I don't think I've ever loved

to sleep more.

I would give up pancakes for sleep.

And Tigger, too

Chloe's been in bed since 7:20pm and with Drew gone for the week, I've been spending the past few hours of Thanksgiving Eve watching Pocahontas and Winnie-the-Pooh. Right now it almost (almost) feels like a typical day from my pre-married, pre-mom life.

It is with some pride and sheepishness

that I announce my amazing ability to finish an entire bag of Goldfish crackers in one, sometimes two sittings.

I was the worst

Sally Singer, editor

"I'm not a writer, I'm an editor. I have always been an editor. I love pushing it just enough to take readers someplace they didn't know they were going. And I see patterns--in pictures, in text, in fashion, in everything. I see narratives everywhere."

David Sedaris on Dorothy Parker and humor

"Dorothy Parker is someone who I'd been led to believe was funny. But I find her really sad; her stories are just really sad. 'Big Blonde' is heartbreaking.
And I think people find her funny because humor needs to cling to something.
I used to go to these shows at Second City, and I would laugh and laugh and laugh, but then afterward I could never remember a single thing I had laughed about. I felt as if I'd had a really nice time, but I think humor needs some aspect of tragedy in order to be memorable. The funny things I remember all have a twinge of sorrow to them."
