right now, AISFG. Steven Martin just showed up and Donald Pleasance is wearing a toupee.
