Patrick, people like you just hold up the line for people like us. Step aside until you’ve studied the booklet. Or just order a small coffee and they’ll translate that for you. Be strong.

Dylan, I assume you mean the book you’re writing. Fabulous! Keep going to the end!

Adrienne, I totally support you having something delicious instead of something sucky like canned soup. You’re right–that would be too depressing. We deserve fresh food. Rawk it.

Oh, Kelley, how cute! I bet that was so much fun for both of you. Those Mommy-and-me dates are so precious for all concerned.

Mother Reader, BRAVO on skipping the dinner. Major bravo on that one. Talk about feeling obligated. Way to go your own way! And high five on the naps. Winter brings those on, and we’re fools to deprive ourselves of whatever ones we can grab.

And thanks for what you said about blogging. You nailed it.

I’ve also been napping like nobody’s business. So I’m either burned out or coming down with something. But, boy, do the naps feel good.

(Robin, I never feel better when I don’t blog. I think that I will appreciate all the time that I’m not online, but I end up spinning my wheels instead. It’s dreadfully unfair. But I find, at least writing wise, I get more charged up writing and reading on line - it gives me that energy.)

Patrick, You must resist the Starbucks pressure to use those ridiculous names they have for their drink sizes. Acknowledging their lingo only encourages them.

Michele! I can’t believe you met tTim Gunn! That’s totally awsome anf un for you!

Oh, and yesterday, in the middle of a relatively stressful work day, I slipped out to pick up pizza from my favorite pizza place. And now I have leftovers for today and probably tomorrow. So, I’m kind of amortizing the time that I spent to drive 15 minutes each way. You know how that works.
