I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I was hampered for some time by thinking that was a gecko.

ME TOO.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I can't believe she thinks she's on our side. Nobody wants her on their side. She's not even good enough for the racists.

This is why I ran my Chuck D essay by a bunch of black male friends. I am terrified of being her. For serious. The blinders.

Punishingly Intricate

Yeah, I was stuck on iguana and didn't get it. Thanks.

Ha! This was my issue as well.

I had an action packed day (5 mile run/walk, big brunch, shopping, cookie dough making) and have kind of fallen apart at the end here. Went to the restaurant around the corner and took two bites of my meal and felt nauseous. (Not the meal's fault!) Was able to hang on until Bob finished and came home. Now I am on the couch and the nausea has subsided but ugh! I really rarely get nauseous and NOT FUN! Also, getting sick now would be pretty inconvenient.

I worry that if I stop worrying I will become a monster. WITH SHARP TEETH AND GOOGLY EYES.

Even me "rapping" to mac today about chores as my alter ego MC Mama, is not close to her.

When I wore my 40" jeans, KING metal plaque hat, door knocker earrings at the ivy school right by Harlem and yo yo'd everyone. that was like her.

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

Still babysitting. K-Bug has gone off to her party. The 3 year old fell asleep (shoulda taken that nap we tried earlier) while watching Cars. Gonna have to wake him up soon. The 11 month old is being a clingy snuggle bunny (alternating between being endearing and annoying {I miss the luxury of peeing alone}). It is funny how much more vocal she is when her brother isn't in the room. Parents aren't due here for another couple of hours.

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

Allyson, if I believed for a second you'd tell black people how to define themselves, I'd make sure you checked yourself before you wrecked yourself.

But this woman is AWFUL. Jezebel totally wins, because they're getting a ton of pageviews, and I don't think for a second they care one way or another about her shittiness.

Hood cred! Hood cred! Can you believe it? She's trying to explain to people *why* she's earned the right to tell black people how to live, because she has some undefined HOOD cred. I despair that I have to accept that people are so stupid. And I'm appalled that she's raising a biracial kid with such blatant issues.

It never hurts to get a sanity check, Allyson, because shit slips through even when you mean the best (who hasn't fucked up ever?), but you could never be her.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, is it weird that I won't wash certain things together? Is it even sensical?

I've been trying to convince myself for months that I can wash my bathmat with some capri pants, because they are some of the few all-white things I own, so I could bleach them all together.

Highlights thus far include him swinging his santa hat around while singing "I whip my hair back and forth"

That is HILARIOUS.

She's trying to explain to people *why* she's earned the right to tell black people how to live, because she has some undefined HOOD cred.

Holy crap. Seriously.
