Maria, it starts with the same letter as her name, it appears in the movie Greases uttered my Rizzo in Sandra Dee, and I honestly have no idea how to spell it. It's sort of a family tradition. I learned it from my mother and grandmother.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

I grew up in a town that was mostly Italian ... I picked up quite a range of rude gestures (silent, though).

Dear Body, developing a new and exciting quirk of having my cheeks become red and BURNING if my face gets sweaty, necessitating ice packs, hydrocortisone cream ,and possibly Benadryl is not okay.
(I'm waiting for my PCP's office to call me back so I can make an appointment, because the dermatologist is booked a month out.)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I went to pick up Mr. S at camp/daycare, and was told he was a devil child today (tearing up the room, hitting people) and not to bring him in tomorrow unless he had someone to shadow him all day. The teacher said she called Gary, and I should speak to him about it. Tomorrow is the last day of camp. I have a feeling I'm going to have to take a day off work to deal with Mr. S. Just what I needed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh damn, Sheryl. Good luck with that.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, man, Sheryl. I'm sorry.

Now I want to know which word it was. Brava F! (Though I do understand how it's less than happy-making for mama.)
Is anyone else remembering seeing toddler Em dropping something at the SF F2F and hearing a tiny little voice pipe up "shit!" Absolute silence for a second and then we all roared with laughter. We tried to stop because we didn't want to encourage her, but it was so cute!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Sick with worry over Carr fire. All our CA people are safe, I hope?

Someone just asked me, in all seriousness, if I read German, and said "oh dear" when I said I don't! Hahaha academics.
