Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
A kid I used to babysit is some sort of assistant coach or trainer or something for Rutgers football. (I didn't babysit him as a baby, though -- his family moved in down the street from mine when he was in kindergarten and I was in sixth grade.)

Yeah, a kid I used to babysit for when she was an infant had a baby a month ago. I'm old.

Erin and Aurelia, I hope your friends and family are safe.
I've been on hold with the post office (need to make an appt to get the kids' passports!) for 20 minutes now. Bail and call back, or keep holding? This is the first time I've even gotten this far - someone DID pick up the phone and put me on hold vs ringing endlessly before hanging up automatically.
[Bailed, called back, got called a liar for claiming I'd been on hold for half an hour. Decided to take my chances at the county clerk's office instead (they don't take appointments).]

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Thank you, Jessica. I'm going on the premise that no news is good news. I'm hoping that my mom will check in with the family in that part of the state and let me know tonight. Based on the weather reports I watched last night I'm really only worried about the cousin in Aurora and the cousin who could have been traveling between Joplin and Fayetteville.

In other good news, Aeryn does NOT have pinkeye! (She slept through the night last night and woke up with gunky eyes so DH took her to the doctor. Apparently she just has backed-up tear ducts which is a thing that happens at this age. Which means SHE SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT ON HER OWN OMG.)

Woo hoo for Aeryn and for you and Ethan.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hi guys! Thank goodness for the internet, because we wouldn't have known if the rapture had actually happened or not on Saturday, due to being in Sin City....
I am SO GLAD I took today off work.

Because books.
I can't believe the devastation in Joplin.
Which means SHE SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT ON HER OWN OMG.
Oh, that's a happy night for all involved.
