Jenn was very late today, running errands. No matter.

During dinner (tacos!), I got bored, so I started singing.

( This is a story that will get on everybody's nerves )

Overheard earlier today, while the cookies were baking and the girls were playing with their friend Sonia from down the block: "Ana, that's what I saided!" I'm not sure how Evangeline thinks of the verb "to say", but the past tense, for her, is clearly "saided". Or "sedded", even.

I now officially have an opinion on Bristol Palin

I didn't before, other than not liking her mom, but now she officially has a few plus points in my estimation for her view that abstinence-only education, despite what her mother thinks, is a bad idea.

And she would know. Of course, her failure to communicate that effectively, when she must have known it would be asked, does count against her in my mind... but meh, she's only 17 (18?) and she grew up with her mother, queen of the inarticulate. And besides, a lot of people freeze under pressure.

Why didn't I know about this site before?

I'm currently browsing videos on Montessori - must read her work one of these days, really, get it all out of my system so I can be knowledgeable about it - but I'm sure I'll find something else to look at soon enough. It's all shiny and all!
