Last night while I was babysitting half a dozen children and folding laundry (it's a glamorous life I'm leading here in Greenville) I was chatting about the day's events with megs on the phone when I had to break up a wedgie fight between two of the boys. It was a strange (very strange) Lost-style flash forward to the days of child rearing* which I hope will still include debriefing each other on every single unimportant detail of the past 24 hours, and laughing about the wit and ironies of each.

During that conversation we also talked about how eating ice cream every day forever is part of our life philosophy. Also included in my life philosophy are; eating cookies for breakfast and calling them scones and making impulsive fiscal decisions that include purses with STRIPES AND BOWS!

gush, gush gush.

Speaking of gushing, for the past 48 hours Emily Lewis and I have being exchanging Sylvia Plath quotes that are particularly true, cynical and relevant to our lives. Ones that stick in my memory are,
"I'm supposed to be having the time of my life."
"If there's anything I look down on, it's a man in a blue outfit."
and the kicker...
"There I went again, building up a glamorous picture of a man who would love me passionately the minute he met me, and all out of a few prosy nothings." **
Who doesn't love a good prosy nothing?
