This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I just measured, I will lose 55 sq ft from my bedroom, but when I saw the new measurements (13x11) laid out, it will be totally fine. There are 2 closets in there that you can't see in the pictures.

Trust my rage

we move into our new house in June and I'm sure I will be all house house house for a while.

Our wings are not tired.

I love all the house talk, especially the details about fixing stuff up.

java - sadly Texas never really felt like home even when I lived there growing up. My parents being there makes it feel somewhat homey, and this particular house feels like me, so there is that.

That makes sense; after all, you moved to New York and (I think) love it. I wonder when Mac's all grown up, you'll find yourself back in NYC. But of course that's years from now and in the meantime you have an adorable house to fix up and enjoy! Mac's uncle sure will miss him.

I have scheduled a hair appointment for tomorrow. Now I probably should decide what I want my stylist to do.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I kind of love this cut, but I somehow doubt that I could get my hair to look like that without a significant time investment in the morning.

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

Happy birthday, Jon!

Evaluation appointment is in early March, smonster. Hopefully there won't be much delay between that and getting the procedure done. The procedure itself is no fun, but now that the last one has worn off it's clear that it was definitely helping.

Picked up prescriptions on the way home. I asked about the amount of injectable Imitrex I received, since I thought he prescribed me nine doses, and they just gave me two. Oops on their part--although insurance won't cover nine, they had only dispensed half as much as they should have. Good thing I caught something. Though what I totally didn't catch until the cab home was the fact that I have no injection mechanism, just the doses. Checking on getting that now.

I love all the house-ownership talk. I don't know if it's anything I'll ever do, but it's great to vicariously experience.

All it takes is a bit of product!

It's a good cut, aside from the styling. Pretty versatile.

I think I figured out the twist in Shutter Island (the book) halfway in, and I'm really hoping I didn't. I also hope the movie is as good as it looks in the previews.

You probably did. I really enjoyed the book, I think mostly because it's been a long time since I read that type of story, but the ending really disppointed me.

What kind of product? I'm bored with my hair and willing to try something new.
