what is the deal?

i have had it up to my nose with flimsy toilet seat covers. who designed the blasted things? i am completely in favor of the public bathroom toilet seat cover mission, BUT...the little part that you punch out and drape inside the bowl is my arch nemesis. no sooner have i placed it on the toilet that is it slowly sinking into the toilet! by the time i am ready to sit down, the whole cover is swimming in the toilet water!

i have started ripping the little center part out all together. strategies?

pizza party

justin, flannel, barbie, and i had a pizza party tonight. we all ate dinner on the kitchen floor. bunnels ate her salad while justin made pizza from scratch. (ok, i lied. barbie did not attend. she cancelled at the last minute because she had a date with ken...)

anyway, kitchen pizza parties are the best. we used our special pizza plates (triangle-shaped plates), drank wine, and petted the bun...all while sitting on our kitchen floor. we do that sometimes.

a great evening in for a shitty evening out...yes, it snowed today.

sisters?

i am an only child. buuuttt, i have sisters. i have some very special women in my life that i have met along the way who i truly consider my sisters.

sisters are people who will make soup with you for your grandma while wearing bunny ears. (and it will be their idea to turn a disaster into a delight). thank you.

...they will rip open your pants pockets - you know, the kind that are sewn together for the sheer look when you first get them.
they will send you tape and foil pieces of feces.
they will also knit a small sweater for a mole and send it to you.
they will drink vodka and cranberry with you and sing shania twain with you on the beach.
they will do the arseno hall chant when you ask them to.
they will tell you that you are right, and they will tell you when you are wrong. they will make you toast.
they will support you when you don't ask them to, and they will know when you need them.

a year ago this coming weekend my friends descended upon me for my bachelorette party.

cleveland, pittsburgh, los angeles, baltimore, new york, chicago...

featured in the photo is my very special sister ash.

friends are the best.

a face only a mother can love?

well, i think not. however, i am the mother of this precious snoot, so my opinion may be a bit subjective. BUUUUTTTT, i don't think it is. you will have to tell me. how darn cute is she??

bunnels has put her little one bedroom, one bath apartment up for rent. she is hoping to move into our bedroom. we have a sheep in the house, herman, and she would like to rent it out to him...she feels he would be a responsible tenant...

...we have not told her that this is not an option. it is extra pathetic because she made a sign and hung it in her apartment window...

on a lighter note, flan makes my life so great. she is completely tuned in to my moods and is extra loving and concerned when i am sad, or sick. are you thinking of getting a bunny? do it!!!

big city dogs.

i wonder where these guys are this very minute...
