I enjoyed Rules of Civility. One of my English teacher buddies said it's like a cheaper Great Gatsby and I added but with likeable characters.

Also, msbelle, Noah asked me why boys don't have babies cut out of their bellies. My explanation used the word uterus. So, I'm feeling you.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I would highly recommend Teppy come visit, walk to my Trader Joe's, and then get latke truck.

Mmmm, latke truck.

Thanks msbelle.

Not!Spartacus struck again and I'm so completely thankful for this community.

And my pain meds are not cutting the pain. I had maybe an hour of relief after I took my latest dose and now I have to wait another 4 before I can take more.

Hah--somehow the bacon/latke irony had not hit me until you mentioned that! Well, their "original" sandwich is pastrami. Though they also do an apple/brie one. In any case, delicious.

I have been trying to work out more so far this year (and doing pretty well at it!). I have not gone and worked out yet tonight (and it's 8:30PM, and I still need to clean the house for the housecleaner?) but it's because I got distracted and did my taxes tonight? Yay? Also, I'm not sure how the hell I earned LESS money in 2013 than in 2012. I guess the signing bonus in 2012 made more of a difference than two months at a much lower salary, and a minuscule raise for 2013? But I'm also proud because I put almost $5K more in my 401k (which, uh, needed it) than in 2012. So, go that.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oooh, apple brie latke sandwich sounds amazing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But I'm also proud because I put almost $5K more in my 401k (which, uh, needed it) than in 2012.

That's how you made less, right? Are 401K contributions pre-tax? Now I forget.
