Ah. I feel all squishy inside, like when someone writes a song for me!! Or how I used to feel, in pre-Mommydom, when someone used to write a song for me…
Just was outside, 230 am, dogs barking, husband scolding (whatever), needed to feel the warm happies. Thanks.
Just to clarify, however, I think I did the picking up that long-ago day! You were in such a fog.
Today. It was fun, much needed, and yes, it is SO nice to reconnect more regularly with you.

I love the detail about the playdate brunch she set up for you. That’s a true friend. I also like the triple-boy nap!

It makes me happy to hear about kids who still spend most of their time outside in nature and not cooped up playing video games.

Jared Jaffe, a friend of Michael’s, was the one who lived there. He had a pet iguana. I have great pics of us at that party!! We’ll have to catch up soon. Mike V. and I will get to McBar at some point.

Jared is still doing his art, check it out: http://www.jaredjaffeceramics.com/

So funny you were part of the reminiscing!! I remember a place Michael lived I am not sure you lived there on 13th street and the party we came to. I remember someone had a huge lizard.

that block is unrecognizable!!

I think they will settle soon………………….

Yeah, taking a different route definitely moves your mind in different directions as well. Taking the train now means I end up in Market East and the other day I walked through The Gallery, something I hadn’t done since I think high school. It was so weird to see how much things had changed and stayed the same. Everything was so unappealing, but I did stop in the Hallmark store and found the cutest card for my nephew who is only 10 mos. On the cover, a squirrel is popping out of a pilgrim’s hat to offer the reader an acorn, and it reads: “Happy Thanksgiving to You!” And inside: “Thanksgiving Day / means so much more / with cute little you / to be thankful for!” So…thanks to the strike, my little nephew will be getting his first piece of mail.

With that said, I still want my buses and trolleys back!

I secretly love the strike. Not the gnarly traffic or the fact that everybody everywhere is running late, but I like that we are all in this together and it forces people to slow down a bit.

Gack. I STILL have service industry nightmares. And I wake up panicking. I have meth relapse visions as well. Creepy as hell.
(NOW, I have dreams of cranky millionaires giving me thirty different things to do at once…..argh.)
Maybe something’s going on, that you both had such similar sleeping thoughts.
Pleasant dreams, always………..
Get some rest. Different from sleep…

ahhh, the barmare.

I know them well.

Everytime I get a bit stressed out, I dream I’m in the weeds. Or running drinks to Rittenhouse Square for people who couldn’t find a seat at the bar.

Or putting pickles on the rims instead of lemons.

It’s weird.

I feel for you.

I loved reading about your wonderfully earth-conscience little 4 year-old! What a great way to spend special time with him & do something great for everyone else around you at the same time. Good luck getting wildman’s issues addressed completely at school! it’s like red tape central down here to get ANYTHING done! i have given serious thought to homeschooling my oldest.

keep the blogs coming …when you have time of course!
