Dangit. I knew going to bed at 10 would mean an early morning.
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Go, Matilda, with the cuteness and the syntax!

Now tagless for your comfort.
"I love you" is just such a HUGE emotional payoff with kids. I'm trying to remember that when both mine were up before 6 a.m.
This morning I had to read an email from a cousin calling Obama a "pseudo-intellectual Muslim." Hell hath no wrath like I do when I have to respond to the Stupid before my coffee.
I doubt I'll be welcome at the next family reunion.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
DAMN, if the rest of SNL was as good as that opening skit, I'd start watching again. That was note-perfect, and worked on so many levels.
I hope Hillary watches it and laughs until she cries.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
if the rest of SNL was as good as that opening skit,
Yeah, not so much.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
she said "I love you," she ate and loved broccoli tonight, and now she's dancing around the living room to Joan Jett. She posits that a toddler could not be any better even if she were dipped in platinum.
I agree with JZ!
Dylan is many months away from sentences, but has been adding words to his vocabulary at a pretty alarming rate. He doesn't use all of them consistantly or meaningfully yet, but his repetition skills are MAD, yo. (Except for the letter R, which he can't do at all. So his Auntie 'Rina is "Mina!" and the Roomba is "Moomba!" When you're 15 months old, everything has exclamation points!)

And in political news, a college friend of mine has as his current Facebook status:
has astronaut experience because he can see the moon from his house?
LOVE.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Except for the letter R, which he can't do at all.
He and the rest of the Israelis. We really don't pronounce R's, at least not the way others pronounce it, but there's a way to pronounce it with the tongue, mostly in singing.
Foreigners and people that (who?) doesn't know Israeli names usually needs me to spell my name to get it right, or else it sounds like "she".
When you're 15 months old, everything has exclamation points!
Very exciting!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Supposed to be hot today. Oh, joy.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
But it's odd and cute the way she says it. Like she's pronouncing it phonetically, and Latvian is her first tongue.
Matilda has killed me ded with cuteness.
