Yes Sophia, she was at Jilli's signing last night.
I of course feel like a dork because I woke up today with the perfect question to ask Jilli, which officially makes me a day late if not a dollar short.
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Question for people with more experience with five-year-olds than I have: If you give a five-year-old a coloring book and some crayons, and a jigsaw puzzle and maybe one or two other quiet things that can be done at a table, is it reasonable to expect the kid to be able to sit quietly and entertain herself for 20 minutes or so, or is that too young?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would say yes, but it depends on the five year old. I mean, they have desks in school at that age, right?
That Jilli clip is hilarious.

Not too young at all Hil. My daughter would happily draw and read books for an hour or so. But make sure it's something that the 5yo really likes to do. For my daughter I'd bring drawing supplies, for my son I'd bring books and legos.

Wayching last night's Harper's Ferry, and Trish is the dumbest person to ever hold a gun, but I'm still enjoying it.

Because books.
Twenty minutes sounds really reasonable, Hil.
-t, you're so right. Also, Cal and Chloe! Aw. That was a bummer.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Jeez, police found Billy Mays dead in his home.
I didn't really like him and his irritating ads, but people seriously need to stop dying.

Jeez.
Edit: I didn't realize I was copying you, Dana! That is apparently the only reaction.

It's an epidemic.
Esp. since I think my friend's father may have died. There was an urgent message on her Facebook page from her SiL for her to get in touch. Now her status update says she's off to Cape Cod, where her dad lives. Of course she's been called to his side for his imminent death several times in the past year and he's survived so far, but who knows.
