She won Top Chef out of Last Chance Kitchen! And she's gorgeous.
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

msbelle, I’m so sorry.
I’m very excited about Kish.
I brought ltc into the library bookstore I worked in and told her she could fill a shopping bag with whatever she wanted. Everything there is either $1 or 50 cents. She managed to fit $22 worth of books into her bag.

ltc is a Buffista after my own heart.
strength and peace to you and all your friends, msbelle.
I am ON VACATION.
The dog got very unhappy when I ran around the house packing for camp. She would be even more unhappy if she knew she was going to a kennel for 4 days! She has never been. I hope she doesn't get too upset about it all.

Our wings are not tired.
My last two trips I used Rover.com to find dog sitters/boarders. Both times it was in homes with just one other dog and freedom to get on furniture and be spoiled. The first was a stay-at-home mom with a disabled child and a nice big backyard and the second was a work-at-home dude who jogged multiple times a day with Skinner. I was really pleased with the results.
Well done, ltc!
And YAY VACATION!!

Oh no, fingers crossed! I hope this trip is amazing -- it seems like a lot of stress to get there!!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm so sorry, msbelle. It's so hard to navigate what is practical and doable and right while carrying around these huge emotions, on top of the difficulty of just having the (valid, by the way) huge emotions to deal with!
Good luck, meara!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Resurfacing after a miserable couple of days. I had a normal breakfast for the first time since Saturday, and though right now I feel bloated and like lunch is an impossibility, who knows how I'll be when we actually get there?
A pair of cousins (I think second?) are coming to visit around 11, and in the meantime I have a Tiffany Aching book to read, so I'll just sit and do that and hope the bloat fades away.
