I always thought I would swear on the Constitution.
But it seems all those words don't mean what I thought they meant.
What does that leave? One of my law school texts? Black's Law Dictionary? A science or health text? How Things Work Volumes, I to IV? Jonathan Livingston Seagull?

omg. Kat Abughazaleh just posted that if she's elected, she'll swear in on a copy of Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower.
If you were elected to public office (never mind whether you'd ever actually run), what book would you swear in on?

I ordered 4 sets of matching family pjs and fuzzy socks from Old Navy.
I received 3 sets of matching family pjs, all the socks, and 1 pair of Mandala women's slim petite size small scrub pants, in melon.

14 just requested I buy more fuzzy socks, which is the closest I've gotten to a request for a bear hug since he became a teenager.

Why yes I did just have cinnamon toast and hot cocoa for lunch.

I've been semi-surprised for quite some time that they didn't decide to forgive student loans given the position they've taken on other things.
If they were looking for a group of disenchanted voters that might warm up, it's a big block that's ripe for the taking and would boost consumer spending.

a thing to ask yourself re: the GOP's electoral position is what could happen over the next year that could *improve* its position? and what could trump do, plausibly, that might *boost* his numbers with the public?

I hadn't ever watched Stranger Things until this holiday weekend when I started watching it with the boys.
They thought it was super unrealistic because the characters' parents never had any idea where anyone was.
Quite the ethical conundrum on whether or not to let them know this was very normal.

14 was very nice this morning. Suspiciously nice. Eddie Haskell nice. Washing laundry. Seeking out chores. Showing me how much homework he got done. Double hugs. Offering me tea.
