Just say "l'chaim!!" as you raise your glass of wine and turn 3/4 to show off your figure and diamonds.
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
The funny think is? I don't even love diamonds! But my mom is lending me her jewels and giving me my Xmas coat early. She gets it.
Dan was all "But what if she thinks we have money she thinks we've been hiding from her?"
Well, the bracelet with be a gift from an ex-doctor BF, and the earring were my grandmothers. I always fly with them, for luck.
Oh, god, I AM petty. But I feel the need to armor up.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Almost all the errands have been done. The only thing I didn't get done wasn't my fault.(I need to bring a specimen from the cats to the vet, and they didn't provide one since the litter box was cleaned last night.)

Our wings are not tired.
Dont know if it's petty, Erin, but I think it's unnecessary. You're more than enough awesome without bling. The only person you care about, when it gets down to it, is M, and he doesn't give a rat's ass about bling. He loves you for your effirts in being an awesome stepmom and pancake-making skills. Kids can pick up on adult politics very easily, and he might notice a "different" you. Be yourself, don't worry about sending messages to the ex. You don't need to.
(I mean, not that you asked. Sorry!!)

I think there's no problem in presenting yourself as awesome, Erin. Or, do whatever you like if it makes you happy.
As for me, I'm going to the bank and then off to do some shopping, and maybe pick up a Christmas tree. For once I don't have to be out with my folks this morning so I slept late and took the dog for a long walk.
Later I might make ginger snaps or decorate while I listen to the latest (and possibly last, sniff) Pratchett novel.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
CJ passed his probationary test and his e-care test, so he is now officially an Advanced First Responder with the Arapahoe Rescue Patrol. I'm VERY proud of him. He has put in so much hard work.
Update on the kiddos - the elder has a huge pile of blankets/throws and I'm not sure what he is doing. Maybe a fort? The baby is so close to standing. When do kids start popping teeth? She is almost 11 months old and has nary a tooth.

Dough is chilling. My house smells lemon fresh! I'll probably be baking all damned morning tomorrow.
OK, time to tackle the upstairs.

Hooray on CJ.
In theory, I am tidying up the house. In reality, I am farting around on the internet and occasionally putting something where it belongs.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I say if wearing a little bling makes you feel awesome and confident, do it, Erin. If you are doing it to make her feel littler, less cool. But a little honest amour doesn't hurt.
As long as you don't set your heart on frames that Are Obviously Wrong for you AND try to argue your case? There probably wouldn't be any crying.
Well, I am thinking it's worth a shot. I like both pairs I own but they don't fit as well as they should.

Art Crawl!!!
I love New Year's cards and next year is the year of the Dragon!
And I have a dragon niece and a dragon brother so I am v. excited.
Hooray for CJ!
Also - drunken Amy is funny and adorable.
Kate P- your day sounds hectic but fun. I need to knit, knit, knit to finish my (dragon) niece's arm warmers now that I've finally detangled the mess I made of the yarn.
