It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Happy birthday, Aurelia!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Is D. in a 4 now, Jessica? I have a Lands End squall parka in a 4T I could send you.

Ooh, that would be fab. But I can also hit the consignment shops this weekend.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Gud! I was just thinking of Leif the other day, when the video of the toddler who kept climbing out of his crib and then went for the camera that was recording it. I thought, "They're going to have to bungee-cord a baby gate over that crib."

I am full of gronk, because after the baseball game, I went to bed, and, as usual, started to read a chapter or so to get to sleep. However, the book I was reading was by a certain Buffista who just got a review in the Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books. It's her fault I was up until 3.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Happy birthday, aurelia!

I'm not Catholic anymore, so I hope it's okay that I keep responding to "May the Force be with you" with "and also with you". Because I don't think I can stop.

Good luck with work, Gud, and with handling your super smart kids (my older brother and I were in sort of the same situation with me skipping a grade and it caused some friction but not too much, I think. We ended up going to different middle and high schools, which helped).

That sounds crazy dramatic, Sue. Good for you being undercaffeinated, i guess?

Because books.

I'm sorry, Ginger! Except I'm not because it didn't put you to sleep. Hee.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I keep responding to "May the Force be with you" with "and also with you".

It's not okay... it's AWESOME.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I hope it's okay that I keep responding to "May the Force be with you" with "and also with you"

I've never been Catholic, and I do this EVERY TIME. The best part is that I actually have opportunities to do so.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So what's a good response to "Live long and prosper"?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Cowboy hat. ijs.

The cowboy hat did not move to Boston, sadly (?).

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU ANYMORE.
