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

an all-Snickers diet, as long as it's 2000 calories' worth or less of Snickers.

Didn't someone recently do that with Twinkies to prove a point?

It really depends what your goals are. If you want to lose weight and don't care about other factors you are going to want way different dietary parameters than if you want to lower your blood pressure but don't care what your weight is. Etc. People who talk about "eating healthy" as if there is just one way to do it bug me almost as much as that horrible "eating clean" phrase (which I consider utter nonsense. I'm sorry if anyone believes passionately in it, it seems to me to just be meaninglesss buzzwords that people attach to whatever their particular hobby horse is)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

To tie together Jesse's and Teppy's posts, our vending machine has recently been stocked with full size Take five bars, which I have been able to avoid, because I made sure some of the 30% off candy I bought on the 1st included fun size Take 5 bars.

ION, I am finally, after noon, getting to my usual first-thing-every-morning tasks. So that's five hours late. This day.

Presentation kind of sucked, but mostly got the information accross. Sigh. Did not help that the meeting started 10 and I have a hard deadline for one of my accounts of 10 am that I had to work to meet right up to meeting time. And no my tea is cold.

I am in the kind of mood where I think I probably would feel better after a good cry, but there isn't actually anything wrong, as such. Hard to deal with at the office where people would be concerned and want to know what is wrong.

I'm guessing I just reached that stage of post pregnancy that I heard about where your hair starts falling out. Fun.

Aw, that doesn't sound fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

!!!! Living the dream! (Now I have to go check my newly restocked vending machine...)

I'm guessing I just reached that stage of post pregnancy that I heard about where your hair starts falling out. Fun.

Is that because you got more hair during pregnancy and are just going back to baseline, or did I make that up?

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

Jesse, I seem to remember that - hair doesn't fall out as much during pregnancy, so when you go back to "normal" fall out, there is some catching up your follicles have to do.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

The phone tech guy is here, and he just said "I need to call the manhole guy." That can't be good.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

He I guess your hormones keep your hair from falling out during pregnancy and then when the hormones go away the hair starts coming out all at once instead of the few hairs a day you normal lose. I guess you can lose more than what you would normally lose, but it is suppose to come back eventually.
