to anyone who has ever wondered what it's like to hang with an almost four year old.

gnarls barkley: run

if you should find yoursef, say, frantically packing for vacation, this song really helps move things along. see you when i get back.

best quote by a french chick in a movie

"his passion stirs my mind. his words leave me blind."

-roxane from 'cyrano de bergerac'

"it's so hard," i said, the sweat dripping down my chest and onto my shoulders.

"what?" the girl next to me whispered.

"this pose. it's so hard."

"what do you mean?"

"you know, to hold your heart out so far. for this long. it's so hard."

"i know, i know," she whispered.

a touch of the 'blaine' eye

this never fails to get an audible laugh from me. i'm going to practice mr. blaine's hypnostare on harper and see if i can get her to do exactly what i want.

why i love my job: #17

this comes from my client, rick, at today's meeting:

"so i was in costco last week. and they have nutella. i picked it up and looked at it. you know it comes from canada. what's up with that?"

smooth

this is the conversation i overheard today by harper and her schoolmate, dillon. she is three and he is five.


"bye dillon!"

"bye harper!"

"hey harper, you wanna come over for a playdate? i have a hot tub."

"sure!"

i love the way the man's hand looks on that woman's back.
