I wish Jilli lived closer so she could be Good Aunty for Noah and Grace.

Oh, I would LOVE that. I would read to them, and teach them what noises friendly monsters make, and and and ...

I get a fuckload of joy out of other peoples' kids. Even when I've been the primary temporarily and they are doing shit like bloody headwounds and ADHD meltdowns that require full-body smackdowns.

I get huge huge amounts of joy from my friends' kidlings. I am always excited when/if friends announce they're expecting, because that means NEW babies to play with -- and then give back. I never wanted to have children of my own, ever, but I love my extended family of nieces and nephews.

(I played with dolls when I was little, but I preferred stuffed animals because they didn't need "looking after" like baby dolls, but instead could help me plot to go find a magic castle, take it over, and then rule the land. )

The status is NOT quo.

Oh, cupcakes. I love you so.

I tried out Yummy Cupcakes in Burbank last month and was very impressed. Their banana cream pie cupcake was to die for.

Oh, Stephen Colbert, you are adorable. Like a giddy child talking with the astronaut, who is charming. It's awesome.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Hooray! My wireless is now working!

Yummy is my fave of the cupcake places I've tried, though their service sucks. (My Little Cupcake is meh. Leda's is good but overpriced). I hear there is a place in Silverlake, but I've never been.

Yay wireless, Allyson! Are you actually going to the vintage dress thing?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

He looks so much like you, Kat.

Are there any good cupcake places down Santa Monica way? I know there are Beverly Hills places, but I never end up that direction.

Of course I should probably wait the week and a half before asking that. I'm sure the doctor won't keep me off wheat much longer.
