This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I have a nephew a couple years younger than Emmett who I'm sure is really upset about it. They were at the game when he broke the record.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The laundry basket chasing the ball was hilarious.

The walking luggage was freaky but very cool.

I'm caught up with Natter for the first time in weeks!

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

Hi Aurelia!

Hey, Lee!

I offer Trunk Monkey for your Friday viewing pleasure. (For everyone, not just Lee)

A few more here.

This morning I'm totally Gronkified. It's not even amusing. More and more it looks like I should increase my dose of Celexa back to where it was...

Art Crawl!!!

I always think about meeting you for the first time. Which was you spotting us in the street in Chicago and saying, "Are you Buffistas?"

I think about that and wonder how I knew. . . I mean, you guys could have been random streets of Chicago axe-murderers.

Luckily you were Buffistas.

My friend M sent me a package that was on my doorstep when I got home. Isn't that perfect?

It was a tin of what is surely delicious hot cocoa (the tin is adorable) and a signed copy of Tim Gunn's book!!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am plotting "early dismissal" for my few coworkers who are here today -- but only if I can confirm that our boss and her boss will be on a plane at that time.... Nice that it's not even 10 am and all I can think about is when I can leave!

Theo, I hope if your gronk is chemical, you can get that straightened out.

Wow, I just talked to a really perky t-mobile customer service person. She was helpful, although the fact that she said, "We should have that to you by Tuesday, but if we don't, make sure we refund that shipping for you!" makes me think I won't actually have the damn phone by Tuesday. I neeeeed it!

Also, where is everyone and why are you not entertaining me?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm here! I'm procrastinating! How would you like me to entertain you?
