So I had a question. And the website had a convenient "email us and we'll get back to you" form following their FAQ! Excellent.
Email From: Carrie Message: Hello! I had my nose pierced in January at the now-closed body piercing shop at Woodfield Mall. I changed my jewelry for the first time in mid-April. Two weeks ago, the new jewelry fell out while I was sleeping and the hole closed up. I'd like to have this piercing redone; how long do I need to wait until I can? Thanks for your help. :-)
Their reply:
questions like this could be answered with a simple phone call. you need to wait 60 days, no swimming pools or jacuzzi for 4-6 months after piercing. thanks
...Folks, if you don't want questions from potential customers, don't put up a frickin "here, email us!" form. I'm thinking that I don't want these people poking needles through my face if answering a standard question over email is such a damn chore.
Commissioned: a butterfly, flower, and curlycues. I made this up freehand. Kids are way too wriggly, and unfit for fine lines. This was the best I could do.
You may feel somewhat confused as Mars enters expressive Leo, where he stays until July 1. Gone is the easy comfort you felt with Mars in watery Cancer. Now Mars wants real action -- and you may not be ready to handle the drama. Take it slow and don't let anyone push you onto the stage until you are truly ready to perform.

Ah, those bygone days cuddling with Mars in watery Cancer...
I actually like Tylenol's ads in Chicago's Ogilvie station. Examples: "If you're sick, take a sick day" and "Pass breakfast. You may go straight to headache."
Jason & I have been working hard on the backyard. Stubbly grass has started to come in where we ripped out the old stones. I have my onions and sugar snap peas planted, with the tomato, raspberry, and concord gravevine ready to go as soon as I find my hand shovel. I also have a lilac plant that I want to put near the back door.
Lilacs are my favorite flowering shrub. Especially in May. Hydrangeas are a close second because they're so pretty in the late fall when the blooms are all dried. But the smell of a lilac bush -- oh man, it's one of the loveliest things I know of in all of the natural world.
I've been thinking hard about what to do with the rest of the yard. There are shrubs planted in the back of the yard and an inexplicable little tree. I wanted to raze them in the winter and plant lilacs and hydrangeas instead, but 1) we didn't have time, 2) I thought it would probably be best to see what they looked like in the spring to see if that helped explain their height and ugliness.
I went out to look at the yard again yesterday, as I was planting things to get them in the ground for the rain that's passing through.
The tree's branches are covered with tiny purple buds. It's a lilac.
I'm sure there's a lesson to be learned here, but I will let you all do the moralizing for me as I'm not feeling well again today.
