go brenda

I am feeling vaguely whiny now. want to take a nap . want DH to say yay me for finishing the wall ( he did) , I want presents for doing laundry while painting, and want to pretend the tub drain isn't slow.and I really don't want to go to work.

but other people have bigger problems. Including Dh - who had a machine die that he has being warning his co about for years. he could use some ressurection ma~~~ . or save all the data ma anyway.

really I wanted it all to be about me today .

I kinda wish my exposure to sexual knowledge had been so matter-of-factly handed down by authority figures, rather than having to be picked up on the sly from the internets.

I already know there's no possible way I can be as matter-of-fact with the Halloweenie as her brother's mom is with him, but a plan is in place. I have made a mutual pact with the mother of my 3-year-old goddaughter (or, almost 3 -- I don't remember the actual date, but I know it was the night that "Conversations With Dead People" aired) that we will act as each other's daughter's cool aunties, the hip big-city writer retro-chick (me)/Euro-chic former model law professor (her) who is way more truthful and trustworthy and sexy than Mom, who can be blunt and bold and will make sure she knows her way around the contraceptive aisle at Walgreen's. Neither one of us can handle even thinking about all those discussions with our own daughters, but each other's? No problem!

lisah, that haircut just maximizes your cuteness by an order of magnitude. And you were already pretty freakin' cute.

I love Emmet's sexual conversation SO MUCH.

I was impressed that he corrected Aidan on the proper terms.

My parents gave me Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (but were afraid to ask) when I was 9.

JZ has scored a Nick Swisher autograph on Emmett's glove! It even says, "To Emmett - best wishes"!

am blushing! thanks you guys. I needed to hear nice things today. I had to take my friends' dog who I am dogsitting while they are in England to the vet today. And they've admitted her so when they get off the plane tomorrow I get to tell them their beloved pet is in the hospital. She has kidney disease and it looks like it's getting worse. She hasn't been able to keep anything down for the last few days. Please to send the good dog-ma to baltimore. She is an beautiful and special dog.

Oh, dear, what a soulful-eyed sweetie.

I feel funny commenting on this in the same post as a dog picture comment, but I must agree with everyone else that you + new haircut + hosen = simultaneously HOTT and DED OF TEH CUTE.

Many cute aminals in that flickr set. Love the donut!

I have an 8:00 meeting tomorrow. Fie!

Good luck, brenda!

Just got home from the grocery store. I realized, as my groceries were going over the scanner, that I bought mostly junk. This is why I usually make a list. Appalled, I finally looked at the cashier and said, "Did I buy anything healthy?"

"Sure you did! There was the popcorn and the chips and the ice cream and the cookies and the corndogs. Oh! And look! There's fruit coming up!"

I think it's time to reconsider Weight Watchers.
