And while Daddy was gone…

Well, now that we’ve shown the finished product to M, I am allowed to talk about the fact that Zoe had her ears pierced Friday. She swore me to secrecy until we could show him, and he’s on retreat this weekend.

Lost: creativity, and the willpower to stop eating

It’s 9:14 p.m. and I’m tired because I was up until 2 a.m. and I have heartburn because when I am stressed I overeat and by the end of this week I should weigh 5,739 pounds at the rate I’m going so I think maybe the heartburn is saying, “Hey, stupid, stop shoving everything you can find in your mouth. That’s not good for you. Drink water.” I should listen to the heartburn. If I promise to listen to you, will you go away? Now, please.
