Doesn't make a lot of sense, does it?

We had dinner at The Melting Pot tonight in belated celebration of Steven's birthday. I managed to wear this at work, all day, and not have anything spilt on it. Miracles.

I'm wearing Ruby Woo, thanks to everyone who commented.

The blowout held out A LOT better than expected. I'm going to Target after this to get my own dryer and try to replicate it.

Our unadorned tree.


Stars one of the kids pasted to my face.

We didn't do much besides go to our respective work parties, the Lush store party, and dinner at Phonatic/tea at Blue State/crepes at La Creperie. Actually, I guess that was a lot.

We won Best Costume at the Lush Party. Prize was the Celebration! gift: Avobath, Champagne Supernova, Happy Hippy, Happy soap, and Each Peach. This is the first time I've won anything for a costume, so I was psyched.

New glasses from Zenni Optical. They were 12 frakking dollars for perscription. Can you believe that? Last pair I got from Lenscrafters were almost $400.

What do you think, flist?

Since a few people have asked, this is a picture of the kitten, who is now six months old. Don't be fooled, she was purring the whole time this picture was taken:

We've had insane weather here today. It was dark and dreary all day, so I had been expecting rain. Around 16.00, I thought I heard my grandfather get up; it sounds like he was in the office chair, rolling it on the floor. After about 15 minutes of this, I realized it was thunder. It got dark, bad enough that i had to turn on lights, and the rain started. I ended up venturing upstairs when I started hearing hail.

We ended up with marble sized hail and a tornado warning, as well as a couple reports of water spouts. My grandfather and I were seriously considering heading back to the basement; that's how bad the winds were getting. The street ended up flooding out. After the worst of the storm, I ventured out. There was a plank floating down the street which had to be moved. The water in the middle of the street was halfway up my calves and at its deepest, to my knees.


Obviously, I am not going anywhere till the water goes down a little more. Steven said Boston was all fucked up from the weather, too, so I am going to pick him up from the train when he gets in. His 17'00 became a 17'40.



New icon, too. It's from my crappy birthday, but at least I look nice in it.

Not cutting them because there's only two, they're adorable, and they're pretty small. Plus, it's after 2am; I'm sleepy.



Mum and Baby. Be warned of teh kyoot.


Slightly less cute, more sleepy.

I'm done posting now, kthxbye.

I'm too tired to make a real post, but I figured I would post a few pictures.

My nails are trendy black right now. Steven's dad's still not doing to well; he's on the ventilator and developed pneumonia. He's responding to stimuli, but still on dialysis. I've been working all week and am achy. I can't wait to sleep in. It was so hot in school today, hence the icon.

I'm hungry because I've been barfing since about 8. Genius had a coffee at the mall. I know better and I know how sick I will be if I do. It was tasty though. I found no shoes to fit my flatter, longer feet. I need 9s now, all my shoes are 8s or 8 1/2s. I feel drugged up from yakking so much. I just wolfed down a rice krispy treat because of it.

So tired and so achy.

I am going to caulk the tub tomorrow after my shower, I think. That or Sunday. There are creepy bugs in the mould. Stupid knee hurts.
