Cute twins!

That couple is exhausting.

That couple is exhausting.

I want to sock them in their crotches.

I came across this blog, and I think I disagree with him, but I find it super hard to read and comprehend. I can't tell if it is poorly written or if my brain does not get it, or I am just so turned off by his contempt [link]

did you see the video with rules?

look through the newsstand for the other magazine in which Sandberg is prominently featured: Cosmo.

The point at which the writer neglected to include the correct name of the magazine (hint: It's not Cosmopolitan either) I felt I could neglect finishing reading.

BUT WHY???

• We will see each other every day for forty days.
• We will go on at least three dates a week.
• We will see a couples therapist once a week.
• We will go on one weekend trip together.
• We will fill out the daily questionnaire and document everything.
• We will not see, date, hookup, or have sex with anyone else.

OH, PERFORMANCE ART.

We will not see, date, hookup, or have sex with anyone else.

I know I've been out of the game a long time, but isn't hooking up and having sex the same thing?

In my day, hooking up could be "everything but." It could also be having sex.

Nah, hooking up can encompass a range of activities. Depending on who you're talking to. Often might just mean making out, or activities that Bill Clinton doesn't consider sex.

Random note on remembering my trip to the Hallmark store: there are way too many cards with sound that are country songs. We don't even have a country station here full-time. How is there a market for that where I live?

ION, I requested the assistance of volunteers from a group called Cando (Can Do) who specialize in working with special needs populations to help me with my weekly special needs volunteers. It was AWESOME. The weekly volunteers suddenly had one on one supervision and socializing. The Cando kids had fun, the volunteers were animated and also on task, and the volunteer staff that came with were relieved to be able to step back and flit between individuals and not have to worry about anyone being left alone. We were able to tackle tasks that I ordinarily wouldn't trust them with due to supervision constraints.

At the end, the volunteer supervisors were smiling, the weekly volunteers were demanding that they come back every week, and the volunteer staff jumped out of the van to give them all a very thankful handshake.

This isn't even something they're interested in for their careers (working with SN pops) but that they need volunteer hours, and this is how they decided to spend it.

I'll be sad to see them have to go back to school. But as an experiment, it was phenomenal.
