I read an article that said that the stamps that have no amount on them are, by default, whatever amount the current standard first class mail rate is. They said to stock up before the price hike (of a penny).

The mattress thing — forget the weird part and remember that you saved yourself a fortune!

That’s so funny! I was telling my mom how we were goign to give you our mattress, and I said to her: “Is it weird to be giving Hil a mattress that we conceived two children on?” We definitely think alike! And don’t worry, the mattress had sheets on during the conceiving processes

waterproof mascara is not in fact waterproof until you wish to remove it - but on the upside i find it flakes a lot less than regular

Even if it is weird — and I don’t know if it or isn’t, never having been offered a mattress on which children were conceived — as a multiple pet owner, I know that a thorough spraying with Febreze makes up for anything and everything.

I’ll be there tomorrow with the lovely missus, we’ll be giving away our mattress.

1. I hate waterproof mascara, and on Saturday I picked up the waterproof version on accident. Thank goodness I realized it before I left that section, otherwise I would have been quite disappointed when I got home. I don’t like it because it’s impossible to get every little bit of it off when you wash your face, it leaves that awful think smudge underneath your eye that takes an SOS pad to scour off. I agree with Kerri, though, the one good thing about it is that it doesn’t flake as easily.
2. Forget about the weirdness factor of the mattress. Febreeze and “out of sight, out of mind” should wash away any lurking “weirdness” from the baby conceiving.

it would only be weird if she delivered the babies on that mattress, not just conceived them.

and I’m supposed to go to the mediabistro thing tomorrow with josh from curbed and another friend of mine from grad school. so maybe I’ll see you there?

stamps: could they be from when they switched raised the prices? often they are printed without amounts because they don’t know what they will be yet.

Waterproof mascara is good for weddings when you think you will cry. Or if you’re going to be outside in the rain. Or if you wear contacts and use eyedrops a lot. Lots of good reasons for it.

i’m going to try to make it to the mediabistro party tomorrow, so i’ll keep my eye out for you!

Maybe the mattress will bring you luck. Anyway, a four year old mattress that served as the site of conception is way better than a ten year old lumpy oatmeal mattress (my dad was a mattress salesman when I was a kid…I know of what I speak!).
I’m pretty sure Boyfriend jeans are for people with no hips. Am I wrong? I didn’t even bother trying them on.

I thik I’ll take aboytfriend in tall and petit, you know, to have options

I would view receiving a mattress like that as good luck!

I can only wear waterproof mascara because by the end of the day, I get that raccoon eye look!

I just walked by the Gap at lunch and laughed out loud when I passed their signs for Boyfriend pants. Meanwhile, I ended up at Banana and bought a pair of shorts in their new “Ryan fit”. I have a very cute guy friend named Ryan, and I am now going to spend the rest of the day making jokes that I can finally get in his pants. Sorry, I know that was lame.

Waterproof mascara? Is there any better invention? Try living in the Netherlands where a bike is the way to transport yourself and rain is the default weather… I bought a non-waterproof mascara 4 years ago and I can only use it on vacation… So that’s an answer
