See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I would totally buy Allyson's party-planning book.

Happy birthday, Ginger!

Dylan had no costume - we bought him a totally adorable spider-hat, but DH slept in and forgot to put it on him before daycare. So instead he wore a spare costume provided by the daycare center, which was also totally cute and very sweet of them. We did not go trick-or-treating. We'll go next year when he's old enough to (a) walk and (b) eat candy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

One thing I definitely miss about my old job was that the daycare kids would come trick-or-treating to the offices, and they were so cute! Maybe not as cute as Buffista kids, but pretty darn cute.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Just got back from Chipotle. Lots of people with pieces of tin foil wrapped around their heads. If I were a Chipotle manager, I would totally bounce them.

My boss, who is notoriously cheap, went to Chipotle wrapped up in a tan-ish blanket (tortilla) over a green-ish blanket (guac)....and then, for good measure, taped sign on his chest saying "I am a burrito."

No, really. He got his free burrito.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Happy Birthday Ginger!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Babysat last night.

She's six weeks old and her parents went to a concert.

The baby was great, the dog was sure I was not on the job. Once I had the audacity to put her in her bassinette and go pee. I left the door cracked so I could hear her. Pickle (he's a daschund) came RUSHING in all "What are you DOING?!?!?" then when she actually made noise he tried flinging himself into my lap in an desperate timmy-is-down-the-wellish effort to communicate that THE BABY IS UPSET!!!!!!!

Trix (sonogram said boy, we bought a bunch of blue stuff, two weeks later we had to all buy pink stuff, hence nicknamed "Trixy") was very chill and only fussed once or twice. She drank four ounces like it was her job (very earnest look on her tiny face). Before the feeding she kept eyeing my boob and bumping her head against it. It was hysterical and I took the hint.

Jacob on slutty costumes:

Halloween is about two things: hooking up and getting drunk. You don't want your costume to inhibit either of these activities, either by being cumbersome or by being needlessly grostesque. The best slutty costumes combine ease of movement with total sluttiness, allowing both. That's generally why I stick to bunny ears.

However, this year I tried -- with varying levels of success, although I guess we'll see for sure tonight -- to get the boyz on board. I want to start a movement for men of all shapes and sizes to get slutty on Halloween.
