Still Knitting. No pictures yet. But OMG I’m all coked out in etsy organic yarny goodness. If anyone knows how to get the little widget that lets me link in my sidebar to my fave etsys, lemme know.

It was pork tenderloin. The spotted dick captions were um … spot on :)

And thanks for all your votes. :)

How do you decide?

So Lotus is trying to remove the Evil One from the life that she and her son and husband share.

I told her my binary system for determining how I should proceed with Alex:

tears = actual crying (which he rarely does) = help him out however he needs

no tears = tantrum = let the little shit fend for himself, mama needs a drink and some private time with teh internets

How do you decide when/how to intervene with your little dictators?

The Importance of a Properly Fitting Bra

Look, it can make or break your look. I love the statistics of how so many women are wearing the wrong size bra, and then it never fails I get some idiot fitter who keeps telling me I can go up in the band to compensate for my cup size just so they can make a sale when they don’t carry my actual size. Even when trying to find a nursing bra they kept telling me this, I ended up with a 38 band. You know what happens when you take a 32/34 and put her in a 38?

Gawd, isn’t THAT pretty.

The other extreme is just as bad in a completely different way. Buying the right band size but the wrong cup size creates a look that can only be called “ass-chest.”

Then there’s the time that the angels sing in a beautiful chorus because, like Goldilocks, you find the one that is JUST RIGHT.

Just for good measure

mmm. Vampires!

Little known factoid about me. I love me some vampire goodness.

I could totally be her:

He’s TOTALLY on my laminated list (even though my husband is hotter):

Loved this book:

(and NO Janet – this book is SO not Roo appropriate!)

Janet’s Roo is hooked on these books:

and then Scout goes and shows me this link where he has a friend who’s a real live author who has completed real books that I could download in no time flat AND the last one is a vampire book.

Five bucks, vampires, and the first book in the series said it had lots of sex in it. Yum. I’m seeing this all as a win win situation here! If you need me I’ll be reading … um … cleaning … um … cooking … oh screw it – I’ll be off reading :)
