I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Aww, noodle. Making such big progress!

poor noodle indeed.

We have played with everything in the house there is to play with. The day ended with a lego tower as tall (actually taller than) Noah: [link]

I am looking forward to going back to work.

Aw noodle.

For the second night in a row they are doing roadwork outside my house. Last night they worked ALL NIGHT. It's after midnight now, and if I get woken up at again at 4:30 this morning I am going to HULK SMASH!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

If I were totally settling back on stereotypes, I'd be saying straight guys don't talk about emotional stuff, but that's patently false.

I talked about emotional stuff with my college roommate all the time. However, it was more about friendships than romances.

We did talk a lot during his divorce though, since I'd preceded him in that territory and it's a lot of upheaval.

I talked a fair amount with my high school and college male friends about emotional territory, but that's not common ground with my male friendships now.

Oh yikes, Sue. Makes you want to yell, "Pipe DOWN out there!"

I slept like shit last night and ended up leaving and going to the kid's room to sleep since the better air conditioner is there. But between the full moon and the constant vigilance of waiting for the trash truck, I didn't sleep any better there!

I miss my straight guy friends from college. I don't really have any in Seattle.

I find it very difficult to believe 25% of guys travel with a stuffed animal. Seriously??

Also, sort of speaking of shoes earlier....Isabel Toledo did a line for Payless (!!). I love the first pump and kinda love the foldover boot.: [link]

Me too. I don't see that. I don't know any guys that travel with stuffed animals.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Did they poll a furry convention???

Seriously. I almost feel like pulling an Arthur Dent and going out and lying in front of their heavy machinery in my bathrobe. Of course there are like 20 of them (they must be getting paid double time) so they could probably pick me up no problem.
