Amy, I think he means that trying to turn suburbs into something more like towns is pretty much impossible due to zoning. I think.

Forget about only Wednesday, how can it be that I've only been home 5 minutes, and my kids are already getting on my nerves?

How is it that it's only 6:40 pm and I want to go to bed?

I like walking to Target because I'm limited to what I can carry. Keeps me from spending $100 every time I go.

Mostly.

Ky kids usually start bickering in the car on the way home from after school.

Oh DH took care of pick up. Turns out homework supervision is on me. As is dinner. And finishing those cupcakes!

I want to go to bed too! Of course, I am still at work, which makes it a little harder.

I'm going to meet this cat tonight [link]

His current name is stupid and he may look too much like Perkins, but he's cute and it sounds like he might be a good match for Dita.

I think East Coast (particularly in the Northeast) suburbs are different than those in a lot of the country. They were always sort of self-sustaining towns and small cities.

Yeah, I have no problem carrying $100 worth of stuff from Target. Although I usually take the bus home.

The suburbs I lived in outside of Philly were not very walkable - one had a small walkable downtown but we didn't live anywhere near it.

I enjoyed the walkability of Bethlehem, PA just this weekend! But I don't know where non-students actually live.

If my mother just sent me an email saying that she just found out that one of a work friend's two daughters has breast cancer and that she isn't sure which, but she guess it's the one "who, like you, does not have the protection offered by child bearing", am I allowed to tell her to STFU?
