Usually, I want kids right away. I want about six or eight of them, right now, totally ready, no problem, pile 'em on, send me the crib lizards, it's time. I love kids, I love hanging with them, chatting with them, telling them stories. Kids are grand, and I'm well trained in looking after them.

However, a while ago, I experienced a day, maybe a few days, where I just wasn't feeling it. I'm not ready to give up being the center of attention. I'm not done being taken care of by others. I'm still a kid.

I drew this.





I'll do a short one:

* watching dogs chew
* soft cotton dresses that make me look skinnier
* ketchup
* sand in my hair
* mild sunburn
* the way The Boyfriend gets so excited over making me a mixed CD that he re-does the song order and the cover art, like, six times
* Dan Akroyd's unlikely but potent hotness
* experiments with lime chicken and pineapple
* tiny fat birds that hop
* Dad's pictures of the Ohio blizzard
* bagpipes and kilts
* phone calls from himself
* the "Art of Bone" book my dad just sent me secretly, which is far too awesome for me to explain to you (thanks, Pop!)
* Suki high on catnip
* selling EVERY SINGLE ONE of the Snap Crackle Pop booklets at Jelly's
* the dirty guilty satisfying rock of AC/DC
* driving and shopping with Lily before work
* my mom's banana bread. Holy macaroni.
* my new DVD from Amazon, the amazing and barely-in-print Dr. Suess double feature, the Lorax and the little known but still awesome Pontoffel Pock and his magic piano! Y'all gotta see this shit.
* Whitney, Sara, Liz, Jen, Ashley, Mo, Juliet, Becca Lee... to name a few. And Lily of course.


Love you all!

"Pontoffel Pock and his magic piano"

Oh my god oh my god. Is this the movie where the main character has a piano that takes him to different historical times? I've been looking for this for years! So jealous.

Actually, you're probably thinking of a different one. It's a Dr. Seuss movie, one of those 1970s animated shorts, about this dude who works in a pickle factory but he gets fired and so these dudes give him a piano that will take him anywhere in the world.

Sorry if that's not the one you mean; who knew there was more than ne magic piano flick?

Actually, as soon as you said that he got fired from the pickle factory (awesome), that jogged my brain. It sounds like it's exactly the same movie. I saw it a few times when I was a kid and loved it. How awesome would it be to have a piano that can take you anywhere? I'm gonna have to track a copy of this down, too.

I got mine used on Amazon.com. Just type in "Pontoffel Pock" or even "The Lorax" because my copy is a Lorax DVD with the other as a second feature.

I love kids, and I want a whole mess of them, but... not today. ;)

I keep forgetting that you folks are freezing up north. Sending you all the warm weather that can be spared from here.

And thanks! Kinda cool that so many people bought the book, especially folks who don't even know me!

We all love you, too. I also love your depiction of The Boyfriend in this :) He looks utterly terrified.

Your list is pure goodness! Especially the SCP sales! You're turning into quite the little business woman. I'm so proud!

He's my favorite part of the drawing. ;) He likes my cartoon of him better than the actual him, but I think that's just low self-esteem.

I was surprised about selling all those books! I may have to make more.

what ever happened to being afraid of having kids? As far as I remember, you were horrified of the idea because you thought you'd be a bad parent. Even though you worked in a daycare and were probably one of the best with the kids...

Are you kidding me? I've wanted kids ever since I was... a kid. You must be thinking about someone else, cause I want a whole mess of them.
