"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Congratulations, Suzi! I also raise my vodka tonic to you.

OMG, I'm so happy to have a working oven again. (Ray, our apartment fixit guy, fixed it.)

I took a cheap TJ's cheese pizza and topped it with onions, olives and feta and a drizzle of olive oil and it's So Good.

At Trader Joe's I noticed that they had both butternut squash and sweet potato in already cube cut-up pieces very affordably priced at $3.49 for a 2 lbs bag.

Also got the car fixed today. Cost $425 for a full tuneup plus about four things replaced because of ancient-osity. Which we can ill afford. Then again, it no longer stalls out in intersections when I step on the gas so I'm counting that as a win.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Anyone supporting that Uganda law is evil though, they may have religious motivations, but that doesn't make any difference.

Poor Uganda manages to be the victim of pretty rampant evil even without religious motivations. Those poor souls can hardly catch a break.

Sirloin tip roast, slow cooker or not?

I say no - it's too lean a cut.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Now I need a new moniker for the ex. He started out as DH, then STBX, but now there is no more STB. Maybe just EH? Kinda fits.

Sirloin tip roast, slow cooker or not?

I'd say No also. I'd broil it.

Maybe just EH? Kinda fits.

In deference to CJ I'll note that my divorce guidebook, "Mom's House, Dad's House," advocates against referring to your child's parent with the negative EX. Which is why I refer to Emmett's Mom as EM. Maybe, CJD? (CJ's Dad. That's your relationship to him now as you enter the exciting world of co-parenting.)

Good suggestion. While I would only use EH here, switching over mentally to CJD is probably a better idea.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I feel like I need snow boots. What do we think of these? [link] They seem kind of expensive, but not if it's actually going to snow a lot, right? I'm assuming I'm shopping for something I can wear to work with skirts without looking like a jackass.

It's not like you moved to Alaska, Jesse! I dunno, rubber boots to work? Would you change shoes at work? If not, maybe look for leather? They make some stylish but warm leather boots.

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

They seem pricey for wellies, but I suppose that's the shearling part of it.
