You should have SEEN me rip open that bottle of Cymbalta last night. I was like the crackiest of crackheads.
The poor J-Man. What he must think…
Fashion this fall is so up my alley. Baggy ‘boyfriend’ jeans? Flannels? Schlumpy cardigans? It’s as if grunge has come back, and I for one could not be more thrilled.
I also love the resurgence of hooker shoes, and actually bought a pair a couple months ago:
AW YEAH
Sadly, they hurt like a bitch, and while in Minneapolis I was forced to take them off during dinner and walk bare-footed back to the hotel, where I gladly threw them into my suitcase and pulled out my beloved ballet flats.
I cannot suffer for fashion.
My stepfather’s birthday is coming up this weekend, and all he wants from me are peanut butter cookies, which he inhales at an alarming rate despite his ridiculously thin frame.

So that is what I will be doing today, plus washing all of my bedding, plus preparing to work on this mother of an art project the J-Man told me about at the last minute. Grrr.
My kid is an easy-going, carefree kind of guy, and as a result he forgets that I am an insane, type-A kind of mom who HATES to do things at the last minute and will spend the entire evening loudly saying, “You SHOULD have done this LAST WEEK.”
It’s beyond frustrating.
In other news, my mom and stepdad are plotting to make me get rid of the Bad Cat before we move.
There’s just no fucking way I’m getting rid of this cat, people. No way, no how. I seriously love this animal more than it’s healthy to love an animal, and she is NOT going to go.

She persists in attacking the other cats, canned air be damned, and the yowls and howls can probably be heard a block away.
STILL. I love her. She is sweet. She lays on my bed at night and purrs loudly. When I fall down, she comes over and licks the back of my head. She meows upon command. Seriously. I love this animal.

It has also been dictated that I cannot paint the ugly basement paneling in my stepdad’s lair red. In fact, I cannot paint the ugly basement paneling at all. “It’s real wood!” they shriek.
I don’t give a damn whether rare and beautiful redwoods died to make that fucking paneling. It’s UGLY.
Perhaps I will “accidentally” spill some paint, thereby making it necessary to paint the whole mess of it.
I don’t think I’ll ever get over being a teenaged rebel.
Happy Thursday.
I was just thinking the other day that grunge should be making its way back in to fashion soon. I hadn’t really given much thought to the “new” trends, but as you point out, they’re very “grunge” in nature.
Love your shoes but yeah, they didn’t work so well in Minneapolis. Sigh. Thems are sittin’ shoes, I suppose.
Thems are TOTALLY sittin’ shoes.
I have boots that resemble those in style; double strap, high heel, but lighter and a closed pointed toe. They are actually better to be standing than up and down in. Walking isn’t too bad (although, I will defer to those that have actually BEEN to MN). But I love them.
Yay for Cymb@lta~crack behavior be damned, its a need not a want.
And if they are soooo freaked at painting the wood? Stain it, poly it, and then just rough the poly to get the paint to stick. I promise, stripping this will do less damage than if you leave it as is. OR tell ‘em your putting up boards over it. OOOH wait, red fabric panels (so sorry, too much Trading Spaces).
Ok, back to work, lunch duly consumed reading you~
I would love to do something with it, but the P’s are convinced that it is some sort of national treasure. ARGH.
I gave some similar closed-toe shoes, too, and they are quite comfortable.
MY GOD, those shoes.
I know, right??
I have a cat who is terrorizing my other cats too. I’m about to send him to the pound *sigh* We keep putting it off, but the other cats run when he walks by and he will keep them from eating sometimes
mine does that too, but I absolutely cannot bear to part with her…
I totally get the cookie sheet issue, I generally bake with non sticks which means cleaning the burn burn will scratch the fuck out of them and thus ruin them. I have a solution. invest in a good old fashioned aluminum cookie sheet and have at it with an sos pad. might scratch it, but who the hell cares. you might have to work to get the caramelized sugar off, but it can be done and you have no worries about taking off the non stick coating. wham bam, still intact cookie sheet.
Thank you, that’s a great idea!!
My roommate did this and it actually looked pretty good:

I don’t know how it would work over wood panelling, but if you could get it to stick into the grooves without much bubbling, I bet it would look cool.
