I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Are you sure that's a better plan than yours?

OK, I wouldn't do that, but it sounds go get-up-and-go-ish! And healthy! And whatever. Me, I'll be on the couch watching the VH1 Countdown.

I've replaced doorknobs all by my lonesome, they're actually pretty easy. But Kathy might do just as well with some duct tape applied so that the latchy-part is held back permanently which would render the possibility of accidental locking moot.

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

Shrift, Brenda, are we doing the dinner thing? Where?

I'm fucking Matt Damon.

If it weren't for students of mine of Facebook I would put this in my status bar.

Who is the minor celeb on the IE video?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Maybe I could pass for early 30's, but that's not too young to have a child Annabel's age by any standard.

That does seem a bit odd. I mean, even women in their mid 20s with nursery school age kids aren't all that unusual.

I believe it was Rich Sommer from Mad Men, apparently just randomly in GCT. (If I'm wrong, I'll be embarassed!)

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Yeah, I just discovered on Facebook that college friends of mine, a couple that dated all four years and got married a year or so after graduation, have four kids with a fifth on the way. They're fairly conservative religiously, so I had a moment of wondering if they were QuiverFull types, then I realized that they'd been married 15 years or so, so if they'd been breeding nonstop since their wedding, their family would be taking on Duggar proportions by now. And then I just felt old, because I remember that wedding like it was yesterday.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Are you sure that's a better plan than yours?

YES! That sounds fun, if not a little cold. What am I doing tomorrow? snot sucking a reluctant baby and making soup. I can't believe two years ago I had a grown up life with real things to do that included travel and going out and exercise. I'm sure my life will get there again. But it just hasn't yet.

Ann, that's a ferret.

If you marry right out of high school and start having kids right away, you'll have a school-age child by the time you're 25.

Not unusual where I grew up.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Who is the minor celeb on the IE video?

I believe it was Rich Sommer from Mad Men, apparently just randomly in GCT. (If I'm wrong, I'll be embarassed!)

It was, though I have no doubt that he was in on the stunt, even if he was supposed to appear as random.
