When you are traveling for the weekend and you have plans to meet a friend it might be worthwhile to ask about the formality of dinner. If one shows up in jeans, hiking shoes, and a ratty sweatshirt at a four star restaurant one feels like a total loser. Dinner, of course, was excellent anyway.

Fairies are sometimes pugs in disguise, but you have to listen very closely for the evidence.

It is possible to fall in love with yourself while driving and doing some hard thinking about the future.

If one is going to not have conversation during a six hour trip it is better to be alone in the car. Silent people suck.

If someone is treating someone else in a way that would offend me it is not my place to say that the behavior is offensive. I need to be better at minding my own business.

I never want to have surgery on my nose.

I am going to have a child. It isn’t in question. (No I’m not pregnant and I won’t be in the next two years.) I don’t need to have a partner in order to produce a wonderful child. As long as I feel like I require a partner for this I will be frantic and upset, but I know enough women who have managed to bring forth some of the best kids I have ever met without needing to have a partner around for help. I know it isn’t easy, but I am starting out with the advantage of a career where supporting myself and my child will be less of a struggle. I can do this. This is what I want from my life.

If you see a rainbow that takes your breath away call someone and tell them about it. It will brighten your day and theirs.
