Oh man, I want to play Barbies so bad right now.

I always wanted that one, but not as much as I wanted Crystal Barbie with the “diamond” earrings, necklace and ring. My little sister got her for Christmas and wouldn’t share, though. I may not be entirely over the disappointment.

Two different shoes? Is this a thing now?

That was my thought exactly! How long does it take to put on decent zombie makeup? Can it be done while lying down? Logistics might be tough, but I’m confident the cosplay community is up to the challenge.

Two kids, and we only do photo Christmas cards if I miraculously have a decent picture of the kiddos together.

Needs more zombies, though.

Well done! I was too lazy to try to hit pause at the right moment.

I like Too Faced eyeshadow primer. Feels nice - not like spackle - and provides just enough grip to get decent color out of my liners and shadows.

Yesyesyesyes on Irish as #1.

Now I’m really hoping the song comes on the radio on the drive home so I can teach “faster than my puppy” to my littlest! (And not just so I can watch the inevitable faster-than-my-buddy vs. faster-than-my-puppy showdown between the kids later.)

My kids mishear lyrics and turn songs into Kidz Bop fodder all the time, and I LOVE IT.

Taking a wild guess here that she’s never met Idaho Gov. Butch Otter.

It’s great that you were so successful at breastfeeding, but refusing to believe someone who says they don’t make enough milk? That’s pretty rotten. I had to have emergency, life-saving surgery less than 24 hours after giving birth. I hemorrhaged, repeatedly. The severe blood loss and trauma dramatically reduced my…
