Don’t tell me what I’ll love, ViralNova. I’ll decide that.

I created a Facebook account in 2012 but didn’t really post much until 2014. In 2018 I deleted my account (for secret reasons). It was a relief to let it go, but also a little sad. I quickly lost tabs of friends and extended family. Of course we still talk now and again, but I am much less aware of what’s going on in their day to day lives. Nevertheless I’m glad I left.
In an act of unbridled vanity, I have archived all the old posts here.

I just realized my giant Costco bag of assorted name brand chocolate bars doesn’t include Snickers. That’s like buying a bag of assorted mobile devices and it turns out to be all Samsungs.

When you have little kids you have to plan lots of activities for their parties to keep things moving. When you have teens you just have to get out of the way of the party. But with tweens I think by law you have to provide activities that you know they will ignore as they giggle and scream in a pack in a bedroom or in the back yard.





Needs an editor:
“The quarantine attempt is shaping up as the nation’s biggest test case yet in the struggle to balance p̶u̶b̶l̶i̶c̶ ̶h̶e̶a̶l̶t̶h̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ fear of Ebola against personal freedom.”
Fixed that for you.
Also, thank you, your honor.


Apparently I drive the same car as Maple’s mom so when I pull up to the school she sometimes jumps up and I have to roll down the window and yell, “It’s just me Maple.”
Also, Maple is tall and thin like a maple tree. This has nothing to do with my story but it always makes me smile.


Sophia doesn’t always cry, but when she does it is because someone else is sad. It’s hard sometimes to be a little person with such a big heart.




Sophia: You’re the best thing that ever happened to me!
Me: I didn’t really happen to you. You just came into existence and there I was.
Sophia: Yeah but I could have come to…like…Hitler.

“People often say that same-sex marriage now is like interracial marriage in the 60s. But in terms of public opinion, same-sex marriage now is like interracial marriage in the 90s, when it had already been legal nationwide for 30 years.”

Mamie: “You pigged out and ate all yours even though I told you to save some for tomorrow.”
Sophia: “I live in the moment.”



Sophia: [jokingly] “You just wish I would go away and leave the family.”
Me: “Oh no no. If I wanted someone to leave our family you wouldn’t be my first choice.”
Isabel: “Who exactly would be your first choice?!”
Me: “Me.”
This is why my children need therapy.



Yesterday Isabel got Orville Redenbacher and Arnold Schwarzenegger confused.
Same basic thing.

I’m not pre-ordering an iPhone this time, but I happen to be up working and I see the apple store isn’t up at all right now. There must be some heads rolling over there…

I have mystery water in my closet. Coming from a wall that has no plumbing. And once we tore the carpet out and investigated, it went away and now I have no idea if I should recarpet and call it good, or burn the house down.


Sophia finished reading The Wind in the Willows tonight and now we’re watching the old 1987 ABC television special movie version. I haven’t seen this in years. It is so great.


DELETE FROM facebook.posts WHERE posts.title like "%you won't believe%";

Whenever I see a raft of Facebook birthday posts, I think if this old gem: Link

What if an extra-terrestrial intelligent civilization has found us, but the only data they can interpret is Youtube comments.

I’m so excited for Sophia to come home from her first day at a new school that I can’t concentrate on my work.

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to feel anything as deeply as Sophia feels everything.
She is really going to miss Maïa.

I accidentally threw back before thursday. I hope you don’t all unfriend me at once.
