It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

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

DH has been having an insanely busy week. He is the creative director of the Mazda press events at the auto show. Bad is that he is working a 12-hour day today. Good is that Patrick Dempsey races for Mazda and was at the booth today. DH edged over close to him so I could overhear him chatting, just because he could.

This event has kept him busy for the last month, but it pays him about one-third of his income for the year. He also LOVES Mazdas, so he likes working with the designers and executives.

And now I'm earwormed with "Zoom ZOOM zoom! (Zoom zoom!)" I figured I'd share the joy.

Punishingly Intricate

So, I just made an appointment for Toto to get groomed before Thanksgiving.

Ooh thanks for the reminder. I need to see if I can get Frank in. I finally found a grooming place that I love. It seems to be fairly non-traumatic for him. And it's cheap and it's right around the corner from where I work and it's independently owned.

“Not dead yet!”

In the "I love my kids" category-- a girl was picking on Nate's best friend, who's a small, slender boy and Nate, being Nate, just looked at her and said, "Telling you to shut up would be a waste of time and energy so I'm just not even going to bother."

Said it stopped her in her tracks.

And am I a bad mommy for having laughed like a loon when he told me the story?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Barb, no, you're a good mommy - you've taught him to use his brain.

Barb, you should be a proud mommy.

Barb you should be very proud to have a son that not only stands up for his friends but one who is smart enough to do it with sarcasm.

Yep, and I've already filled out the extended application :)

eta: and in a bizarre coincidence, I just got an email from John about the transition. Cause Podesta and I are such buddies that he signs his emails John @@
