You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Because books.

Happy birthday, Connie!

David, fingers still crossed for everything to work out. And for the annoying majority partner to get a nasty rash in an inconvenient place.

Don't judge me. Or go ahead and judge, but don't feel obligated to share your judgment with me. Believe me, I know.

I haven't taken a bath since we've lived in this apartment because it's in the kids' bathroom, and there's no way they're keeping it clean enough for me.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Happy birthday, Connie!

My doctor's office, bless them forever, now has a service where you can get an online evaluation for 8 or 10 common (but also simple to treat) conditions/illnesses.

That's brilliant!

msbelle, solidarity, sister, my finances have gotten out of control again, too. Happens when I'm stressed. I really need to get to a point that when I (inevitably) go into a anxious spending spree, I don't end up hurting myself before I'm through.

I always forget the power of posting about something to make it happen.

I need $100,000. Really. I need it. #rocket

Speaking of which, may the cash come through quickly and in delightful amounts after which may you not need to deal with your a*hole partner so much anymore, David.

I spent way too much time "debating" with an anti-abortion person on Twitter today. We were doing okay, until he said something that made me lose any respect for him. He said that he would happily adopt a baby, but he's offered his services on Twitter before and mysteriously there were no takers, so, no adopting. I called bullshit. Then he told me he already had 6 kids "of his own", after telling me neither men nor women should ever have sex unless they're ready to have kids. I told him, hey, you could've adopted 6 innocent babies if you'd just never had sex!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Happy Birthday, Connie!

I always forget the power of posting about something to make it happen.

Tried to get an appointment with a podiatrist this morning (think I've maybe developed plantar's fasciitis - whatever it is, it's making Irish dancing increasingly painful. And I had a performance yesterday, so I'm hurting today). Earliest available was 4 weeks out, in a really inconvenient location. How is it possible that a health network serving as large a city as San Diego only has a tiny handful of podiatrists (the nearest of whom won't see new patients)? Fingers crossed for a cancellation, or for the message I sent to my GP to be answered with, "Hey, I can totally hook you up! I know a (foot) guy!"

*Waits patiently for the power of posting*

Nice one, Zen!

It was his own argument! But I got him to admit that it wasn't about the innocent babies so much as about women irresponsibly having Teh Sexx when they didn't want to be pregnant.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am amazed that Twitter adoption offers were not immediately jumped on by parents looking to give their baby a better life with someone else. What better reference could anyone have than a verified twitter account? It's a much more through vetting than refugees receive, I assume.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

> Can you imagine a property listing for that? "3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, spacious kitchen, walk-in closets, sick skateboard ramp in formerly useful back yard."

Ha! A house we are very interested in possibly buying comes with a full karaoke/disco set-up in the basement. If I said this was part of the appeal, I would not be lying. [link]

Have not found any aromatherapy bath options near me, btw, but I did come across a yoga studio in my neighborhood that I didn't know about. I hope it is really and truly there and not some phantom of the yoga studio that used to be in my neighborhood (but had a different name and address, so I am optimistic). I think that would improve my life immensely, having yoga within strolling distance to my house, unless they are horribly expensive or unwelcoming in some way.

It has a gorgeous kitchen too, Scrappy!
