You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Half an hour for an entry level position? Plenty long enough. The only things you need to know are: Can I get along with you? Are they smart enough to pick things up quickly?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's the first sentence of the syllabus and I can't get it quite right.

Thank you! That's exactly what I was thinking, too.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

In adopting-but-not-a-child news, our new standard poodle arrives tomorrow. He is 2 and has lived with a crazy dog hoarder all his life. She is 86 and had a mild stroke and the animal rescue people are working with her daughter to place all her dogs while she is in the hospital, so when she gets home she will just have one or two. We met him at the dog adoption fair (where we went just to "look" Ha!) and he has been over and met our dog and cats and all seemed pretty cool. I am excited and worried and hope all goes well. I am trying to get in touch with my inner Cesar Milan, in case she needs a lot of training.

Oh, I'm happy for friends who start trying and get pregnant with little drama or worry. AFTER my initial reaction of split-second crankitude.

And as long as people don't go all self-righteous about their glorious birth experiences, and how if you were only doing it right, you too could have an unattended waterbirth while whales sang to you, I'm thrilled when people have trouble-free pregnancies and the birth they wanted.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

In this course, you will learn...?

This is the second time I've accidentally kicked the help desk phone line out of the splitter under my desk. My feet are passive-aggressive!

Ugh, please don't.

But yay for new doggies!
