I fully expect this to find its way to an Unfunny_business post

Sadly, this is who my home state saw fit to replace Russ Feingold with.

Currently, the first five google results for "what if I can't afford birth control?" are articles pertaining to Senator Johnson. The link which was at the top of ThinkProgress' search is still on the first page of results, though - and it specifically suggests Planned Parenthood as the number one option for people who can't afford birth control.

Probably NOT what Johnson had in mind.

On the one hand, this or a similar pattern could be the answer to my problem of finding sun hats that are attractive, affordable, and FIT.

On the other hand? I still have a UFO from last fall that only needs the hem on one stinking leg done. Cough.

Anyway, this payday's spending money is going toward my fund for flying out to Margaret's wedding, and books.

But nonetheless.... next week I think I'll spend an afternoon doing recon to a locally owned and operated fabric store. <_< In the meantime, I'm going to make Mark change out of his pjs and toss both my darling Zodlings into the backyard to play.

A nice lazy afternoon on Spring Break

Jack developed a severe case of sour pickleness, so I made him come snuggle on my lap with a favored blankie and watch Maison Ikkoku til he fell asleep. \o/ He's now snoring on a couch.

Mark, once I laid Jack down, gave me the big pleading eyes of doom and requested a movie, so I turned off my anime and let him pick a Sesame Street dvd. He and Jack did a goodly amount of romping in the yard, and the back door's still open if he wants to take a break from Count von Count. If he attempts to fall asleep, he's only getting half an hour of naptime; I and Tom are sick unto death of having to stay up late to make sure he didn't have a massive accident in the bathroom requiring deep cleaning.

Right now I am polishing off some leftover strawberry rhubarb pie while I wait on laundry, and trying to stop myself from going overboard with ordering books to be held for me at the nearby Barnes and Noble. :D :D :D I was tempted to make Locke & Key volume two part of the list, but 20 bucks for an awfully thin book, albeit an awesome one, does not meet my cost-benefit analysis requirements. Not this payperiod; I have to replenish money I borrowed from my Margaret wedding trip fund and make my monthly addition to it as well. Instead I'm getting volume 14 of D. Grayman (finally!), volume six of Temeraire, a couple feminism books, and a couple gardening books. :D I can't pick them up until Friday, but I probably won't have time to read them until the boys are back in school next week anyway.
