Saw Get Him To The Greek last weekend. It wasn't terrible. It had its moments. My new motto is "When life slips you a jeffrey, stroke the furry wall."

A couple of weeks ago Morgan came home from school telling me she invented a new religion at the lunch table. They worship cheese and call themselves the Cheese-its.

I've had some amazing conversations recently with friends and strangers, but for some reason I'm just not interested in writing lately.
