Dream Analysis Time
Since I was a young girl, I’ve had this recurring nightmare of a lion being on the loose. Sometimes it’s escaped from a circus, sometimes it’s just there for no reason. I always had dreams of having to stay inside because a lion was prowling the streets. I would wake up terrified and feeling trapped.
Last night I had the dream again, but this time the lion was in my house. I had to lock myself in the bathroom and it was trying to push down the door. I held the door up while I tried to get 911 on the phone. I remember the guy who answered 911 immediately saying, “You know this is for emergencies only, right?” and then looking out the window to see my boss standing on my lawn texting on his iPhone. WTF?
Where Have All The Tampons Gone?
Do any of you out there use o.b. tampons? Have you noticed that they’ve gone missing? I’ve been to three or four different stores and they are GONE. I heard they are being discontinued for a while due to “production issues.” WHAT THE EFF? I’ve used them for more than twenty years. I hate plastic applicators and I don’t really like Tampax. I’m not really wanting to go the Diva Cup route…anyone have any suggestions? I heard that o.b. ultras in the 40-ct box are going for $40 on eBay. This is like that Seinfeld episode when they discontinue the sponge!
Well, That Blows
Seems I can’t get to my blog anymore from work if I’m logged into their network (I’m at home today and haven’t logged in yet). It hangs forever and then I get a timeout error. This is going to be a problem. Anyone have any ideas on how to get around it?
Because I am Elderly and No Longer Understand the Ways of the Internet
Please explain these to me – how they work and why I should find them important/useful:
- Tumblr
- Foursquare
Thank you.
Advice on TMFT
You may have noticed I’ve been neglecting Too Much Free Time. It’s been neglected for quite a while now, actually, as I was the only person posting there for weeks and weeks. I don’t want to give it up but I can’t run it by myself, either. What do you guys think? Is it time to pack it in, time to go in a new direction (shorter recaps or some other sort of “hook” like my haiku recaps)? Perhaps it’s time to add some new people and new shows to the roster? Brainstorm in the comments, won’tcha?
Help Me Find a Good Concealer
I just switched concealers and I’m having an allergic reaction to the new one, under my eye. What’s your favorite concealer? I’ve found the ones that work best for me are solid, that I can smear on with a pinkie finger or q-tip, and then some pressed powder on top to set it. I need something that works on sensitive skin. Any recommendations?
Shoe Advice Needed
Question to all you shoe fanatics out there. Two of my very favorite brands of shoes are Keen and Born. What other brands would I like?
I Scream, You Scream
We recently purchased a Cuisinart ice cream/frozen yogurt maker, and broke it in this weekend.
I made a batch of vanilla with frozen blueberries, and mama mia, was it delicious. I used a combo of skim milk and half-and-half, as I don’t do well with whole milk. It came out kind of soft, but from what I’ve read, that’s just the way the machine works. We stuck it in the freezer for a while, and then used it to top some farm stand blueberry pie. HEAVEN. There’s still a bit left over and I look forward to noshing on it tonight.
Do you guys ever make ice cream or yogurt at home? Share your favorite recipes and tips on getting the best product in the comments. Thanks!
