I need a costume

I just realized that by the time I get home tonight I will most likely be in no shape to write or post anything here. I have a business meeting at 7 p.m. with the King of All Douchebags, and it promises to get ugly. Thankfully there will be others there, most of them in my corner, but still. It’s the whole idea of having to deal with someone’s fragile, yet enormous, ego that tanks my day.

And while Daddy was gone…

Well, now that we’ve shown the finished product to M, I am allowed to talk about the fact that Zoe had her ears pierced Friday. She swore me to secrecy until we could show him, and he’s on retreat this weekend.

Lost: creativity, and the willpower to stop eating

It’s 9:14 p.m. and I’m tired because I was up until 2 a.m. and I have heartburn because when I am stressed I overeat and by the end of this week I should weigh 5,739 pounds at the rate I’m going so I think maybe the heartburn is saying, “Hey, stupid, stop shoving everything you can find in your mouth. That’s not good for you. Drink water.” I should listen to the heartburn. If I promise to listen to you, will you go away? Now, please.
