See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That's a gorgeous tattoo.

My panties are categorized as: fancy silk that feel lovely for the first 1.8 seconds and then wedgie me; old; really old; maternity; Mesozoic; thong (exactly one, a bridal shower gift; I can't give it away because nobody will take it, I can't stand to wear it, and I can't bring myself to throw a perfectly good article of clothing away, so there it sits); and new. The new ones are just a very basic 3-pack that I got at Walgreens a few weeks ago, but they're very soft and I like the colors.

The other evening as I was getting undressed for bed, Matilda said, "Mommy, I really like your new underwear! It's so pretty! ... Mommy? Someday, will you show your new underwear to Daddy?"

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Did anyone know you can make your own chocolate croissants by spreading Nutella onto Pillsbury crescent rolls and baking them?

WHAT. Why did I not know this?

so awesome the women in my family are contemplating getting it as a family tattoo!

The lotus on my back is not the exact same as the lotuses on my brother's feet, but they're similar, and done by the same tattoo artist, and I love that we have similar tattoos.

I will NEVER get a tattoo on my neck like my dad. Sorry, Dad.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Want a Nutella croissant NOW.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Why did I not know this?

I KNOW! It's so simple and so delicious!

I'm eating Nutella off a spoon right now.

It's pretty good.

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

I got so much good stuff yesterday during onerous task time, I am doing it again. 2 bills to pay (one late) and a call to make about a bill I should not be receiving.

Speaking of onerous task time, should we do another one before xmas, or after the holidays or let the randomizer decide?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I can vouch for the TJs chocolate croissants. They are delish. I am getting the car washed, then to the market to pick up cat food. Then grading before parent-teacher conferences. Onerous task Thirsday?

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

I got TJ's frozen chocolate croissants

Those are NOM!!!! Another frozen thing I miss.

I love Nutella. Unfortunately it isn't allowed in my house. I have absolutely no self control when it comes to that stuff. Sure, I'd make the Nutella and Pillsbury rolls. And while they are baking, I'd eat spoonfuls. Once they were done, I'd likely decide they needed more Nutella. And then, somehow, the jar would be empty. With a spatula even. Nope, not allowed.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Onerous task day went so well that I have only one quite simple task left on my autofocus first list. (I'm using this revision but I'm late to the party so I don't have an entirely clear vision about the method but it's working well so far. And true to its promise, I now feel relatively hopeful about the second list.
