Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

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

Had an odd conversation with my officemate today. He was totally stunned when I said that catcalling is something that happens on a fairly regular basis, and that it happens to teenagers. He replied, "You mean, there are guys out there who will just shout stuff like that to a 16-year-old girl?" I replied that the first time I remember it happening to me was when I was 12, or maybe 11. Do some guys just not notice this stuff? I've had similar conversations with guys before.

I totally skimmed the part where you said you left the chilis out. I may have to make those next week.

I showed Pete your Save the Date cards, and he thinks they look very nice.

Oh, my parents have taken up your (and Drew's) habit of taunting me from Disneyland. The parents got there today, and Mom has been merrily sending me photos with her iPhone.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I do indeed just not notice this stuff, or probably more accurately, it's a lot less likely to happen around me. (I certainly believe it happens, and may I add, ew.)

The status is NOT quo.

I don't taunt! I reach out with love to say that the HM is missing you! (And that I miss being in the Haunted Mansion with you, truth be told.)

...When are you coming to visit again? MISS YOU.

The line, "I've got magic, alakazzam a kazoom" is stuck in my head. I have no idea what it's from. Some TV show? Anybody know, and can link me to the rest of the song? Please? This is driving me nuts.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Congratulations, Gris! (Also, from everything you've said in the past about this woman and this relationship, I am totally unsurprised. Delighted, but unsurprised. It's seemed like exactly where you were both headed for a while.)

Earlier today Matilda was all about being Raven (apparently I'm supposed to be Starfire), but we went to a local shop a little while ago and she was overjoyed to get a purple flower fairy outfit. And put it on as soon as we got home (she had to be dissuaded from putting it on in the middle of the bookstore, where they were trying to set up for an author reading/signing). Now our couch is covered with fairy skirt glitter.

Other recent Matilda stuff: She's been refusing to do any number of big-girl things (zipping her PJs, pulling up her diaper, using utensils) with the sorrowful excuse, "I can't do it. I'm a kitty. I got kitty paws." Last night we went out to Kezar to throw around the Nerf football, and she wanted me to throw the football. I said sorrowfully, "I can't do it. I'm a puppy. I got puppy paws."

"Oh, Mommy, you can do it," she said. "You got puppy hands ."

She's also started pep-talking me with "You can do it! You're a mommy!"
