"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.

Our wings are not tired.

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.

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

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

Brownies and wine...what a terrible idea.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I swear, one day I'm going to treat myself to a gorgeous, well-made garter belt and some old-fashioned thigh-highs.

Let me know when you want links to retailers for those, because I'm pretty sure I know where to find them.

Garter belts and stockings are great! But most of my stockings are made out of really cute tights that were in no way going to fit my hips. Also, because I am that sort of neo-Victorian Goth, I wear bloomers over my garter belt and stockings. Usually ones that have "cranky" embroidered on them.

I told my new person that I was going home to keep working but with a glass of wine, and he said i was literally (by which he meant "literally") the third person to say that today.
