My favorite books as I got a little older (8 years old) were the Dorrie the Witch books. But most of them are out of print now and REALLY hard to find.

I came across a book in the attic the other day that I used to just love: The Meanest Squirrel I Ever Met, about a squirrel con-man.
Also found my old Fisher-Price abacus. Two of the bars are missing, though, so now it's base eight.

An Elfquest abacus!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I wish I could find a stuffed tiger that looks like Hobbes. My nephew looks a lot like Calvin. Maybe there's a pattern and I can make a Hobbes. Gah.
I'm totally sickeningly Auntie-fied.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Allyson, I love the Frances books and the David books. Emeline got 2 of the David's for Christmas.
And also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ITA!

Happy Birthday, ita!
I'm with Nilly and the Harold love. In fact, I loved that book so much, it's probably the first one I ever wrote in. It's still in my parent's house somewhere.

I purchased this luggage when I was home. It's making me very happy. And people at the airport kept complimenting me on it.

What is even happening?
Allyson, during nephew-fest, did you happen to catch on the news that Menino was trying to stop Southie people from saving their shoveled-out parking spaces?
(oh that is cute luggage)

YES!
My favorite part was an old woman putting a trash can in her shoveled out space and saying, "What does he care? He has a DRIVEWAY."
It's tradition. You shovel your space, put your trash can in it, and it's yours. Perhaps it would be easier for Menino to get it if everyone just put a fucking flag in their spot and claimed it for Spain.
