So here's the idiotic money-waster for today: At 3 am or so, as I was searching iVillage for some info on how to make your pussy stop hurting after having a baby so you can have some of the sex, I came across a pop-up ad: "Take Our All New In-Depth IQ Test!" Now, we already discussed how I'm a total masochist when it comes to things that purport to reveal little known secrets about the REAL me, so I happily took the "free" test. It said I had an IQ of 143 (the highest score you could get and still be considered "highly intelligent" or something like that, which of course led me to consider re-taking the darn thing, until I realized I'd surely do worse next time) and that I could order my DETAILED REPORT, outlining ALL of my personal strengths and weaknesses, with NEAT BAR GRAPHS, for the low low price of just $9.95!!! I thought maybe I'd come back and do the whole thing again later, especially since I was deliriously tired and probably didn't do my best. Then I thought, that is SO COOL, I want to see mine!! But John will be so mad at me!! For spending $10 on this crap!! But wait!! At least it's not porn!! YEAH!! You can see my results here. I don't know how long they'll be available before I have to pay another ten bucks, so you'd better go check them out. I was really surprised, as I thought I had GOOD intuition and POOR spatial skills. Maybe they gave me the wrong profile...

In other news: Also spent money on a couple of really cute and super cool Cabbage Patch Kids storybooks at this new dollar store. I can't link to them because I can't find them anywhere online, but they are SO COOL. For any Cabbie-oriented folk who might be reading this, they have photos of Kids from the Coleco Designer and Transitional lines all the way thru the first or second edition Mattel kids. The back covers say there are two more books in the series - I think I may have found my latest quest...

Oh, and I got the orange sweatpants and blue shoes I needed to go with Tristan's Old Navy shirt that has the planets on it, and GLOWS IN THE DARK, which I did not know! Fuck Yeah! My kid's a space cadet!! WOO!
