Like Mother Teresa, only better.
I’m up and down this week but I’m trying to stay up because I have work to do and I need to keep myself from falling into the hole of depression. One of the things that save me are books. So can you help? I need funny books. Ridiculous, hysterical, silly…
Tell me the funniest book you ever read. Pretty please.
me: LOOK WHAT CAME IN THE MAIL.
Victor: WTF. I’m on a conference call.
me: I’m thinking of calling her Daenerys TAILgaryen. Because she has a tail.
Victor: That’s terrible.
me: Marmot of Dragons.
Victor: I’m literally working here.
me: FURst of her name.
Victor: Stop.
me: I can’t come up with a better Game of Thrones squirrel pun. It’s nuts.
Victor: Seriously?
me: I’m so sorry. I walnut do it again.

My friend Maile sent me a text in the middle of the night and it reminded me how important it is to have friends who get you and who also don’t understand some of the basic principals of being a woman.
My doctor refused to give me lasers in my vagina. Click here for full story.
It occurred to me just now that I may have used poor phrasing in the description of this moment.
Disclaimer: This isn’t a funny post. I just need advice if you have a middle schooler.
So Hailey got invited to take the ACT as a 7th grader and she did really well on the English part (WHOOP!) so the Duke Talent Identification Program invited her to take estudies this summer and she’s very excited about it which I’m pretty sure is proof that she was switched at birth.
And I want to support her bizarre need to take tests and classes for no damn reason whatsoever even though I totally don’t understand it but it’s pretty expensive (like a grand) which seems pricey for one summer class you take on your own computer so I want to see if there’s anything better out there before I enroll Hailey. What’s the best thing your kid ever did during the summer? Did they take the TIP ecourses? Did they take another online class that isn’t crazy expensive or that at least gives college credit?
(Usually she does drama classes but she’s starting to feel like she’s too old but she’s too young to volunteer, and she does Hacker and robotic classes but she’s usually one of the only girls and that can be hard.)
Open for suggestions.
