Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

Oh yikes, Sue. Makes you want to yell, "Pipe DOWN out there!"

I slept like shit last night and ended up leaving and going to the kid's room to sleep since the better air conditioner is there. But between the full moon and the constant vigilance of waiting for the trash truck, I didn't sleep any better there!

I miss my straight guy friends from college. I don't really have any in Seattle.

I find it very difficult to believe 25% of guys travel with a stuffed animal. Seriously??

Also, sort of speaking of shoes earlier....Isabel Toledo did a line for Payless (!!). I love the first pump and kinda love the foldover boot.: [link]

Me too. I don't see that. I don't know any guys that travel with stuffed animals.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Did they poll a furry convention???

Seriously. I almost feel like pulling an Arthur Dent and going out and lying in front of their heavy machinery in my bathrobe. Of course there are like 20 of them (they must be getting paid double time) so they could probably pick me up no problem.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I kind of like the Poodle Boot, in addition to the ones you mention, Kat. Not actually on me, I think, but to look at.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

There is now a t-shirt of the Wondermark comic that is my life: comic; t-shirt.

Seriously, the look on the woman's face in panel 3? Now that I live with The Boy, at least once a week (generally more often) I have that exact look on my face. For realz.

Oh. The wedding this weekend made me realize how much I missed having straight guy friends. All the male friends I have now are almost all the result of them being the male partner of a female friend and who I only really see in the context of that couple. There's only one or two that I have any kind of friendship with away from their wife. Seeing some old male friends this weekend made me realize how much I missed that kind of male companionship.

Fair question.

ION, for the last several years I have been bargain shopping. I go into the grocery store and instead of just buying what I want, I look for what's on sale. This actually turns out to be more fun.

Example: I went into Safeway the other day and cruised the meat aisle (not really intent on buying anything in particular) and they had a ridiculous deal on New York Strip steak (bone in) - a $10 steak for $4. It was so good. I am at the point in my life that I can now cook a steak at home that's better than what I can get at a restaurant.

My other recent super delicious treat is courtesy of megan walker. After she pimped the Haagan Dazs Five Lemon flavor I became addicted. But then I found Trader Joe Meyer Lemon Cookie Thins. So I've been making ice cream sandwiches. Just three tiny ones a night. Soooooo goooood.

Mmmm, lemony.
