We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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.

Because books.

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.

Amy, my lactose intolerance seems to have gotten worse since I got pregnant, though I've slowly been reintroducing cheese, with some success. So yogurt doesn't really appeal right now (though normally I love it and have no problems with it), but I do have an apple! Good call.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm at work. There was a battery short ON MY KEY REMOTE.

No big. Put new battery in. I remain cautiously optimistic.

I did cry hysterically when the car wouldn't start this morning. I'm so ashamed.

Allyson, I totally would have done the same. When I saw your post today about the car not starting my jaw literally dropped. You have been through the wringer!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh, I remember those days. By the time Dylan was born I never wanted to look at a saltine or a banana ever again.

I remember melon being pretty easy to tolerate. Mainly when I was pregnant I wanted food I couldn't smell, so it had to be really really cold. Sushi was another good option (with cooked fish, natch), especially once I realized that pickled ginger is a preggo stomach's best friend.
