and because it's important to laugh at our own ridiculousness, here are some of the best things i've heard lately, in list form, of course:
1. me: the second we sat down, i just said, “let’s
just agree to split the check.”
molly: way to suck the romance out of the
room.
yeah.
yeah, i really need to work
on this.
2. anna: the woman in front of
me is paying with a check. excuse me, 1999 called, they want their form of
payment back.
3. my mom: well, it's just that...you can be quite formidable at times.

4. danielle: i'm re-reading Extremely Loud/Incredibly Close and it's making my day better. it really is one of those books that sucks you in to every moment. i underline all of the parts i love and i want to be able to write a story like that one day. that book makes me want to be a writer.
5. amy eileen: your blog should have a soundtrack. or a scent. lilacs, or vanilla, or 'bookstore.'
6. molly: i'm sure your kids will be the type of kids
who have plaid umbrellas that match their plaid rain boots.
me: you bet your ass. my kids will be
so chic. have you seen the j.crew crewcuts catalog? it's too much. it's too
much for words.
7. katie: i opened a j.crew card this weekend. i just couldn't help it anymore. that's what she said.
8. an online magazine where i submitted one of my essays: We are very interested in your Let Her Go piece. Our theme for the spring issue is going to be rebirths/reinventing yourself and I think this is perfect.
9. laura, talking about what she chooses to share on her fabulous blog: i'm confident that ranting without reason simply isn't the way to go.
another thing i really need to work on.
10. "i'm glad i know you."
after work, i get to meet a very good friend for what i'm sure will be a very good hamburger with lettuce, pickles, and extra onions.
grateful feels so much better than bitter. remember that, rhi.

addendum: bethenny frankel, about her daughter: i want her to be soft and sweet and nice and not hard and a survivor.
