Also, holy shit! Noah used to be CRAZY CUTE: [link] He was all eyes and belly.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

The status is NOT quo.
Guess what! I found a really well reviewed yet totally affordable (77 euros/night with breakfast included) hotel in the heart of Barcelona: [link]
So I made a reservation and under notes explained I was an English-speaking woman traveling alone and would love a quiet upper floor room and some help getting to know the city. I got a personal email from the manager (in very good English) two hours later welcoming me, assuring me I'd have a quiet, upper-floor room, and saying that they would all be happy to tell me all about the city. I think I chose well! I'm starting to get excited. I'll only have two nights, but I'm going to make the best of it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think you shouldn't have a vacation if you can't be bothered to make it different from the others. It's like you don't respect it. Give it its own food, dammit. It can't all be about how amazing America is. Variety variety variety.
I like this better.

I like that one too, ita. Those lips! I'm also very partial to this one: [link]
He's not as cute as he used to be. There's something about the big helpless panda eyes.
I mean, I still love him. But when I look at the baby pictures, at least the ones where he isn't all shriveled up and old man under the grow lamps, I am shocked at how adorable he was.
It's weird because Grace by far is 100 times cuter now. She's just getting her cuteness on.
I wonder if it's because she's pre-verbal?

That's a pretty textbook cupid's bow, and he's working some excellent doe eyes at the same time.
I still think he's pretty cute now. But I find myself staring at random strange babies thinking "Thank god you're cute, man." And then feeling guilty.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I would say Noah is still crazy cute, as is Grace.
We had a good day. Went to the pool. Yay!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm starting to get excited. I'll only have two nights, but I'm going to make the best of it.
Yay, Pix! Glad you found a nice place. Let me know if you want any suggestions/tips.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Give it its own food, dammit.
Memorial Day is supposed to be iffy coffee, Cinnabons and then later frozen lemonade and something potentially sketchy off of the grill. All accompanied by the smell of burning tires and fuel. Race weekends at the track, I love them.
But I find myself staring at random strange babies thinking "Thank god you're cute, man." And then feeling guilty.
I've said this to kids I know. Then felt some guilt but it doesn't make it less true.

I'm with ita. Then take me for a weekend someplace nice.
