bearcub in the rain, with mushrooms
The other day I was out in the rain, playing a round of frenzied dogball with Maggie and Molly, when I stumbled upon…mushrooms!

size comparison
Big old mushroom piles, chilling in my backyard. I have big hands with extremely long fingers, so these clumps are quite large.

mushroom family
…and kind of gross-looking.

latex
Sort of like this latex outfit.

squish squish
Ew.

diaper
Ha ha.

The Boy is watching “The Muppets take Manhattan” while he eats his breakkie this morning. When I told him I had never seen it, he seemed surprised.

“It’s a good one,” he said. “Kermit gets amnesia-”

“Don’t ruin it for me! I want to see it someday!”

“-and falls in with a bad group of frogs.”

PMS time ’round here, which means I alternate between singing songs to my husband about his receding hairline and wanting to mount him. I’m also feeling emotionally delicate, which means I do my yearly call-everyone-on-the-phone routine*.

I called up Work Gay, who cried, “It’s so good to hear your happy voice!”, and my friend Lisa, who said, “You never call me. Are you pregnant?”, and my father, who, upon hearing about my latest project (typing up a book I wrote at age 13, illustrating it and then self-publishing it) grunted, “Oh, a vanity project, eh?” Sigh.

It’s Friday! And now that I’m working again I’m happy about it!

* So Kissy, now is a good time to call me!!! Do eet!
