Pentecost


Today is Pentecost in the Christian calendar. There is a tradition at my church to celebrate by wearing red. Other cultures have interesting rituals regarding this day. In parts of Europe, the Monday following Pentecost is a holiday.

I plan to celebrate the day as a heathen, camping in the woods. But if I were headed to church, this dress (above) would be a nice choice.

And these shorts, from Olive Juice Kids, would be so adorable on Big E.

This dress, with its red poppy trim, would make Becca look improbably innocent.

Papi Chulo, as the resident redhead, could sit this one out.

    Well, that explains why Big E insisted I wash that red checked dress shirt this morning. I hate to break it to him that we won't be dressing up...

    We dressed in red for Pentecost! I let Miss J. pick out our clothes, figuing we didn't have so much red that it would go awry.

You are a total hoser if you don’t dress up for Halloween. Granted, I haven’t dressed up in a few years, but I am about to change that this year. I have an idea … but it’s a surprise! Actually, I have lots of Halloween ideas. I’ve put together a few sample ideas for some of my favorite bloggers. If you find yourself in need of inspiration, send me a link to your blog, or just describe what you’re doing on Halloween night, and I’ll give you a hand. Emily and Rob : Alice and Ralph Kramden ! Soletrain : ODB . Wouldn’t you pay money to see Uncle John wearing a grill? Anyway, I’m sure he already has the outfit. He just needs to accessorize with a 40. Bunny Tomerlin : Goth princess .

The Bikini Wax: An Internal Dialogue

God, this is horrifying. I wonder if she's as embarrassed as I am. OW! Ow MOTHERFUCKER! Okay, this hurts less than childbirth, but only because it doesn't last as long. What is she saying? I wish I spoke Vietnamese. I think I outweigh the entire staff combined. Dude, where is she going? They need a picture on this ceiling. They would probably put up a picture of Hannah Montana. I will not think about Miley Cyrus. I will not think about Miley Cyrus. Hey, I bet my nails are dry. I wonder if the liquor store next door sells ice. Next time I'm paying more for a place with numbing cream. Which is worse -- being her or being me? OW. Me. At times like this it's good to have some poetry memorized. 'Twas brillig and the ... the ... Dammit. HOW BIG IS MY VAGINA? She could have mowed the back 40 by now. God, how come nobody told me this shit was growing halfway down my leg? Did I water the clematis last night? Next time: vodka first. Next time: Vicodin first.
