"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Happy birthday wishes, Plei1

I'm confused Kat, why is that sad?

Sad because it's always sad. The only kids I'm really connected to at this school are the seniors so when they go, I feel all disconnected. Happy for them (there were plenty of tears though), sad for me.

I did, however, get back in touch with my thesis advisor. She wants me to register for the fall so that I can finish my degree. Unfortunately I've lost interest in my previous project and I think I want to change and focus instead on ART and it's varying impact on families.

Me and my talk of assisted reproductive technologies killed the thread.

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

Kat, I thought you meant art and were capitalizing it for emphasis. Oops! That makes much more sense.

Because books.

Kat, I thought you meant art and were capitalizing it for emphasis.

Yeah, I did not get that either! The new topic makes a lot more sense.

This weekend will be: rain, more rain, writing, freelance work, and probably not a lot else.

Punishingly Intricate

Also, if you want to try whole wheat pasta, the TJ's brand is by far the best I've tried.

Oh yeah! I just finished a big bowl of it (w/ sauteed zucchini, grape tomatoes, pinenuts, tarragon, some white wine, bluecheese, parm, & pancetta! YUM!)

Weekend: tonight boyfriend meeting me down at work for dinner at a restaurant I love and then maybe fancy drink at bar we love. Saturday...not sure. I have to get a new bra though so I should probably go to the mall. Then babysitting twins in the evening. Sunday yoga then working. How much working I don't know because my boss won't make a decision about something. He means well but it's super irritating to me right now and I can't figure out how to tell him politely to PLEASE DECIDE so I can know how my day will go Sunday.

msbelle--there was an interview on NPR this morning between a man and his adopted son which made me think of you. [link]

He is a single dad and the kid had been bounced around a lot of foster care. Definitely had some of the same issues you are dealing with.

yeah, a lot of that sounds familiar.

My plan to take next week off has been twarted. boss' trip was moved another week. I guess one more week won't make that much of a difference.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Yikes!

A hawk flew into a restaurant and landed on a guy's plate!!!

Hawks like jerk chicken, it seems.
