I am cautiously optimistic today. We just needed Harper and the Conservatives out. Considering that Canada has elected Liberal over 70% of the time in the past, this election shouldn’t feel like the monstrous watershed that it does: I think that comes down to Harper making like a dicktator (intentional) for so long.

Hahahahaha, I’d totally forgotten that picture.

My anxiety attacks are always accompanied by a wave of adrenaline rushes, which only compounds the anxiety. I have learned that besides getting my breathing slowed I need to eat something to ‘ground’ me, like a couple of pieces of toast. Then walk until the flushes stop. Later, a long hot epsom salts bath. Also, the…

So much this. Best.Mrs.Lovett.Ever.

This. Korres Greek Yoghurt overnight facial cream. I also use the Pomegranate gel cream for day. I love them. Stupid Sephora only carries them online now, but good old Shoppers Drug Mart has picked up the void.

And isn’t finding a beloved one in a winter coat pocket like winning the lottery?! Small pleasures, I tell ya.

They must have changed the formula, because the pomegranate one was my old faithful until recently. You know that you are jonesing for your balm when you are using a teeny scraper in the tube to get every last bit out.

Pfffft, don’t worry about it. She says lip-balm addiction like it’s a bad thing.

All.those.broken.oars.

When my husband was in Japan for business meetings he actually called me from his hotel bathroom to wax poetic about the Japanese toilet. It apparently had every setting imaginable, and prolly would not have been surprising to include a drop-down disco ball. He still dreams about owning a Japanese toilet.

Doug could be such a bitch. And I remember one couple who had their ceiling fan removed from their bedroom and the guy went ballistic.

It was so insanely hideous, topped by small children living in the house....wtf was she thinking?

I felt the same about the little girl. Even if I could have teamed her up with Johnny and Sarah..the two godlings..I wouldn’t have fretted for her.

All extremely well said, oscar. Judging by the number of posts on the Witcher forums about how profoundly players were affected by the Baron’s questline, you aren’t alone.

Actually there is another ending: if you release the tree spirit before taking on The Ladies of the Woods quest, the baron’s wife lives for him to take her into the Blue Mountains for a cure and he promises their daughter that when her mother is better that they will come back to her. The Spirit rampages the backward…

I went back and thanked an assistant for all his help and sound suggestions when I was in reno hell and I swear the man got tears in his eyes...probably because my project was finally completed, but that’s another story.

He looks like any ol’ Joe Shmub walking around the Financial District on his lunch break. My heart broke just a little.

I just couldn’t stay interested in The Affair. I found it was like watching paint dry. The character motivations remained deliberately vague as a story mechanism, but oy did the story suffer for it. I think I bailed by episode 3.

I have hooded eyes, so I paid particular attention to any smokey eye tutorial specifically for them. Small eyes might benefit from the same technique, but maybe other small-eyed Jezzies can corroborate?

Vine Vera has a similar eye bag reducing serum. I had the test face makeover drill while I was on vacation in Maui recently. I liked the eye serum, but fortunately I also really like the Korres face creams that I currently use which are enormously cheaper. I could abstain from Vine Vera up-sell because ‘carry-on…
