Annabel is taking a nap now. Poor kid. She looks younger when she's asleep. Like most of the time she's a toddler, but when she sleeps she's a baby still.
It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Jen and the schmoop! I love it.
So doomed. In such a good way.

Robin -- that's great. Is there some planned training routine or certificate program to get a dog to be a therapy dog?

I can't get the dorky smile off my face. It's a perma-grin.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Aw, yay for Jen.
I still have perma-grin too.
I need a Teacup Guy update.

Trust my rage
This afternoon, I was supposed to go to this garden luncheon to "welcome new residents." I wasn't really excited about going but decided to go because a) my one neighbor my age was going and b) one of the women I know fairly well was planning it.
So I get there and my neighbor, L, says to me "Remember when you were asking about the purpose of this luncheon? Well, there was a purpose - look at the decorations." I look and hanging everywhere was all these beautiful little pink baby girl clothes. And about 50 women, all of whom are my neighbors, but many whom I didn't really even know.
I actually started to cry - it was a combination of surprise and feeling like "how could these people who don't even know me be so *nice* to me." I didn't even know what to say at first because I was so shocked.
So, we had wonderful food and desserts and I got to meet tons of neighbors I didn't know previously. Also, most of the neighbors I do know were there. Many people who I don't know and couldn't be there also sent gifts. [Like, over 10 in that category alone.] The baby's room is now literally overflowing with gifts. I actually think I got more clothes than she will ever be able to wear.
It really surprised me how much it meant to me. I am new here and only know a handful of people. I've gotten sort of used to living alone the last few years. I just couldn't believe that so many people would spend their time and money on me. It meant a lot
