June 2012
After a very stressful day at work I spent the evening dreaming and planning for our first trip to Disney World.
Good choice, me.
Oh
That’s why.
WHY ARE THERE NOT MORE PEOPLE HERE TO SEE BELLA WHATSHERNAME IN A SUIT OF ARMOR?
They mowed the entire arboretum this morning. This...

I’ve been trying all night to write a post about blogging the hard parenting stuff. I can’t seem to find the right words. I try not to blog about the hard stuff. I feel like I have good personal reasons for that, reasons that make sense for me and my family. Other people have other philosophies, and that’s cool too.
I know there are people out there who want to hear the hard...
Hey, look, the only reason it’s important that they make Les Miz into a real movie is so I can accidentally run across it on cable Sunday afternoons and put it on while I clean the house. I mean, who the fuck cares who’s in it? I’m going to sing all the parts anyway and can’t hear a damn thing over my own howling.

Trailer: Les Miserables - Dec 14
Directed by Tom Hooper, starring Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Sacha Baron Cohen, Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne, Samantha Barks, and Aaron Tveit.
This trailer does an excellent job of conveying at once intimacy and grand scale. On that level, it’s impressive what Hooper has been able to pull off with so little...

Wow.
I don’t want to jinx it, but it’s 5:15 am and the Beans are still asleep and that’s a record on this trip, so YAY! It would be even more better if I were asleep too! Oh well!
ETA: Never mind! They made it to 5:17! I think I jinxed it! Fuck!
AIR CONDITIONING IS MY FAVORITE
I have wi-fi for about a minute before it kicks me off, but I wanted to say that I miss you and I have so many pics for littlebeans when I return to civilization and I’m so incredibly tired.
Apparently the problem with the wi-fi is that when you gather a gaggle of geeks for a wedding at a country inn in Vermont the router becomes taxed. Solution? Get online at 6 in the morning. Traffic is clear.
I can’t tell if this bed is trying to hug me or trying to swallow me.

I am often cynical about the idea of “moral leadership,” but it’s hard to find another explanation for this:
A new Public Policy Polling survey in Maryland finds a significant increase in support for same-sex marriage among African American voters following President Obama’s historic announcement two weeks ago. The referendum to keep the state’s new law legalizing same-sex...
It’s muggy as hell in New York. How do you live?
Ok. I refused to go to bed before the sun went down, but now that I can’t read anymore by the light from the window, can I please, please, please go to sleep? I am exhausted.

Christine Miserandino’s personal story and analogy of what it is like to live with sickness or disability.
Forever reblog. EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THIS.
For those who aren’t already familiar with this, it’s a fantastic, helpful analogy.

Speaking of the Please Touch Museum (which was—as has been noted to death on littlebeans—AWESOME) some [white] parents need to learn how to fucking parent. I mean really. You’re going to let your 6, 7, and 8 year old kids just run over babies?!? And you’re not going to say a word to them?!? You’re going to film your 6 year old daughter at the water table while she reaches over my...
Luckily everything we own can fit in the van. At least I think that’s about how much we packed.

I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to see Gleam this winter. Amazing work.
Also, ten points to Ravenclaw for sitting down to eat a meal on a busy, stressful day, even if it was in the car.
Today I'm adulting all over myself.

Thirteen days ago I wrote a story and performed it for a whole big group of people. I wrote the story on Saturday, memorized it, and performed it on Sunday. This morning Ap asked me something about it and I didn’t remember doing it. Then she reminded me it had happened and I couldn’t remember what it was about. Then she told me some of the relevant bits and only after that did I start...
