Of course the bikini tops I like the best add one to two cups and therefore don't come in my size. But that's a good selection, -t. Thanks.

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Jess!

Aurelia, I got an e-mail from a high school friend who I hadn't heard from pretty much since high school.In it she said she had 9 kids and a couple of grandkids. (Mind you, this was someone who got pregnant senior year of high school, so it's not completely far-fetched...) All I could do was blink for a bit.

There were several in my class who had kids before graduation, including one girl who had two. I don't remember if she is one of them though.

Aaron Sorkin explains his understanding of the plight of the little man.

Happy Birthday, Jess!

Is he back on the 'shrooms?

We had another parent decide to hand out birthday party invitations to only a select few kids today at Olivia's 4K. I am so pissed off, I emailed the director. I couldn't care less that she wasn't invited but I am pissed that when asked about it, the teacher said that they, "told the invited kids not to talk about it in front of any of the other kids."

Um, yeah, a four year old can totally do that. That's why at pick up the invited kids were waving their envelopes around telling their parents that they got invited. Liv waved her report card envelope at me saying, "I got invited, too!" Then I had to tell her she wasn't.

Fucking BULLSHIT. Why are some parents such assholes???

Oh, that's terrible Cash. Poor Liv.

Wait until they read my next parenting column.

Ok I need some help wording something.

Someone wrote this on my fb: The left, ostensibly supporters of women's rights, seems unable to conceptualize a healthy marriage in which the wife does not fall in lock step with her husband's ideas.

it's in response to Cindy McCain being in the NOH8 video saying the US government policies and not allowing gays to serve in openly in the military has contributed to the culture of bullies against LGBT youth.

ok here's what I wrote this far "I don't think it's just the left that thinks opposing political views within a marriage is interesting enough to take note of, especially when the differing views are taken so public from within a high level elected official's family.

I don't see the connection between women's rights and finding this level of political disagreement within a family worth note and/or not so common. I do think the phrase lock-step is very loaded, though."

I think that works, msbelle. Or just a generic in today's politics, it is unusual for high profile political spouses to take opposing views public.

ION, OOF. Been going and going tonight. 66 laps in 63! minutes. With cooldown, got to 2 miles. Home, laundry, dinner, manicure, recycling out. Still haven't walked Loki. Morning: market, Ellicott City for a haircut. Am hoping to hit Target and TJ's in Columbia on that trip, if I have time. Then back, swim, get all dressed up, go to a thing @7. Sunday, rake leaves, try shopping for a dress, more laundry, swim.
