Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think it's Italian, not Spanish, so pan-zan-el-la.

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

Yep. Ella. For extra Italian cred, the "z" is like "pizza" rather than "zounds".

And he has a kid whose ages are close to my kids' ages.

I want him to be here because then maybe we'd see you (and your parents!) more.

Hah! That's exactly what I told him about a west coast thing- I'd see him every TG no matter what when I'd visit my friends! (eta: it'd mean me getting to get more peoples in less travels which is a big thing for me. OTOH, you'd get my brother!)

If he ended up here, I think my parent might take a detour to the east coast for a bit. It is post-doc-ing, however. Not permanent.

In any case, wherever he lands, his biggest concern is school districts for D. He starts kinder this year.

Um, so despite the fact it is 11:30 at night, I have no kids, T-the neighborgirl brought me flowers in a pot. To wish me a happy mother's day.

I think I'm gonna go cry now.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

That's so sweet!

Punishingly Intricate

If you come visit, I'll help you!

As if I needed more incentive!

aww that's so sweet, sarameg! The lady at the CVS said "Happy Mother's Day" to me and I was okay with that. Usually that kind of thing would Bring Up Issues for me.

Practically my only moment of yoga triumph to date.

It's a good one! My yoga triumphs have been being able to do headstand and full wheel and I just recently have been able to do full wheel without first propping myself up on my head and then pushing up. I can just push up into it now.

addidas yoga shoes

what are these?! Am intrigued!

Isn't it pan-za-nel-la?
