Dental Hygienist: My friend wrote a book but I think she got rejected maybe 4 times, so she gave up. I can't even imagine. Have you ever been rejected? Me, mouth filled with dental tools: *chokes for eternity*

Currently more snacks on snacks on snacks than stacks on stacks on stacks.

I just discovered that the only appropriate song to which a toy horse can gallop is Heart's "Barracuda."

Always happy to find the public library bustling with activity. Never happy when someone has claimed "my" table and even my second choice seat by the window.

Just removed my daughter from a Boba wrap and developed a whole new respect for the birthing process.
