We’re doing portraits at work today.  It’s like school picture day.  All I can think about is my hair and if I have anything in my teeth.

Your tumblr is really inspiring to me.
I've just been through and looked at heaps of it.
Keep posting, and I'll keep reading/looking.

Stay beautiful!

jaymuhlee asked: I've been known to have some outrageously vivid dreams as well as exceptional memory of said dreams. Andrew wakes me up ALL THE TIME because he thinks I'm crying when I'm actually laughing hysterically in my little dream world. Anyway, I just woke up from a Tylenol induced period nap and I had the wildest sex dream with you!! I blame #ladypornday and my tweets with Jessica. ♥...

regarding my gyno appointment.
femmeoutofwater said: i don’t have any foolproof advice for preventing the fat-blaming, but i have had success writing a little haes blurb on my intake papers which eases my confrontation anxiety. you’ve already got the sass and the smartz to carry you through, girl <3  ...

Heading to my annual pelvic exam with a new doctor and I am terrified.  It’s not because I’m expecting bad news but because I know that my fat will get blamed for things all sorts of things— from my last period, which was very late due to stress, to I don’t know.  Global warming and the genocide going on in Libya.  The last time I was at the gyno, the cunt told me—...

torridly: making things: lovely gloves →
torridly: here’s my thing-a-day for all week. these are elbow-length fingerless gloves, knit up from some awesome custom-dyed yarn I got from my birthday. I improvised the pattern: it’s a mock cable ribbing that stretches out nicely. I wonder if there is a long German word for the satisfaction one…

first outfit post! →
redhead-bouquet: (this is so much more involved than i thought it would be. i think i’m over-complicating it. i went through three ridiculous outfits before i had to adopt “keep it simple” as my mantra and just wear what i actually wanted to wear today. then there’s the drama of finding a place to take a photo and setting the camera up, and oy vey! my respect for people who do this everyday is...

The Extender Reviews The Gold & The Beautiful! →
It was, note, a scrum, an absolute, fabulous scrum. I had to wait a few minutes to go in when I first got there, as it was at capacity. The venue (Kathryn Kerrigan Shoes) was too small and needed much more seating, but I am disinclined to fault anybody for that, as it was the first such event. I saw so many smiling faces. …  As I walked down Damen Ave. that night, which was,...

gabifresh-deactivated20110621-d asked: I had a great time at the event though I didn't stay long! I know HOW much time and effort goes into these things and you guys were all wonderful to me. I found that Jessica pretty well explained a rational response to the recent criticism..though I have to ask about this: "and to throw a comment my way about not being as attractive as the girl behind me in line." Is this true? What...

The Gold & The Beautiful
tangledupinlace: siamesemeg: So, I went to The Gold & The Beautiful Clothing Exchange Party on Sunday night… and I’m sad to say I left bummed and, even worse, not surprised to be bummed. I do want to acknowledge the work the organizers put into the event. I’m pleased that something like this happened at all, and, yes, I did find what might be the MOST PERFECT PAIR OF JEANS, EVER in a...

Backhanded Congratulations to the Arcade Fire  →
“… it’s like Panera beating McDonald’s, KFC, and Taco Bell for World’s Best Restaurant” Tanner McSwain is the really handsome guy that I get to call my main squeeze and partner in crime.  He writes really good <3 and says things about music that make me like it more.
