Speaking of teeth...
I'm hungry.
And have no food in the house.
Well, except for poptarts and cereal.
And a few cans of soup.
None of which sounds good.
So, do I go out and grab something?
That would require putting clothes back on.
And going out in the cold and rain (and dark
)
Hmmm....
Rutabaga is starting to not sound so bad.

I'm wearing pajamas.
As soon as I get home, I put on pajamas.
Even if I'm going back out later.
Because I'm weird.

I am also a fan of wearing pajamas out of the house! The other day one of my friends (in his 40s!) told me that he had only just discovered pajama-wearing a week ago. For the past 40-odd years he would just wear jeans all evening until bedtime...bizarre! He was really singing the praises of pajamas like he had come to some type of brilliant epiphany. He has kids and a wife who all wear them so it's not like this is the first he's heard of it.
Hello, my sillies!
I'm reading "On Becoming A Novelist" by some dude who is quite judgemental and opinionated, but I have to say I agree with this:
Storyteller's intelligence is "composed of several qualities, most of which, in normal people, are signs of either immaturity or incivility."
We are truly artists, here, for sure.
Kitty, so funny. Are you still in the UK?
Smish, next time you go to the store to stock up on poptarts, head on over to the freezer section and get yourself something you can keep for emergencies. They're not the greatest, calorie-wise, but my kids love Nancy's quiches, Marie Calendar's Pot pies, and the old stand-by, pizza. You need your strength to write!

So, I'm watching Anne of Avonlea (or Anne of Green Gables, the Sequel, as it's sometimes called), and I have a question for you:
Gilbert?
Or Morgan?
Gilbert?
Or Morgan?
So true. Ever notice how it's really good to be "childlike" and really bad to be "childish"? But anyways, whenever anyone calls me childish, I just retort that they are a big poophead so there.
Nope, I'm hoooome! I had a really great time and met a bunch of AWers and now I am recovering from post-vacation fatigue.

I AM AS OLD AS THE HILLS AND AS YOUNG AS SPRINGTIME.
So, somewhere between purely driven and slushed?

I knew a dude, once, that could not find The One. I asked, "Well, what are you looking for?"
He said, "A woman with a childlike sense of wonder."
"Are you sure you just don't want someone that can be tricked in to snipe hunting?"
Oh, man, have you guys read this?
An Ode to E.B. White and a Very Special Teacher
Definitely required reading for writers and teachers. Just a quick piece about how much hearing Stuart Little read aloud in 2nd grade changed someone's life. Warning: you'll probably cry.

Thank you, Kitty Pryde! That was so great. I thanked you in the comments section for steering me there.
