This made me laugh like crazy.
Me, too. It is so, so true.
Hey, Rick, do you have any good recs for books about identical twins? I would like to read up a little bit before I start the story I'm working on.

Because books.

Amy, the most accessible book is Entwined Lives, by Nancy Segal. It goes more to the human interest side than the obstetric or genetic epidemiology sides where most of the literature on twins is found.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You can whip one egg white! I've done it!
I knew if anyone here had actually done it, it would be you, -t! I have a recipe for 6 individual desserts, but the ingredients are all divisible by 3, so I just want to make two.

Thanks, Rick!

Ugh. I went home early yesterday because I was freezing and figured out that my temperature was elevated, which kinda explains why I've been feeling futless all week. I came in late today, and the only reason I didn't call in sick is because I signed up to volunteer for code.org today and didn't want to blow it off.

Okay, I confirmed that my old stylist moved to California, so I went ahead and scheduled an appointment tomorrow with one of the salon's master stylists. Because I am in dire need of a haircut.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
TJs sold at some point a watermelon-flavored beer.
21st Amendment Watermelon Wheat Beer, probably. Delicious, and I'm not a fruit (or wheat) beer drinker. edit: Though I can only really do one or two at a time. Unless I'm at the brewery. And then it's game on.
All the WTF? at Steph's neighbors, though.
Aw, kids! They look like people, but are actually mostly animals.
So true. I'm sorry Noah hurt your feelings, Kat.

Boston (and Salem) Beer Works does a watermelon beer seasonally (and I think they now bottle it year-round).
But, yeah, WTF neigbors?

Suzi, that sounds like a milestone.
I was looking for a word to describe the reaching of milestones by one's children, where you feel pride and excitement but also a twinge of melancholy and nostalgia. I figured there must be a word in German that explains that. (Noah has been learning to ride a bike this summer).
