Value Wit is down, L Factor is going into witness protection, Bookgirl is just plain missing.
I think it must be spring. Actually, at 97 degrees, it seems like summertime.
I get restless at this time of the year. Really, restless. I want to improve, change, focus, refine; whatever, so long as it's better.
I'm in the mood for posts that are breezier than my usual posts. I'm in the mood for ice cream for dinner and italian ice for breakfast. I'm in the mood for margaritas all day long: watermelon, mango, lime, repeat. There's something nice about a gentle buzz carrying the day.
Still, I'm sober, unless you count the heavy duty narcotics I take before bed at night. And the woozy feeling I have because Secret Lulu is flicking the light switch on and off and saying "Mommy stinks, Mommy stee-inks, Mommy stinks!" over and over again, which reminds me, tomorrow is the last day of preschool until mid-July starts the new year. Three weeks is looking long from this side of summer break. We'll see where we are come Tuesday.
Anyway, I don't have a lot to say, only that I miss you all and I'm looking forward to new bathing suits soon. If you want me, you can find me left of center--oops, make that to the right of the pretty blue pool, looking adorable in an oversized black straw hat and keeping an eye on Secret Lulu as she preps for the 2016 Olympics.
Dusty nipples is gross. And if they went under the couch, they could get sucked up in the vacuum cleaner - and thats just a mess.

I'm still here, Polly, though it does seem everyone else has vaporized. Go ahead, be breezy. It's easier with your new boobs.
Posted by: Diosa | June 20, 2008 at 07:11 AM
Diosa, you're an INTJ, I take reliability for granted with you. But my new boobs are swollen because of, I'm guessing, my period and the tremendous heat. Me no likey.
Posted by: Polly Poppins | June 20, 2008 at 07:45 AM
Liz, what if Secret Lulu mistook one for froot snax? Ew.
Posted by: Polly Poppins | June 20, 2008 at 07:52 AM
Polly, they're probably swollen because someone just cut them open, cut a bunch of them out, re-shaped them and then sewed them back together again. But I'm sure the period and the heat aren't helping.
Posted by: Diosa | June 20, 2008 at 09:12 AM
Diosa, that should be reason enough but the girls didn't really start swelling until two days ago. Talk about delayed reaction.
Posted by: Polly Poppins | June 20, 2008 at 10:23 AM
Ah, but how long ago did you have your drains out?
Posted by: Diosa | June 20, 2008 at 11:47 AM
Drains came out a week ago today, swelling started two days ago.
Posted by: Polly Poppins | June 20, 2008 at 02:31 PM
Yeah, Polly, that would be gross. And you'd be nippleless. I dont know about you but I prefer nipples, as opposed to no nipples. I think then it would just look like fat lumps attached to your ribs. I'm not digging that.
Maybe they're swollen because your pregnant?

PS - I continue to be amazed at Diosas ability to write, raise kids, be married, go to school, have friends, oh yeah - work, etc.
I mostly just drink and fantasize about drinking. So no time to write.... oh, I sleep, too. And eat I guess. So, yeah, I'm just busy in general with those things while Diosa, you know, does more.

Dusty nipples? I think we had a round of those at the bar once -- a shot of Bailey's, a shot of rye and a shot of Drambuie, shaken with ice and poured into a glass, oh, and you then dust the surface with cocoa powder. or Quik, if you're out of cocoa powder.
no, but seriously, when i first read "dusty nipples" in the first comment I thought it must be a fancy cocktail. which it isn't. but my faith in the world was restored when i googled " 'dusty nipple' drink" and got some Yu-Gi-Oh! slash fiction. now that's gross.

Kit, we might have met while I was on drugs, but just in case we didn't: hi there, I like you already.
Posted by: Polly Poppins | June 20, 2008 at 05:06 PM
Kit's cocktail concoction reminded me (for no apparent reason) of the Cement Mixer that Polly and I were persuaded to try once. Totally disgusting.

OMG Dol, I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Model, let's just say we're not friends with "cement mixer joke" guy anymore. Some people are a*sholes.
Posted by: Polly Poppins | June 23, 2008 at 06:31 AM
Liz - but apparently you're not amazed enough to come read? And I'm done classes for the moment, and possibly not going back, but I haven't decided yet. Maybe I'll do training seminars instead or something. Finding I'm less interested in the degree and more in the skills. I've always managed to swing more than a plate full, even when I was a kid.
Posted by: Diosa | June 23, 2008 at 07:58 AM
Diosa, who says she doesn't read?
Posted by: Polly Poppins | June 23, 2008 at 04:40 PM
Yes, apparently she's just lurking.
Posted by: Diosa | June 24, 2008 at 05:01 AM
Nope, she's guilty. She likes to take her time and read and respond over at LSOM, but finds that she always has too much to say. So she thinks she'll just go read later, when she has time to say what she wants to say, but then later never comes. Later is almost here, very soon. She heart Diosa's blog. Hearts it, just hasn't been showing it any love. And she's a bit embarrassed about it, so lets talk about someone else now.
Yes, thats a GREAT idea. Lets talk about Bookgirl.
My theory is that she's been squished by something (King Kong or some other NY "thing"??) and is stuck on a NY street, flattened like a bug. I can't imagine what else could have happened to Bookgirl, surely she's not hiding and certainly she's not being fabulous and single in the big city and having too much fun to blog, right?
Oh and PS - the book Polly talked about doing the discussion on or whatever - I put it on my list at the library and there were 117 people before me!!! Phew, must be a good book...
Posted by: Not Me! | June 24, 2008 at 07:49 AM
Not me! it's a very good book. You should just buy it.
Posted by: Polly Poppins | June 24, 2008 at 12:21 PM
Not me! Seriously, not trying to give you a hard time. Yes, I've noticed Bookgirl's been MIA too. I know she was in RI last weekend but I didn't get to see her.
