oh. my. gosh. Have you ever had one of those days when you wake up, are feeling really productive, but then hit a wall around lunchtime? (Maybe I need some Emerald Nuts...) Oy. I've had to be very conscious of the weight of my head, because it keeps gravitating to my desk. It's the kind of sleepy where if you can just close your eyes for five minutes, everything will be fine. Then you wake up two hours later, confused and probably with drool all over your cheek.

Tomorrow I'm going with the ladyfriends to try on bridesmaid dresses for A's wedding. But I'll have to make my undergarment choices carefully. I'll have to wear Spanx (naturally) and possibly wrap myself head-to toe in spandex/lycra, to create a more smooth base so that all the taffeta, tulle, satin and organza will lay more nicely and not cling to every bulge and dimple. Oy again. But, at least I'll have my support group with me, and I am completely confident that no one will let me purchase something atrocious. Right, ladies?

Had a most uncomfortable lunch today with Mother regarding religion and Lil' Puddin' Tater. I'll spare you all the gory details, but the conversation did involve phrases like, "She's my daughter. I will raise her as I see fit," "I know you think you're right, but you're so wrong," and "You're doing Lil' Puddin' Tater a disservice by not embracing this." Yeah. It was unpleasant, but I think the she got the message, and now we'll just have to slink into our respective corners and lick our wounds for a day or so. I won't lie, many things that were said stung a bit.

The new iPhone update comes out on the 17th. I am counting the minutes.
