Marry me?

The House of Mirth was glorious. I just got all-over goosepimples remembering it. Shoot, I love period drama.

"I see you here all the time, and you just work so hard. It's so inspiring for me! If you can do it, anyone can!"

Winner winner, turkey dinner!

My mother and uncle, who conveniently reside under the same roof, are absolutely paranoid about their cards being scanned in some way. Therefore, they both are getting the aluminum wallets so readily available at my local Walgreens. I'm tired of them digging out this aluminum foil packet every time we go someplace…

I love you, Tim Gunn. You keep on keepin' on.

Bravo.

Oh, well, she's vying for the House, but I got excited. Sorry :(

Let's not overlook a shining hope in the pit of despair that is Arizona and it's political climate (not unlike it's actual climate in it's extremes), in Kyrsten Sinema, who is in a hot race with a tea-party Republican.

I have tried to sort out the logistics of a childless person gaining entry into one of the pageants, and as I suspected, you have to have a kid. This is sad, because I truly, truly need to experience this ridiculosity for myself. And, your girl's…

I am on the Board of a Guinea Pig shelter in Arizona and I have five of my own. Also, two rats, a one-eyed hamster, two birds, and two cats. And, a roommate. About a year ago I started volunteering at the shelter, and it's changed my world. I love working with the pigs and other critters, and teaching the public…

I present to you, a trio of four day old guinea pigs recently rescued.

Gossip is so amazing live, it's just a shame to have the regal Ms. Ditto relegated to a side stage and an audience with distracted interests.

I give you The Love Me Nots, a local band in Phoenix. 50% female, 100% rock.

I now have my halloween costume pegged.

To paraphrase, "and then there was a baby in my fatigues. I really just thought I had to poop."
