Shut Up
Here is something that keeps showing up on a lot of my friends’ Facebook “25 Things” notes that is starting to piss me off:
“I had my baby totally naturally.”
They mean, “without drugs.”
I had my baby naturally too, but I had an Epidural. So if you mean you had your kid without painkillers, say that. Don’t say you had it naturally. If it came out...

Our Life
Me: Your mom told me how to make Turkey Burgers NOT dry and disgusting.
Justin: How?
Me: She said to slice up zucchini and put it in there.
Justin: Why the fuck would anyone do that?
I want this more than anything in the whole world. →
Seriously. This is my Ken Burns Baseball Documentary- what I aspire to one day own in it’s entirety.
I’m too tired/lazy/maybe sick to post my own things today so obviously I am just doing a lot of stealing from Adam.

No forgiveness this year, Oscar.
Nope. Although I am totally behind Michael Shannon (I haven’t even seen Revolutionary Road, I just love him because of The Pillowman) I really can’t believe no one else realized how truly brilliant Irwin was in Rachel Getting Married. I have not seen a more genuine performance in a long time.
Dear Oscars
If you nominate Bill Irwin tomorrow I will forgive you for Crash.
Chatting with Cynthia
Cynthia: Well, I just thought the way Bush left was really dignified.
Me: I guess, I mean we didn't really see him do anything.
Cynthia: Well, if you saw the way the Clintons left the White House you'd think so.
Me: What?
Cynthia: They took everything they could get their hands on. They took all the furniture they could get and took all the Ws off the computers. They literally pillaged the White House.
Me: What??
Cynthia: I just think it's going to be a really colorful White House now.

We are Richard Kind.
“How much is that Meerkat in the window?”
– A young Tyler Coates, who appeared to be about 8 or 9 was singing this to himself today at the zoo while peering through the glass at the Meerkats. This was just before he shrieked ‘THEY ARE SO CUTE!!’
I found a new role of duct tape so Caroline won’t be getting into those cabinets again for awhile.

This is just awful. The clip makes me cringe.
FDA says don't eat Peanut Butter →
So, the half box of Peanut Butter Patties I ate for breakfast might have been a bad choice.
Ugh.
I just watched 2 minutes of Dune and I want to die.

This week I am skipping right to Plan B, which will be a package of Walgreens-brand pizza rolls, because I am too poor for a DiGiorno pizza.
For the love of god, Sweet William. At least learn how to make grilled cheese.

Not quite. Try...”

Well, I just threw a handful of cheerios on the floor to distract Caroline from pulling glass bowls out of the cabinets.

One year ago I was slowly losing amniotic fluid and had no idea Caroline was days away. I can’t believe she turns 1 on Sunday.

Dear Tyler,
Rushdie’s not the only one who liked The Dark Knight either.
Love,
Katy
p.s. I love how you only quote him where you think he’s right....

Am I right to assume who his baby’s mother is? You know what I’m talking about.
“I’m too tired to go in the hot tub.”
– A quote from Margot that I totally forgot about from the trip. I wish I could emphasize through text the whiny voice she used for this statement.
