My good friend, Amanda, was in town from Brooklyn this week and had never met Aubrey so made plans to visit me and also meet Aubrey immediately. She was completely enamored from the start. During dinner we were discussing life and jobs, etc. etc.
Amanda: Well, my parents' said when I have kids...
Me: Wait. I thought you didn't want to have kids.
Amanda: Well. I've sort of changed my mind lately. I mean. I know I'm not intellectually or emotionally ready to have kids. But everytime I see a baby I can literally feel my ovaries quiver.
Ironic choice of words given Ingrid's assessment of Aubrey's impact on women just a few days earlier.

She'll Understand in 21 Years
This story is old. Really old at this point. But I never told it and it's worth telling.
You see, during our trips to Maryland both for Katie Mason's wedding shower and then her actual wedding - we were accompanied by my good friend Michelle. Riding in a car with Michelle was amazing. Even though we spent two years together in college, I guess I had never realized we had so much to talk about. But the hours flew by with her there. We didn't even bother turning on the radio and searching for a station as we navigated our way across state lines, we had plenty of conversation to fill the air.
However, on the way home from the wedding Michelle was a little under the weather. So, instead of sitting in the front seat and chatting it up with me - she sat in the backseat next to Aubrey and repeatedly spilled the contents of her stomach into a plastic bag.
I'm sure Aubrey had no idea what was going on but someday....in 21 years or so...maybe she'll have an incling

HOT!
It is finally hot here. Except now it's really hot and humid. And I feel disgusting at all times. But I'm not complaining. I am super happy to see summer.
I just need to invest in a really big fan. or possibly several really big fans for our apartment. These window fans just aren't cutting it. According to our thermostat it's 84 degrees in here. Gross.
This warm weather also makes me not want to go to work. Ever. Aubrey is getting so active lately and I basically want to play with her all day long.
Ok. That's it. I'm too hot to think.
Check back tomorrow after I've purchased a fan and have cooled my brain down a little.
and just because she's so adorable. I'll leave you with this.
