Congrats Lilty!

hey Lilty! Congratulations.

I hope you find your clothes easily enough.

Ginger has the 80s song "Radioactive" running through my head.

So, in today's episode of "Shit My Daughter Says That is Vaguely Insulting", she and I are going to write a book together and in it, she is going to "use her imagination" to make me a "beautiful woman".

Aims, I specifically remember wondering at how the skin on my mom's feet was yellow (callouses) and her snapping that it would happen to me, too. Kids don't have the same frame of reference or baggage about things that we do, which makes it easy for them to say hurtful things. I know things are tough right now - is it possible that your emotional vulnerability is making this feel worse than it normally would?

Or, in Bitch-speak: girl, you are a Hottie McTottie and I may just have to make out with you in public to prove it next weekend.

Uggh, ChiKat. Better off. And I hear you on dating. Things are going well right now with D, but if it all goes south, I think I'm going to have to take a break from OKC.

Yay Lilty! That's awesome.

Ginger - you glow, girl.

Speaking of D, he's bringing food over tonight and we're going to watch movies. Sweet boy. We were supposed to go watch burlesque, but I still feel like ass.

I need to go run errands, and I really don't wanna. But I haveta.

Pictures! It's a Buffista rule, or it never happend. Hey, just saying.

I love my sister. But her diet advice has included "just starve yourself!" and "chew it and then spit it out!" and it's not good.

Good lord.

Somehow I have to impress upon her that she has to stop talking at me about my weight.

I had to do this with my mom several years ago. Basically, I just told her that I was not going to discuss my weight with her anymore. I don't remember how I phrased it, but it must have been fairly forceful, because she got the message. But I was prepared to simply walk out on conversations with her if she brought up the topic again. Fortunately I didn't have to, but I wonder if that might be what it will take with your sister. Can you say something like, "I love you, but we just can't talk about my weight anymore. Pick any other topic, but if you start talking about my weight, I will walk out. I mean it." Easier advice to give than to take, I know.

Yay Lilty for a new job!

Aims, "beautiful woman" may not mean to her what it means to you. Kids get weird ideas about what words mean sometimes. It may mean "celebrity" in her head or something. Or maybe "my mom" is simply in a different category from all other female humans. Anyway, don't take it to heart.

This was my take on it too, especially since she says she's going to "use her imagination" -- maybe she wants to imagine you with blonde hair or in a princess gown or any of a thousand other things. You are truly gorgeous, and you're doing a wonderful job with her.

Hey, you know what makes a really good lunch? Trader Joe's salmon "burgers" (which is just a salmon fillet in a round shape) on top of rice, with tamari. Thank you, leftovers from the depths of the fridge!

I kind of love Jenna Marbles. NSFW. [link]

I'm down.

Aims, sorry if I hit a sore spot.

Maybe she is, Tep. But she probably gets diarrhea that could stop a train. Fierce, eh. Or maybe her brain shrunk too and she thinks everyone wants to know everything about her stomach cause she does. it's hard to know, because sometimes people are just clueless and unaware you don't share their obsessions, but there are the not-fun kind of bitches out there that undermine and call it "constructive criticism"
