I know that Karen's kids are hurting today, too... I wish that I could comfort them, but I really can't.
There is no comfort, just grief.

Mother's Day: She spoke loudly and with conviction, so I learned how to be a loudmouth and badass, too.

...they have both been told by their respective arch-bishops to not partake of that cannibalistic ritual, communion.
And they have both ignored that edict.

I have all four kids today. By myself. I am slightly outnumbered, and more than a little overwhelmed.

it was to the point that we were gonna have to start making stuff up and passing it off for true, heh.

Dad was telling them about a neighbor who had gotten drunk at a livestock auction and came home with seven buffalo calves which he then had to learn how to contain and care for.

I'm Sailing Right Behind: Evelyn Rose DeAngelis, my darling, my stringbean, she who is dew, who is gold, who is absolutely perfect, graduates from college tomorrow. People keep congratulating me on this milestone, and I don’t understand why. Lynn has done all the work.

I owe Shan a beer or three – she kept up a steady stream of chatter, so it wasn’t immediately obvious that I was trapped in my own private Idaho of painful memories and gay male bonding.

Her idea of logic and mine did not frequently correlate, however....

I am nervous about this whole thing. My nerves are manifesting themselves as concern over my shoes, but really I know why I’m being so neurotic about it all: we’re going to a family function, and family functions freak me right the fuck out.

It was a good day to sleep- - cloudy and kinda rainy all day. But I didn't sleep. of course. I really want to work tomorrow.

I have kind of a hard time getting real rah-rah about Bike To Work Week because to me, cycling for transportation is the opposite of a big deal.

I am unusually tired. You can tell by my jaunty hat – to the untrained eye it appears as though I am making a bold fashion statement, but to those in the know, the sequined beanie hides a multitude of unwashed sins.

I'm only two hours from home, but it feels like much more this time. I'm homesick for a person, not a place.

...talked to me a lot about Karen... she is one of those people that instantly knows all of your life's secrets.

I can't hate her, of course.

When we first moved to Vancouver, we didn’t really have any idea of what to eat, so we relied on the hip and cool local rag to steer us in the general direction of delicious. Time and time again we were disappointed in what was considered “the best” in any number of categories – either someone has been buying reader votes, or a lot of people have just plain crappy taste.

And I have to find my birth certificate... it's in with my passport... which I haven't been able to find since we moved two years ago.

Unable to read the packaging, you rely on images and proximity to determine what you’ll try. It’s a fairly fail-proof method, because groceries stores don’t generally shelve rat poison next to popcorn.

Too much thinking, not enough sleeping.

Ah, I see having twice as many children gives them twice as many chances, collectively, to infect me with their pestilence. Fortunately, I didn't catch it from the one who has strep.

I am much better at momming when I can get out and, like, do things.

This is one of those days that make me glad that I decided to retire....

Ed and I have no plans this weekend, and I am excited – I can finally crack open GTA IV, I don’t have to wear pants, and there are many good things to be said about not dining out for 6 days in a row.

Well, it just doesn't get any more straightforward and authoritative about the question than that, does it?
