I didn't mean for it to be, but I'm open-minded on pronunciation.

I'm not sure how your intent would have made me feel more dumb for not figuring it out, but knowing you didn't mean it makes me feel a lot better.

And, uh, I have no idea why it just occurred to me now, but hey!

I just changed Colin's contact picture on my phone to his son. I'm way behind with the family, haven't met the kid, not even sure if the most recent name I heard is still his name, but Colin's face is out and NewFerg is in. Well, it was either those cutie pie cheeks or these [link] (I'm just kidding--it was never going to be those. But look at this [link] They should line all the doppels up...)

le n, it didn't make me happy but it made everything not-worse. Small wordless creature that gets concerned when I crumple down and make weird gaspy noises, and trusts me enough to put its face up to mine and snuffle at me? Makes the world a lot less unbearable.

This was the bunny in question. He was about twice that size by the time he snuffled up my tears. He was such a big ol' boo.

I'm finding the penis analyzer too amusing. It could be used as an aid for actors in developing character [link] !

Minus T. Minus T. I don't know what y'all are freaking out about.

But I want to see NewFerg and know his actual name.

OMG, his penis pretty much is [link]

I don't even know why the unveiling is taking so long! I mean, the name decision is important and should take as long as it takes, but it's not like knowing that makes me patient or mature. I have grabby hands.

Did you notice the design tab?

I had a bunny, but we had a yard then. He was lop-eared and his ears flopped when he ran. I miss having a dog, but we're not ready yet.

So, no phone call or email yet from the school where I applied. Now I have to wait until Monday?? Boo. (I'm trying to reassure myself that sometimes things take longer than you think they will, and just because I haven't heard anything doesn't mean I didn't get the job. Right?)

Aw, Erika. I want you to have a new dog but I get it. For me it was 18 months after Lucy before I could open to another.

[I have a friend who lost her dog about when I lost Lucy, and got a puppy the next day. For her that was right. For me it wouldn't have been. ]

Kate, these things take way longer than you think they will. I wouldn't read anything into that.
