Less a train and more a constant loop

This is how my thoughts go these days:
Urf. Something smells awful. La la la. La la la. OMG WE’RE GOING TO HAVE A BABY! … La la la, la la la. La la. HOLY CRAP WHAT DID WE GET OURSELVES INTO? … La la la. Oh hey, Twizzler! <repeat>

Songs my kids like to randomly start singing

“All the Single Ladies,” Beyonce
“Cigarette,” The Clarks
“Question,” Old 97’s
“Lion’s Teeth,” The Mountain Goats
“Hello, Goodbye,” The Beatles

My green babies

Oh my God. I just wrote and deleted a weirdly detailed post about repotting my plants. Let me sum it up for you: As other people treat their dogs like children, I treat my plants like pets.

The gripping conclusion of our heroine’s tale

All right. I can’t leave that bit about the pants up there at the top of the page. Ugh.
Epilogue to the Sad Pants Story
I drove back to the mall, by myself. I reveled in the simple freedom of taking the escalator, unencumbered and light as a feather without two tots and a stroller. I smiled […]

But first, this vital piece of nail polish information!

Things are pretty much squared away at work, so I will be coming out of the closet re: moving plans pretty soon. But first —
