Our vw just started a new job that is not wfh, and I’m trying to remind myself not to send her 5 million texts and videos like I’ve done since we both became moms. It’s going to be a weird transition.
Tara: That was funny if you've studied Taglarin mystic rites and... are a total dork... Riley: Then how come Xander didn't laugh?

Punishingly Intricate
Meara, I hope you have a wonderful birthday. We need to plan on being on the same coast some year to have a Virgo bday extravaganza celebration!!!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Happy birthday, meara! I'm sorry the previous best friends are being disappointing, that's a drag. Cupcakes and dancing sounds fun!
People my age seem old to me, definitely. Looking in the mirror can be a bit startling on that front as well, though. Lately I have been noticing when the mother of the main character of a book (and who seems to the mc either ancient or, like, spry for her age) is younger than me and it's pretty frequent.

Oh, that would be a lot of awesome in one place, for sure!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Whenever I see a photo of a mildly famous person I went to college with, I am momentarily alarmed at how old they look. (Kristen Schaal and I are the same age, damnit, why does she look middle aged?! Oh...right...)

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Happy Birthday, meara!

Not only am I older than Buffy Summers, I am also older than Rupert Giles. Probably the only BTVS character I'm younger than at this point is Anya.

Don't insist too hard, she might just end up calling you "vieja."
