Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Punishingly Intricate

man, Swifty had another full on seizure today after having no signs of seizuring for weeks. I'm waiting for my vet to call back to see if we should do anything (aside from give him valium which we did). Cats!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

"Those sanctimonious vegans can't tell ME what to eat! It's all part of Michelle Obama's plot to control our lives! Big Brother!"

I just saw this one! In a comment section on Alice Waters. So ranty pants. Wait, I have to go and quote it, because it was so genius in its stupidity.

If its personal choice then that is ok. If it ever gets political and Government forces you to eat a certain way then that is Tyranny! I believe in personnal freedom and our constitution. We need to keep government and laws out of our business! Vote all Statists out of office! We need conservatives!

Because books.

Aw, Swifty. I hope he's okay, lisah.

Yay, Lee!

Dude, I totally got my domestic goddess on today. I baked the rest of the hamantaschen this morning, cleaned the stove, made dinner (meatloaf!), and have the melted chocolate cooling for the brownie cookies I'm making after dinner. AND I went to Sara's concert, which was not as painful as I expected (also only third grade -- the K-3 thing must have been a typo, and I was pretty sure kindergarteners weren't playing the cello).

A glass of wine might be called for.

Excellent plan. Long day, long week. I have a quiet house and am watching General Hospital. Wine is what the scene needs.

Also, clink

Yea Lee.

What I could never figure out was maternity Spanx. I have never used brand-name spanx, but I have other foundation garments. I do hate control top tights. I find they always manage to squeeze my bladder and make it continually feel like I have to pee.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have wine! And brownies in the oven. Phew.

Maybe I should stop at TJs on the way home for brownie mix and wine.

Brownies and wine...what a terrible idea.
