Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Francesca Ruth is a beautiful name! Welcome to the world, baby girl!

shrift, I hope settling in goes easier.

I'm getting increasingly worried that my kitchen will not be done by the time I leave on vacation on the 28th. This could be a problem.

Spent hours this last week with an incredibly scatter-brained new coworker who I have had to train (because nobody else will). It hasn't helped that she basically didn't get computer access for six work days, so she hasn't been able to do any work. Please god I hope she works out, because my boss wants me to give her my boring work while I transition into the more complicated stuff (yay?). Anyway, it's exhausting and now I've got to go to bed.

My baby girl is going to be senior next year. It's really hard to believe.

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

My niece is also going to be a senior, although I am not sure when her year starts. Not quite yet, I don't think, but I could be wrong.

Hi all, I seem to have disappeared for a while, but I'm trying to be back more.

I dragged myself out of bed to go to the office this morning. Yay for programmable coffee machines.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I have no dairy products in the house because I forgot to stop on the way home yesterday so now I am having iced tea in the hopes that it will get me safely to Peets.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My little cousin is off to college, but that doesn't seem as crazy because he's been a giant for years now, and I see him a lot. Sara's nephews, OTOH, are just babies! Toddlers at most.
