Okay, so speaking of getting emails that aren't meant for you...

I just got one with the subject like "Bridesmaid belt options." It's sent to 5 people, including me. The email text reads "Alright girls, I have attached several belt options. Choose one." And there are 9 photos of sparkly belts attached.

The question isn't *Do* I troll them; the question is: how HARD do I troll them?

I think you should counter that there ISN'T ENOUGH SPARKLE and provide photos of the most hideous sparkly belts that you can find.

You should suggest bandoliers instead.

Or suggest they go in a different direction. [link]

Bridesmaid sparkly belts?? WTF is this world coming to?

Though I realized the other day on a comment thread about "what is the most expensive piece of clothing/accessory you've ever bought" thread that the answer was a freakin' bridesmaid dress. It was something like $200? Which I guess is not that bad as bridesmaid dresses go, but still...

This bar I'm in has a skeeball lane. Very cool. Except that some people feel entitled to bring their kids to the bar to play skeeball. Their skreetchy, whiny kids. During happy hour on a Friday.

The bartender just bounced them. FINALLY.

It was only 96 on my drive home, but still feels pretty damn warm. Have eaten a cold supper and may just doze until the sun sets and it presumably cools off some...

I guess I'm glad I've never been a bridesmaid. Was witness-without-title for my sister, but I could wear what I wanted to for that.

I've never been a bridesmaid either. Haven't missed that experience, really.

Had to dispose of a dead rat (yay?) in my driveway tonight. Pretty sure it was the dying one from 2 days ago. Anyway, put it in the city trash cans since they pick up tomorrow after dropping it into double bags, with a shovel and garden implement, wearing industrial rubber gloves and carrying at arms length to the bin. Possible heebiejeebie dance.

Funny how for some reason this made me squeamish. I'm usually good with dead things and rats, but somehow dead rats?
