I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I was at World Market over the weekend and they had water flavored with herbs - I got some ginger and lemon, which I bet would be good for anyone with a touchy digestion.

I highly recommend TJ's Uncrystallized Candied Ginger, which helped me be able to eat other things when I had vertigo nausea.

As anyone who has seen my handy chemo guide, I'm a great believer in ginger for nausea. I simmered sliced ginger in water for about 10 minutes, added honey and sipped on it all day.

If you were planning an event with David Eagleman, most recently the author of Incognito, how many people do you think it would draw? I ask because the 225-person room at the book festival wasn't big enough.

DUDE! It's Kristen. That's family. There is no humiliation. Unconditional LOVE!

Exactly. It would be like me melting down in front of Cass or Plei.

Plus, melting down at that is no crime. I would have completely lost it, too.

I really need to stop watching television. Or, at the very least, I need to start watching things that are happy.

I just plowed through an entire series in like 3 days (it was 8 episode seasons, 20 minute episodes, so not quite so horrifying as that may sound) and now here I am again with the tears and the heartbreak.

To contribute to already happening conversations, I don't wear too much makeup, but I have this amazing tinted moisturizer plus sunblock that is an absolute essential. Anything above that depends on my mood and where I'm going.

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

Ouch, just went to the new target.com and my retinas are permanently scarred. SO MUCH RED.

Wow, I really don't like that web design.

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

My boss just sent me home and told me not to come into work tomorrow. Win.

Now I just have to wait fifteen minutes for the bus and make it home without incident. I can totally do that.
