Yesterday I took Joey to see Sky High.  I enjoyed the date and the movie, but then again, I'm not known for my high brow tastes.  It was after the movie, though, that I received an unpleasant shock.  There was a little girl around Joey's height.  Joey is tall for a 5 year old, so she could have been 6, but probably no more than 7.  She was wearing ( Read more... )

It looks like Julia Roberts' wedding in Steel Magnolias. "Her colors are pink and pink". There is a pink banner up with the Disney Princesses saying "Princess Party". All the presents are wrapped in pink. I made a princess cake with Cinderella and pink/purple frosting. There's a pink tablecloth. And I'm soon off to buy pink and purple ( Read more... )

Please excuse this post. I know I'm privileged. I know I have a great life. I just have to let this out of my system. On any other day, I would be slamming the hell out of someone like me who is whining this badly. But, today, I'm Paris Hilton complaining about her life. Maybe because it's because the doc has reduced my prozac level. I ( Read more... )
