"Never pay for people who don't even pretend to like your cat."

you are SO right! help comes in all sorts of flavours - and allowing a friend to sort things out for herself does so much more for her in the end. it's rough, though, playing the long game is sadly under-appreciated these days.

ha. i thought this was true, until it was thrown in my face literally yesterday when i refused to bail a friend out of her $800 (!) phone bill. i wasn't even trying to burn this bridge - believe me, the quickest way to remain friends is not NOT pay other people's phone bills, no matter how desperate they are.

it is now...

that is amazing!

ha. who knew that no bathroom privacy would have a plus-side? good on you.

that totally depresses me - but i guess it can be mysterious down there if everyone in your life keeps making it mysterious.

i am (sadly) not quite that interesting!

perfect! i don't drink - so if i can just work on getting the butter/pop rocks thing in there, we'd have a hell of a dinner party.

@bellaluna my kid is 4, so we are currently sitting at Level 0 on the embarrassment meter - i've had the best conversations with her about everything from tampons to the pill to vasectomies... but there will definitely come a day where i won't be her only confidante, and then the Almighty Condom Drawer can pick up…

we have pleasant looking storage boxes (linen etc) that are sitting on shelves, totally empty - just waiting for the 2-minute tidy. also, the entire master bedroom or home office is perfect - no one expects to go in there.

thanks, obviously! i miss my cat who died and now stare creepily at the adoptable ones at the back of the place where i get my dog's food. i will stare at this now, instead. hurray!

eek. every time there's a study that pushes the screening age north by 5 or 10 years i do a little dance. i laughed giving birth but cried trying to breastfeed - broke my heart.
