Someone asked on my local Nextdoor about how to get kittens the other week, and everyone's answer was, "just wait." Heh.

In human baby news, I just dove into some coworkers' conversations, because Kate Middleton had the baby! And has already left the hospital! And looked stunning.

I just had a "Tartlets? Tartlets. The word has lost all meaning" moment.

I was looking for a song with "green"in the title and so I searched on that in my iTunes and suddenly confronted with rows of the word "Green" it looked impossibly wrong.

My brain was all, "What? How can a word with two "ee"s in the middle be a color? That doesn't make any sense at all! GREEEEEEN. What? No. I reject it."

And I'm all, "Brain. [sigh] You've been spelling this word since you were five years old. That's how you spell it. Remember in second grade when you forgot how to spell "of" and kept writing "uv"? You're just having a little pattern glitch here."

David I often have that feeling with the word "from". From from from from--it sounds like a nonsense word, especially if you start pronouncing it to rhyme with romcom or something?

FrommmCom!

I have no funny word stories. Just trying to work and my foot is not happy with me. I've been in sneakers for almost 2 weeks and yes, there are times I've gone barefoot since I HATE wearing shoes in the house. Normally it is just awkward walking because the muscles in that foot have forgotten how to work or it can get hurt when I walk a bunch. But today, it has been yelling at me from the time I woke up. This has got to stop. I'm at the edge of tears over this.

Well, I've been on the edge of tears since talking with my dad yesterday. He called to tell me his wife's sister has passed away from brain cancer. I knew she was sick and that this was an eventuality, but it is always sudden.

Then he said he hadn't bought tickets to come out for my graduation yet. He wasn't sure if he would be able to make the trip. First he didn't come out for Kelly's wedding and now this? I don't know what is going on. And it hurts.

Dang, I'm just a jangle of nerves. I wanna run away from all of this. Not that I can even walk across a room right now.

Is that like a convention for people who really like Ethan Frome?

I'm sorry, Suzi.

Gud, are you around? Do your kids know a Ray-Pec kid named Lance Hays?

Nope, sorry.

I'm sorry, Suzi.

Is your dad worried about travel for any reason? Or about money? Those would be my guesses.

I have this one too, except I decided after a while it sounded like an insult, which led to me and a friend calling each other, "You fromzy thing!" for most of that semester.

I'm sorry, Suzi. That's a bunch of not-goodness at once. {{{Suzi}}}
