of chicken cutlets and strings

[sistawendy]

OK, either major bra manufacturers or Fred Meyer don't think 38A is a size you can make money from. So, 36A. Le sigh. Nibs taught me a new term: "chicken cutlets".

Speaking of Nibs, I rented season 1, disc 1 of The L Word recently because, among other reasons, I've never seen any of it. Nibs asked, "You're not going to turn into a big lesbian on me, are you?" We'll see, Nibs. We'll see.

Also speaking of Nibs, she's asked me to start staying over at the Abbey two nights a week instead of the previous one. Yes, the dog does get everyone up early, but 1) she wanted me out of the house as much as I did, 2) sooner or later we'll have to split up completely, and 3) I just don't wanna. Says she, she doesn't get any sleep at night because of her meds, and a giant, rambunctious puppy doesn't help. I'm sure both of those are true. The thing is, her first instinct is still to call me: the other day she asked me to do her Costco run because she can't lift a flat of bottled water. I think we'll be talking about this in couples counselling.

I'll also be the dissenter. Help with water? Yes. More nights? No.

That being said, if she can't lift it she needs to not get it. Brita and a Kleen Kanteen.

She's solved the problem by buying a carbonating thingy. She can make her own fizzy water, and it should pay for itself in a matter of months.

The Soda Stream is one of the best investments I have made in a long time. Mine paid for itself within a month.

To clarify: The water thing is something you do for friends or for family, provided it's an occasional thing, or if it is a regular thing that there is trade off.

I'm really not sure how occasional this is or how much tradeoff there is. I'm basically living alone, so I don't need that many Costco-sized packages of things. Besides, stores have staff for helping disabled people.

Hah! I have tried to get people to help me at Costco when pregnant and carrying toddler or injured and I have had luck about oh.... 1/5 times.
