Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Eat food; not too much; mostly plants.

This. I need to get back to eating almost everything on a bed of spinach or mache.

Who was asking about the nutritional properties of V8? According to my nutritionist friend, no, you don't really get 2 servings of vegetables from V8. But it's better for you than soda!

I still sneak around with Dr. Pepper, despite what I said about kicking that bum to the curb...but I'm SO glad to have my SodaStream. I really do prefer it over juices and commercial sodas.

I'm really only interested in soda if there's alcohol in it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

so...i've been considering "putting myself back out there", but the only way i see to feasibly do that is to join a dating website. any recommendations or success stories? i'm terrible at these things because i'm terrible at "selling" myself.

I've met a lot of people off OK Cupid over the past year... It's free, so there's that. It also attracts a slightly more interesting crowd than other sites (although there is plenty of overlap).

Ann, that's a ferret.

I prefer diet soda to corn syrup soda, but soda with sugar to either.

Which is why I drink so many soft drinks when we're overseas. They use real sugar, and still have fewer calories than American corn syrup drinks. (I'm very, very thankful that we've found a British foods store fairly near home. I can get Lilt on a semi-regular basis!)

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

Bear in mind that Jesse has some sort of OK Cupid superpower--or I do. In the opposite direction. Because I can't make that shit work.

I just got back 1/2 an hour. I don't know what to do with it. I want a nap. But I need to copy and paste instead. And then search and replace. And convert to tables.

when you say interesting...how so, Jesse?

i'm sure i'll be in the same boat, ita. i'm really bad at this kind of thing.

I agree with her on the interesting. But not in a good way. But, I kinda encouraged them both.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I never met anyone decent off a dating site when I was in New York, and I imagine LA to be even more whatever-that-is. I think OK Cupid has a higher proportion of freaks and geeks (and I mean that in the best possible way!) -- more smart people, more kinky people, more nerds, etc. Along with the standard and cheesy types.

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

OMG Y'all! A day!

I forgot that mac had a field trip today and I didn't remember sending in the permission form, so when I verified that I had sent it in I also realized I had volunteered to chaperone. I had to run to the store to get us both lunches, then back to the school to get my assignments and directions. The split the kids into small groups with chaperones and I ended up with another parent with 9 kids. 3 hours at the science museum. good lord.

Now I need to confirm that grandma is getting him from school because I need to do all the errands I had planned for today.

One good thing is that the parent I paired up with was super cool so I think I have a new friend. YAY!
