You can do it :) Sarah - It wasn't by choice! Dawn - I cleaned out the freezer in order to find some cookie dough earlier this week ;) Danielle - my sister made us tapas once, yum!! Katje - that class concept kicks.ass. Monty - did I tell you that I quit drinking (for the most part) and have lost 7-8 pounds in a month? Now if I wasn't such a pansy and would run in the cold, maybe I'd be even healthier! Erin – good luck!! You can do it :)

Especially in the laws. My Godfather and step-father were Okinawan and Japanese respectively. I grew up with a lot of the customs. Some I like and keep (no shoes in the house except soft house shoes, cosleeping until the child decides they're done, babywearing, etc.) and some I did not (suffering in silence, group before individual at all times, subservient women, etc.).

The idea is that you will need to be strong enough to outrun, outmaneuver, and fight your assailants after the Zombie Apocalypse. And by "socially acceptable" activity, I suppose you probably don't mean Vampire LARPing. Too bad, you'd be an awesome vamp! How about a dinner party with a vampire costume theme? Oh, and talk to Monica... she's got a lovely collection of nasty little vampire por^h^h^h literature.

Get climbed on at 8:45 a.m. by child. Drink delicious mocha and notice husband being all snuggly. Child's Nookie Alert System goes into overdrive and he trampolines onto both of us. Plug child into video game so we can have make-up sex. Try Zestra, wonder what the hell I've done to my lady parts. Take long hot shower, breathe sigh of relief that lady parts seem to have cooled off. Eat a bowl of really good leftover baked polenta and sausage. Have husband paint toenails in a springy pink color. Do a bit of laundry and house-cleaning. Go to local doula club's screening of "Laboring Under an Illusion." Find some local bahn mi for dinner. Go to early music concert where new friend is singing. Don't forget to get lost two or three times while driving around the city. Return to house where the boys have been feral all evening and undone the aforementioned housecleaning. Sigh deeply, count blessings, go to bed.

Now the snow melted and it rolled back into the drive... isn't this what dh is for? 3- laundry so my kids do not go to school looking like they wore their clothes to bed... oh, they do, but I don't want them to look like they do 4- clean out the freezer in the garage- and by clean out I really mean- find the carrot cake that I KNOW is in there somewhere! 5- plan my world domination/takeover... er, make the boys clean their room- MY WAY, not theirs. Think that is a full day. I might even make it a 2 day list, or even a 3 day to allow for unforseen disasters- you know they always happen so maybe I should plan for them too! My To Dos:

Dammit.), and, ironically, buy some sequins. Okay, that's stretching the truth. I'm actually buying appliques, not sequins. Because I'm a bride to be, not a figure skater. Which really isn't a bummer for me, since I can't ice skate so good, but I seem to have the bridezilla routine down pat. But it seemed cool to tell you I'm buying sequins.
