I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I remember when Niki Taylor won the Seventeen magazine Cover Girl contest when she was 14. Don't they have those yearly? Or didn't they? I might even have that issue, still. Hmmm.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I remember that too! But I know I don't have it any more.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Who gave Teppy the stompy boots? She's scaring me.

Mommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

I'm being a vigilante stompy. At any point, I expect an Official Stompy(TM) to stride into the thread in their stompy boots of stompiness and stomp the crap out of me.

And I deserve it.

Now I have a dilemma: Do I continue sitting on my ass, and listen to "Speaking of Faith," which this week is about mindfulness and money especially around Christmas, or do I head out to do Christmas shopping??

What is even happening?

Can you listen to it later, Jesse? If so, I say head out shopping, get annoyed (which is part of the shopping experience), then come home and listen to it, and say, "YEAH!" a lot, while you have a cup of something good to drink.

Ha! That sounds like a good plan. Or, I'll get annoyed while not buying anything, and then I can feel righteous after.

OK, the show seems to be, in fact, mostly about the host (who I really like) angsting about her own stuff with her own kids. So that's fine.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I have a day off today! I woke up in pain, but with some advil and a heating pad I was able to nap thru Saturday morning cartoons with the cats curled up nearby. I plan to be extremely lazy all day.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

YAY Aurelia!

Ugh. My headache has reached the point that I'm not sure I should be driving, but I have to go get pepcid and new antibiotics for Perkins the cat, because the first kind they gave him has been making him throw up too much.
