Maintaining standards

Why is it that, my guy being not home for the evening due to a fantasy baseball draft, it suddenly seems normal to eat only an enormous bowl of edamame for dinner, with chocolates for dessert?

The ride home (II)

Distance to bike from home to work: 6 miles
Distance to bike from work to home: 6 miles
Distance to bike from work to home if you take the oh-so-attractive, unpaved, windy path through the wetlands that actually comes up over by the airport: 8 miles

Level of leg-soreness the next day: AAAARRGGGH

Level of incredulity that you did this kind of thing in high school all the damn time: !!!!!!!!!

Funny money

Some days (like, oh, today) I look at my bank account and think, "Huh. Where did all the money go?" 


Then I realize that I have $678 dollars of expense reports still to submit, after which point my bank account balance will go up rather noticeably. 

Maybe it's not all about the shopping after all....

More about babies

On my mantelpiece right now are two new-baby announcements. Both babies look, um, like babies: they're cute (but then, would anyone send out a new-baby announcement that wasn't?).

But the real point of this post is that both babies have the middle name Elizabeth! Just like me!

Clearly these babies' excellent middle name makes them way cuter than they would be otherwise.
