If you're like me, that probably won't happen until someone finds a way to make days last 28 hours, and even then I'd still find a way to extend the time out so I could get to do just one more thing.

It's really really hard to get all of one's sleep -- I'm lacking too in that department. ;-)

Me three. To the point of exhaustion, today.

That article on cities fining the poor is really upsetting.

I was going to say "never," but this works too.

(Because sometimes adulting requires sleepus interruptus)

A baby in a friend's extended family is in the midst of the expressive jargon phase. Total mastery that conversations and stories have rhythms and pauses, just not quite up to the language that the grown-ups can understand.

“Knock, knock.”
“Who’s there?”
“Do you want me to wash your house?”
“No, thank you.”
“Okay.”

I love this joke. An hilariously unexpected question, in a very polite exchange.

You say 'upsetting', I say 'pitchforks', same diff.

There's just so many books to read, so many cats and dogs to snuggle...!

[conuly]

Adulting, that's a funny word for staying up all night playing Mario Kart...!

[bibliofile]

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

[workday_dreamer]

Well, yes. That statement from Jeff Sessions about the "dear colleague" letters being overstepping the bounds of their authority made my blood run cold. How can someone be such a lizard person?

[marahmarie]

Thanks *hugs back*
