and everyone

today's post brought to you by life
I had this big long post written up about something I did over the weekend but it needed some tweaking and a little touching up to keep me from sounding like a completely vacuous monster. I kid. But not about that. As I sat down to work on it and

And when I say ugly... I really do mean ugly. Like, OMG, so ugly. Mother's day (for me) started Saturday... from here it's all bullet points... but really dashes because I like them better: A friend, not wanting to spew Start Trek spoilers at me but
