A Palo Alto visit would be wonderful -- your friend and her babies, and the university campus, and also there's the lovely drive from Palo Alto to San Francisco, along a quiet highway that cuts through misty heavily-forested canyons that look like something out of LoTR in miniature. Every time I drive that way I think, "This is so cool and fairy-tale-looking! Why didn't we drive Nilly this way when she was here?"
Your way of driving to Palo Alto clearly is not my way.

I love that drive! If it's the one I'm thinking of. I drove it with my mom once when she was visiting me out there and I hit a chipmunk. My mom taunted me about being a woodland creature killer for years afterwards.

101 = Evil.
280 = LoTR in miniature, with lots of turnoffs to get to picnic areas and reservoirs and who even knows what at all. I keep meaning to take an entire weekend day to drive down lazily and explore. It's sometimes slow and crowded, but still better than 101 because at least the scenery while you're stuck in traffic is so pretty, whereas 101 is always slow and crowded and ugly to boot.
Remember that conversation we had about the American Girl "Historic" doll from 1974?
I mean, there were books but no doll?
Guess what - there is a doll.
Male chastity belt. Very pretty, NSM with the worksafeness.
Oh tommyrot, I meant to express my concern for your mother earlier as well. I'm glad they caught the cancer early and wish her a swift recovery.
Ok, now I NEED the Julie doll. I had wanted a Kit for years and years. Now, I need Julie.

Is Kit the 1930s doll? I love her! I loved her bedroom stuff -- so fun.
But Julie's stuff is alot of fun too.
Even though I am actually OLDER than she is.
I liked the best friend doll too.

Yup.
Em has a Bitty Baby. For her 5th birthday, I'm getting her a "Just Like Me" doll.
Slowest day ever. Y/N?
Yes to the power of Oh My God.
I've been productive all day, but it's barely 1:30 and I have nothing left to do. I already did all my end-of-month stuff this morning.
There is only so much work I can pretend to do.
