"I am convinced that most people do not grow up. We marry and dare to have children and call that growing up. I think what we do is mostly grow old. We carry accumulation of years in our bodies, and on our faces, but generally our real selves, the children inside, are innocent and shy as magnolias."
- Maya Angelou

I could't agree more with Miss Angelou.

Keeping with the subject of growing old, Abigail is going to be four months old at the end of this month, and Jackson is going to be 3 in a few weeks.

What is this madness?

"All the world is birthday cake, so take a piece, but not too much."

Happy birthday to my wonderful, radiant, beautiful, stupendous, amazing wife.

"Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you."
- Langston Hughes

Langston old pal, I couldn't agree with you more.

[Ally]

I think we should talk. About things.

I can provide cookies.

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living."
- Dr.Seuss

I'm starting to think I enjoy the books I read to Jacks more than he does. I spent most of yesterday walking around repeating:

You can make a quick trick chick stack.
You can make a quick trick clock stack.

Dr.Seuss is a crazy old bugger. Who knows how much acid that man had to drop to think of Green Eggs and Ham.

Why are the eggs green? I do not blame Sam - I would be wary of green eggs as well, but that dude still needs some serious counseling.

I AM BEYOND PROUD TO INTRODUCE OUR LITTLE PRANKSTER TO THE WORLD!

LOOK AT HIM, PRETENDING TO LOOK ALL COY AND INNOCENT.

I AM RUNNING ON MORE COFFEE THAN A HUMAN BEING SHOULD CONSUME IN THEIR ENTIRE LIFETIME, SO DEAL WITH ME AS I BEAM WITH PRIDE AND EXCITEMENT AND WRITE IN CAPITAL LETTERS.

Giada is doing well - tired, but well. I'm sure she would be writing in bigger, bolder letters if the healers let her have her journal, but I'm doing my best to relay how happy we both are to have him in our lives.

All I know is that I'm going to need a nap when I crash from this caffeine rush.

BUT UNTIL THEN...RELISH IN THE WONDER OF MY UNNECESSARILY LARGE TYPING AND THE EPIC AWESOMENESS THAT IS JACKSON BRODERICK DORNY!

Scenario:

My wife was kidnapped by her best friend. Said best friend got into a fight with her husband, stole Giada, and took her to Ibiza for a week. This vacation is sponsored by: said husband of said best friend of said wife.

Does this seem normal to you? Am I the only one who thinks this woman needs to be institutionalized for making rash decisions?

22 doesn't feel too much different than 21...

Bummer.

"Not a bad bit of rescuing, huh? You know, sometimes I amaze even myself."
- Han Solo

Han Solo is the epitome of cool.

And that is exactly why I am going to be him for Halloween.

Now all I need is a blaster pistol...

Have I mentioned lately how much I love you and how awesome you are?

"He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser, sees newly every time he looks at the object beloved, drawing from it with his eyes and his mind those virtues which it possesses."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

There really isn't much more to say, yeah?

[Sebastian]

Uh.

I need to talk to you about something.

[/Sebastian]

[Liz]

I still can't believe I'm getting married.

I'm getting married. This is...whoa.

I mean, it's a good whoa, don't get me wrong but it's still, ya know...surreal?

"Patterning your life around other's opinions is nothing more than slavery."
-Unknown

Does this tattoo make me look fat? Because right about now, I'm really feeling like a cow.

If you didn't get the symbolism there, I should punch you in the face. And I'm in a bad enough mood to actually do it, so don't try me.

[ALLY AND SAM]

Can I...talk to you about something?

Like, whenever.

Preferably soonish though, if that matters. Ya know, if my preference matters at all.

[/ALLY AND SAM]

[LIZ]

I THINK I AM HAVING HEART PALPITATIONS.

"When people are laughing, they're generally not killing each other."
-Alan Alda

You are a wise man, Alan Alda. I like the way you think.

And on that note, my sides actually hurt from laughing so hard.

Thank you, Giada. Thank you.

We just found out about Alexandria.

She's just found out about Alexandria.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do, or say. She's hysterical.

She locked herself in the bedroom, and I've tried everything but she's just...lost it.

"Get happiness out of your work or you may never know what happiness is."
-Elbert Hubbard

Burger Boy has retired his cape.

Oddly enough, that sentance makes me kind of sad, but the fact that I quit my job does not.
