Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This morning, I have made popsicles, dill pickles, and pickled beets. For lunch, I'm going to make a hot sandwich of fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and pesto. I wish I had better bread in the house, but not enough to go get any. Next up, zucchini bread! Probably yellow squash bread, I guess. I can't believe it's cool enough to bake.

Has anyone ordered T-shirts from welovefine.com? I'm trying to figure out how large I need to go to fit my boobs.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sending tons of job~ma to Maria!

Jesse, you are making me hungry, and I've already had breakfast.

I'm not getting how those photos of strangers is supposed to be unsettling. They just look like people posing for a photograph.

Burrell, it's almost time for lunch! OK, not quite.

These NuvaRing commercials drive me bonkers. I'm not sure who their target demographic is, but clearly I'm not it. I guess it's repressed women who only can talk about their lady parts with euphemisms and vague hand waves down there? Perhaps I've been warped by fandom, but we're not afraid to have frank conversations about anything and the only things that get shushed and whispered about are spoilers.

This probably explains why we frequently traumatize all the tables around us when we're at restaurants.

At the baby shower the other day, my table-section of four spent pretty much the whole time talking about periods and birth control. If not there, then where?? But it was probably just as well that the acoustics in the room were terrible.

The one that drives me nuts is the one for the Pandora charm bracelet. There are two women sitting and talk about the bracelet that one of them is wearing. The non-bracelet woman asks about each bead, and the bracelet woman explains that the surfboard is from a trip to Hawaii, the soccer ball is because she's a soccer mom, and so on. Then non-bracelet woman points to another and says, "What about this one?" and bracelet woman says, "It's called the Red Hot Love Bead." And then there's an awkward silence, and she says, "I said too much, didn't I?"

We had that health screening thing implemented here a couple of years ago. So many people complained about the intrusiveness that it was canceled. We still have a $50/month surcharge for smokers.

I'm surprised that Hil's school implemented it the way they did. The two universities belong to a consortium that is supposed to share resources and knowledge, and I had heard that at least one other school in the consortium dropped the idea after hearing about our experience.

Because books.

Go us!

It sometimes amazes me what people what talk about. Especially women. And especially if you've had children, how you can cling to delicacy about anything vaguely reproductive is a real effort.

It also drives home to me again and again how something as natural as the human body is made taboo, but gory violence is A-okay.

Edited because it's good to actually finish sentences.
