- I walked way too much yesterday, and I'm horribly achy today, but I did manage it, without whining too too much or holding people up too too badly.
- I got to meet some of the most fun people in the world, yesterday.
- The TCM display at Grand Central Station. Seeing it online is nice, but being right there in front of it is magical.
- Seeing the New York Public Library again for the first time in about a million years.
- That tiny break dancer outside the library was so sweet he made my teeth ache. I gave him my ten percent for the day, and it was worth every penny.
- We had a great breakfast and a great lunch, and my lunch portion was so huge that I was able to tote most of it home, eat the remaining fries for dinner, and still have half my baguette left over for today.
- This conversation:
The Mom: I showed my husband how to use it, but he wouldn't believe it till my son came over and showed him the same exact thing.
Me: It's because you have no penis.
The Mom: Why would I want one of those? They make you stupid. - Rosie, the Last Dog On Earth.
- Being out of Connecticut, where it apparently rained all day long.
- Not having to go out today if it decides to rain all day long again.
- Quin understands the concept of Evil Golden Children who, if you get sick, they immediately have to get sicker because heaven forbid your being the center of attention for five lousy seconds.
- Lisa understands the concept of leaving the house with smooth hair and having a Roseanne Roseannadanna explosion about five minutes later. Hair Wars: Revenge of the Humidity.
- I can have a nap later. I spent a lot of years working weekends or carrying a pager that could go off any second. There's no end to the amount of appreciation I have for being able to nap, for no good reason other than that I can.
- Everyone loved my fingernails.
- I love my fingernails.
- I petted so many cute dogs on Bleecker Street yesterday I felt like I was judging at Crufts.
- Coming back to Connecticut, where there were just as many puddles, but none of them carried with them the distinct odor of eau du diaper.
