Yesterday, starstraf sent me a link to a knitting book, Naughty Needles: Sexy, Saucy Knits for the Bedroom and Beyond. The name of the author rang a bell for me, so I googled her. Ah, yes. Nikol Lohr, the hot and funny creator of Disgruntled Housewife and Out of the Frying Pan. I corresponded with her for a brief time (ages ago, back when I still lived on Tennessee) and relinquished to her my faboo Naughty Nurse outfit (actual nurse duds leftover from my Candy Striper days)when I started to put on my thyroid weight. It was good to see she's doing so well.

It's a rough morning for me today. I'm dealing with nasty menstrual cramps (the kind where I can't sit up straight) and a general feeling of distrust and disappointment with the world (a variety of factors). The weather isn't helping. The one thing that got me out of bed this morning (late, at 7:30--I forgot to set my alarm) is curieuse's wedding. I can't wait to see her, beautiful and shining with hope and love. The sight will surely help shake me out of this malaise, at least for an hour or two.

I couldn't find a single hat this morning, so I had to come to work hatless (luckily I keep one at the office). Two wool berets and a kitty hat. You'd think I could have found one of them in my apartment this morning, but no.

This post is drowning in parentheticals. I should stop while I'm ahead (barely).

Iran, Iraq and LJ = OMGWTFBBQ

arian1, I stole your title. It was just too good.

I'd like to direct folks over to arian1's post here about yesterday's hot topic of U.S. vs Iran. Good information from someone with a closer connection (physical and emotional) than most of the rest of us.
