If Momma Ain't Happy, Ain't Nobody Happy

Okay, ladies, let us know the results of the Mother's Day Hint-a-thon.

Not exactly ... successful ... over here.

    No necklace here, but according to my latest issue of O, coral is endangered and I should have wanted fake coral anyway. I did get some owl themed jewelry from Target, so I will not be w/out some pretty serious hoot-owl bling.

    Hey -- what did I do to deserve bad karma? I'm a SAINT, I tell you.

    Hey, Jane, long time reader, first time commenter!

    Despite my efforts of sending wish lists and dropping hints, I got ... a gift certificate for a massage. Why is that so bad? I don't have any time as is right now. So I'm supposed to somehow carve out an hour somewhere, call myself for an appointment, etc.? Now if he had done all that and just dropped me off as a surprise--that's good.

    At least he got me something. Oh, and corralled the Little Miss for an hour so I could have a hassle-free nap.

    Does it make you feel any better about unsuccessful hinting if I told you that I know a woman whose husband gave her an oven?

    That's right. Mr. Romance took her to the appliance store on Mother's Day.

Reading/ Watching/ Listening

 Reading: The Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. I didn't like it nearly as much as A Gentleman in Moscow . In fact, I liked it only barely enough to keep reading. Watching: Poker Face , on Peacock. Papi and I have enjoyed watching this, one episode at a time, and not every day. It's a little formulaic, but the sets and the guest stars are fun. I like that it changes scenery every episode. Listening to: The Beatles Channel, Sirius XM. Ever since watching Get Back , the Beatles documentary, I've enjoyed listening to them with new ears.

Be Awesome for Halloween

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 . Because I bet she’s never even worn PVC. (Polyvore set via Haley ) Grosgrain Garage : preppy Jesus – Bonnanos, tunic with gingham trim and a ribbon belt, pearls worn as a thorny crown Megan: Now that she's succumbed to making wreaths , Mega

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.
