And yet, whatever the neighbors are cooking (something cheesy) smells so good, I can't take it. I'm full of gumbo! And pie!
Ooh, were you at Tupelo?
Also, Season 2 of Leverage is also on Netflix streaming!
OK, gotta board a plane now.

But yeah. I'm massively awkward upon first (and second, and third) meetings. A lot of the time I feel like I'm imitating proper human behavior rather than actually doing what I'm doing because it feels right to me.
Oh, I know how you feel. It takes me a long time to be myself around people.

Safe travels, Nora!
Ari Shapiro is wicked smart, from a wicked smart family. I'd love to be at a cocktail party with him, Dalhia Lithwick and Gail Collins.
Happy birthday GC!

When I have had the click, it's kind of blown my mind, because I'm used to getting to know people slowly.
I have to say, most of my longest lasting relationships have happened with people who I didn't really like on first impression, or who didn't really like me. I think I have anti-chemistry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, were you at Tupelo?
Of course I was, Nora! Have a safe flight, and successful trip!!!

Ari Shapiro isn't only cute & smart, he actually guest-sang on the most recent Pink Martini record. Being as he has been friends with the band principals since college.
So far I'm doing a good job at not freaking out too much about today... I'm going for an all-day "tryout" faux-project at a website company.

Whoa. Matilda jumped from not even in the top 1,000 when our Matilda was born to #368 now.
Name cycles are weird and fascinating.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
massive amounts of goodness vibing to Theo.
I had more to comment on, but now I can't remember, I need more coffee.
Today's the last day my boss is out, am sad.
I think mac is having a hard time with Mother's Day this year and both his therapist and I think he is about to confront some scars from his past that we are expecting to be big and painful. I am kinda collapsing under the expectation, I know I need to be ready and non-emotional and supportive whenever he breaks through this - that is leading to me crying a lot of the time I am away from him. ugh.
