I'm trying to think...

Okay, I think I just realized that I might be the first person in my family who made it to age 30 without any kids, either of my own or that I married into. Does that seem right to those of you who are reading this? That's sort of interesting to me. I was going to tell you guys about what I thought about last night's Project Runway, and to get all excited about this year's Amazing Race, and ask anyone if they watch Pushing Daisies or Mad Men or if they're excited about football season, but I got all distracted. I thought, "I wonder what the people who read this did last night? Did it involve poopy diapers, or arguing with a six-year-old about how cake isn't a good dinner? Was there mac and cheese or chicken nuggets? Was there that heart-stopping terror that even as an aunt or cousin you get a hint of when a kid misses a step going up stairs?"

My life does sometimes involve mac and cheese, but it generally costs more than $8 or more per serving and we never eat it at home. As for the rest, yeah, none of that for us.

Edit: Okay, so Jenny asked what I did on Monday, and this is actually a story kind of worth telling (if she had asked about Tuesday, I would have had nothing to say). So, Paul works at the company of a guy he went to college with, who's married to a woman he went to college with. Paul and George and Catherine decided it had been awhile since we had gotten together, and so they decide that Paul and I would go over to George and Catherine's this week (they have kids, so they couldn't come to us). So on Monday, we arrive at 5 and ring their doorbell, and Catherine is totally confused. Because, see, she thought we were coming on Wednesday. So I said into the intercom, "Okay, then, we'll come over on Wednesday, see you then," but she buzzed us up instead.

We had a very nice evening with them (chased their kids around, ate some pizza, played a game). The question when we got home was, "Who was wrong, Paul or Catherine?" Yeah, it was Paul. He had conflated the "5" in the arrival time with the date. And that, in a nutshell, is why I keep the social calendar.
