Just before I left for the office this morning, Gil offered to pour me a cup of coffee.

Him: “Just in case they’re not brewing today.”
Me: “Hon, if I’m there, “they’re” brewing. I make the coffee around there most days.”
Him: “Oh, yeah. I read that on your blog.”

It’s writing like this that makes me want to hang up my stupid keyboard and just post one fat link to Julie’s blog. I’m done. The best has been put out there for all to choke on. My only regret now is that I cannot marry her myself and bear our children.

P.S. Am enormously grateful not to have said any of these things to another woman, either before or after going through infertility treatment. This, more than anything else, helps me believe that I am a good person. Crikey.

Oh, come on. You knew it was only a matter of time!

Things that made me laugh today:

A field full of six-year-olds playing t-ball. I learned that no many how many are on base at the time, if the ball rolls through most of the opposing team members’ legs, you can never really predict who will make it to home plate first. I witnessed two separate three-runner pile-ups at third.

My three-year-old repeatedly calling me a pompous windbag. As in, “Stop staying that to me, you pompous windbag!” And, “Well, you’re a pompous windbag!” And, “Doh! You pompous windbag!” Thank you, Disney.

Sitting with a mom whose oldest shares a birthday with my oldest and ended up on the same team with both dads as coaches. We hadn’t seen each other since we took Logan out of day care when Dylan was born. We also learned that each of our subsequent children were born within months of each other, at the same intervals, and were the same sex. (And that both of our thirds, our little girls, were whoopsie-babies.)

Watching her three-year-old escape at least a dozen times into the outfield, and once into the infield. It was hilarious. It wasn’t my kid.

And one thing that made me smile inwardly:

Finding my coordinates.

A) We all gotta eat, right?
B) Will be loads of fun watching Rumsfeld squirm.
C) Job security for Jon Stewart, Leno, etc., can’t be a bad thing.
D) Almost makes you remember Cochrane and OJ with nostalgia, doesn’t it?
E) Wouldn’t it be funny if [giggle] this Verges character entered actual WMDs as Exhibit A, and they had a little gift tag on them that said, “With love from your friends at the CDC”?
F) Klaus Barbie and Carlos the Jackal… they weren’t complete idiots. This guy must have cojones like cannon balls, dontcha think? That’s gotta be worth something.
