You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Whole Foods order update: Seven items unavailable, five of them had substitutes available that I was willing to accept.

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

So, when I talked to my mom yesterday she mentioned that when she was out and about it seemed like everyone she saw when she went out for a walk or whatever was no only staying 6 feet away but not smiling or being friendly at all. Which seemed kind of odd. But I haven't been out at all, so I had no data to compare. So I went out just now to pick up dinner, and I drove because I'm lazy so I really didn't have a chance to interact with anyone but the person who gave me food (I don't think it was the chef, I've met her before and I think I would recognize her, but someone from the restaurant who came out with my bag) and I found it weirdly hard not to lean in and touch her on the arm or something when I took my bag. I never thought I was a touchy-feely person, but I guess I am?

This post brought to you by: maybe that's enough wine for this hour?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

My condolences to you and your family, Jessica.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Matilda did not get into School of the Arts.

She's crying in her bedroom now.

This sucks.

I just feel so heartsick for her. She's such a good person and deserves good things.

{{{Matilda}}} I'm sorry, that's heartbreaking.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh I'm sorry. It is so hard to watch your child in pain. The worst.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Poor Matilda! That is heartbreaking.

Oh no! I was sure she would. I'm so sorry.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Oh no! Poor Matilda!

Aw, poor Matilda. Does she know about her friends yet? That's so rough. I hope at least some folks she knows and likes will go to her high school that she ends up at. :(
