She illustrated a “Swan Lake” book today, and read it to me at bedtime. My favorite line was, “One day, it was night, and the witch fell asleep right away, and dreamed of evil ballet dancers.”

Man, are they crap. We got a bunch of towel rods at Target yesterday, and I put them in the bathroom today. They look nice, but man, what crap construction. I should have known I was in for a crap hour when the instructions say to drill a hole “about 1/4in diameter”. “About”? What the [...]
