GRACE and NOAH outside and in the car TOGETHER!!! love.

Paint: I think online the creamy buttermilk looks better, but from the sample patches, I am leaning toward summer sandcastle. Can you all come over and tell me which is better?

Our wings are not tired.

MsBelle, please forgive me if this is an idea or technique you've used before (because I know you've persevered and probably tried everything at this point) but what about starting at 0 gameboy time (and any other activity that he loves)on Mondays, with 10 minute increments of "special" time (gameboy or whatever) earned by achieving each of your daily goals? Something like getting up and getting on time to school= 10 min on gameboy, bath= 10 min on gameboy, etc so that instead of things being denied or taken away when he misbehaves, he's earning and banking his playtime as he does behave? I know every kid is very different, so it may not work at all, or you've already tried it and it failed. I know as a kid I wanted so much to please that any kind of punishment gutted me, but I loved to feel like I was exceling at something, didn't matter what.

no, more brown. but I think it has pink undertones which is where I think it may not work on every wall. My goal is painting in Dec or early Jan.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I wouldn't trust the color online.

I'd love to comeover to help but (1) I can't afford a flight and it would take forever and who would sub my classes? (2) I'm shit at color selection.

I meant to dye my hair tonight. To no avail. Why am I so tired? What is WRONG with me? Granted I'm up at 4:00 each day.

What relation is it to my walls? It's a neutral I have become very fond of. It's warm, but not blah and not too dark. Creamy.

I quail at painting. I have ideas, but no clue.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am no role model for Mac (eta: or Kat). I'm putting off cutting my hair. I brought my laundry up and it's all slightly damp. Cannot be arsed to get the clippers out.

Did everyone everywhere insert "hey motherfucker get laid, get fucked" into "Mony, Mony"? One retro bar where we hung out that did performances to songs (Colin worked there and performed--it was cute) put something like "get laid get AIDS" in there instead.

I was wild and crazy and had tomatoes with dinner. Apparently they burn my lips instantly now. What's with that?

My mom went to a Tom Russell concert last night, and after hearing about it, I told her she had such a girlcrush on him. And then had to explain that term.

Yes.
