This resonates with me so, so very much. I laughed so hard at β€œhe could never fully consume the amount of Train his brain wanted and that made a small part of him burn with rage.” And the sudden disappearance of those things is why I always weep at things like Inside Out. And lots of other things.

For NYE, Should Old Acquaintance suggest anything other than jammies by 8:30, sipping a festive beverage of your choice, prior to a reasonable bedtime in your own bed…

…they should definitely Be Forgot and Never Brought to Mind.

No one so hungry as the kid who loudly insisted, repeatedly, when asked, that they were not hungry - before arriving in a place where getting food is difficult.

Look, you can either moisturize your face, or you can see through your glasses. You can’t do both. I don’t make the rules.

Look at this tote bag I made from real fabric on an actual sewing machine! I am likely to tote things VERY CONSPICUOUSLY in an effort to get people to ask me where I got my tote bag. (The fabric was scrap from ScrapRVA, which is a wonderland.)

Anyone who doesn’t believe in multiverses or time travel has never met a mom coordinating schedules in December.

Gonna start a company called β€œUgh, PANTS” for people who can never find pants that fit right. These won’t fit right either, but at least you’ll know we hate it too.

On the 9th day of Advent, McSweeney's gave to me…my own little Nutcracker piece in a tiny book! Since today is, coincidentally, my birthday, this was a delightful surprise. If you don’t have the calendar, you can still read the piece here: www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/her...
