Adding insult to the injury of my week: getting diet Coke in the drive-thru instead of the real Coke I requested. Seriously, universe: I AM ARMED. Don't tempt me.

The Eighties Time Capsule Post

What mamacita is... Watching When I was in junior high, my church youth group was invited to a lock-in at the Episcopal church in Port Arthur. The thing I remember most about that night is how strange all the other kids looked. I remember at least one kid had a sidewinder haircut, which I'd never seen before. Other boys had long hair. Some kids had multiple piercings. There was a girl in Goth raiment (though I didn't know what to call it at the time). I remember calling my parents and saying, "There are some weird people here." It's not that I wanted to leave -- I just had to tell somebody about all the fascinating things that were happening. For comparison's sake: in Bridge City, boys weren't allowed to wear their hair past their collars, and they definitely weren't allowed to have anything pierced. Girls weren't allowed to pierce anything besides their ears, once . [Things have changed now, and as far as I know, all of those rules have
It's Decorative Gourd Season, Motherfuckers .

I thought you might like to know that there is a wealth of last-minute Halloween costume inspiration on the American Apparel website. I know this because I had to buy the kids some clothes recently. The leggings I bought for Becca are off the chain . I really wanted to buy some for myself, except I think that encasing my cottage cheese into these awesome pants is probably illegal. Check it out: Are those not the best pants EVER?

It's the little things.

It turned out to be scarier than we thought it would be, but the kids still liked it.

Let's Talk Halloween

I LOVE Halloween. I've been thinking about our Halloween party since school started. I've been talking about Halloween decorations to everyone I see. Just so you know my feelings on the subject. Because this right here? It bugs the shit out of me. Every time I drive by this house, I think about this . [DON'T click that link, Letitia.] Is it just me? Am I being too sensitive?

Rainy day, and I'm listening "Everlong" over and over. Fuck yes .
