It is for us to want and for you to do?

Hope you feel better soon, Kat.

Is this you-know-whose sister?? Cool beans!

Yes! And, funny story, we went and bought the cheapest pregnancy test in Safeway today. She peed on it and then we watched it. Nothing happened so we tossed it in the trash and figured it was negative. I headed home. 2 hours later she had to pee again and no one else had used the bathroom so she picked it up just because - totally positive! After that she called me, we freaked out on the phone some and them she went and got a digital one. For as pregnant as she is (probably 7-8 weeks), I've never seen one so slow. I guess that's what you get when you get the cheap one.

And here I was just happy I'm wearing my Frye boots (with the 1" heel) with jeans tucked into them for the first time...

Oh, I would love Frye boots! (I got these boots for $19.00, and free shipping both ways, if it didn't fit or I didn't like. But it fit great in the calf: I've had a real problem with that in most boots when I was near or at my heaviest. I think a 16' calf, maybe a little bigger.Fit true to size.)

Yay, Stephanie and your friend! That's exciting.

Maybe that helps explain why this is the order:

I was totally right about the top and bottom of the list. Because people who like rai really like her, and I bet most people don't know who cook is by name.

ION, I'm getting sick of having anxiety attacks over random and/or perfectly normal things. Also, today for about three hours I felt *great*. WTF was that about.

These should really be more popular.

A little reminder that it exists?

aishwarya rai

She was in the news this summer because she was being criticized for taking a long time to lose weight after having a baby. So maybe that's part of the reason you were getting so many hits.

Baby wipes. Baby wipes, and a tiny bit of baking soda. That should remove it, because I've used that combo to remove Sharpie writing from my skin before.

I tried baby wipes. Didn't work. I tried Baby Wipes and Dawn. Didn't work. I tried Goo Gone (which is my standby) didn't work. I tried makeup remover. Didn't work.

What the hell is this marker made of?

I'll just exfoliate the hell out of the spot and wait. But damn.

So yesterday, while in the OR, the huntington volunteers were giving out info about spouses to married people but wouldn't give K any info about what was going with me. In spite of the fact that she is listed as my "life partner" in hospital lingo, that I designated her the person to receive info and that, on admission, I told the admissions person that she had medical power of attorney when we discussed my advanced directive.

When she talked to the charge nurse of the OR, it was fine and she got info but K was mentioning it on facebook.

One of her friends replied with:

I'm so sorry about that. While I don't agree with gay marriage, I DON'T think that you should not be able to get information about the one you love. I hate that you can't find out what's up with Kathryn. My prayers are with your family.

I wanted to say, hey, judgy bitch, getting information in medical situations is one of many reasons that the desire for gay marriage exists. Perhaps her friend shouldn't be allowed to get married either.

Essentially she is saying I like gay people just fine as long as they are friends of mine, but other gay people are icky and don't deserve rights.

At least it's a toe inside the door of her position. A couple more 'education opportunities' like that and she might be forced into really thinking about what and why.
