I remember having a tough time with that, too... But otherwise, I did think it was a very good book. The foot binding was terrible, though.

NYC is under a tornado watch, hopefully it doesn't turn into a warning/actual tornado touching down.

My cramps should be here any day now, just in time for our drive!!

I just made 6 dozen cookies so I'd be happy to share with anyone if it helps them feel better. I couldn't bare to throw out the ingredients just because we're moving and thought it would help bribe the movers. Be good for us to snack on too.

Oatmeal chocolate chip pecan.

Just saying what I think huh?!?!?

That is all it took for us to be good again?

I feel like a billion ton weight has been lifted from my shoulders!!!

I've cleaned, organized, and even am wearing makeup!!! I seriously don't remember feeling this good in a long time.

I knew about it, and thought it was barbaric, but this book really took the horror of it to a new level. A foot as big a the length of the thumb being the ideal, the cruelty as soon as it's done, the rejoicing when the bones have broken, the idea that the toes are supposed to touch the heel, and then the disgusting fetishizing of bound feet and how it apparently turned men on. Ugh, nightmarish!

It just a royal pain, the test themselves are supposed to be 2-2.5 hours long, plus all the dr. office waiting time. So the first appointment was scheduled while I was on vacation, the 2nd I requested the day off then moved it when the appointment changed. Now they call me the day before the appointment, when I've requested the time off for it. So I'm taking the day anyway. I have no idea when I'll be rescheduled for. Blargh.

Okay enough complaining! WOOOO I get a day off tomorrow!

Realising you have saved enough to pay your grad school tuition? Priceless!
Realising you still don't know where the other half is coming from? Reality.
