Beauty routine meme

Via texanne/ anne:

I believe I am competing with anne to be, as she says, the world's most tomboyish femme (for those who don't know me--this is me:

Although for me, probably just like many another middle-aged woman, moisturizers are SRS BSNS, so I suppose that's not utterly tomboyish, in either me or Anne).

2010 in first lines

2010-12-31T16:31:25Z

Because kalmn did it. Not necessarily the first post of each month, but the first line of a characteristic post for each month:

January: My first day of taking BP meds, my brain gremlin was all like, "you suck! You're such a failure! I can' t believe you can't fix this problem without a prescription, weakling!"

February: drinking electrolyte beverages and eating salted cashews is not the best way to deal with the weird cravings brought on by your blood pressure medicine.

March: Here, have some Bread and Roses.

April: I've mentioned my concentration problems, right?

May: I'm thinking today about the way we measure ourselves as mothers.

June: Charlie is nearly 2, and is starting to look like a little boy instead of a baby.

July: We took Charlie to the allergist this morning for skin testing.

August: So, I'm growing out my bangs.

September: Holy crap, I finished a story.

October: Ok, so yesterday's doctor verdict means that I can't drink Diet Coke any more, and I can't drink Earl Grey tea either because of the bergamot oil.

November: Jeez do I have a crappy roster of choices for this year's election.

December: Through a concerted effort in both cleaning and shopping today, I have created a situation in which a person could open my fridge and actually want to eat or drink the things found therein; further, they could do so with a high likelihood of not dying as a result of doing so.

Amusingly bad LJ meme widget

2010-12-23T03:16:30Z

Via mamagotcha, (who did the less-odd 12-days widget from the same site) I found this thingy that generates New Year's resolutions based on interests & friends in your LJ. It, uh, doesn't work very well if you expect it to create sensible phrases, or non-suicide-inducing resolutions...

In 2011, marydell resolves to...

Cut down to ten computer graphics a day.
Connect with my inner kindle.
Give up writing.
Become a better anti-racism.
Give up books.
Ask my boss for a re-ment.
