I want the Fire Back.- Walk Through the Fire from Once More With Feeling

Fiona:(Singing) I will walk through the fire. I will walk thorough the fire. I will walk through the fire. I will walk through the fire.

Me: (Pause) Fiona! You are the coolest kid ever!

Come on, my favorite song from my favorite episode of my all time favorite show? I am raising a proper geek.

Don't tell fish stories where the people know you; but particularly, don't tell them where they know the fish.-Mark Twain

Fiona: (in a panicked voice from the bathroom) Mommy I need help!

Me: (running in) What's wrong?

Fiona: I need to wash my hands and I don't have any soap.

Me: No problem there is more soap in the world. Here you can use the one you picked out (pulls out new soap with a tropical fish on the label)

Fiona: Oooooooh my hands are gonna smell like fish!

I don't believe in the after life, although I am bringing a change of underwear.-Woody Allen

After her bath

Me: Here put these panties on.

Fiona: No I don't want Toy Story ones. I want Rapunzel panties.

Me: Whell these are the ones I grabed. You can either put these on or go comando.

Fiona: My Barbies go comando.

Me: Well yes that's true.

Meanwhile back at the Hall of Justice.-Superfriends

Email from co-worker 1: Help! Please review (insert boring work info here) must ship out this afternoon.

My email response: Dani to the rescue! When we last met our intrepid hero she was reviewing (insert boring work stuff here). All joking aside, you are approved. And please don't picture me in a cape and tights. (Hits send)

Me: (Turns to co-worker 2) Does co-worker 1 have a sense of humor?

Co-worker 2: Yep.

Me: Oh good.

For years people have been trying to tell me I should try sushi. And I always said, "Yeah, I don't think so." Dave was always on that same page with me so it was pretty easy to avoid.

A couple months ago however Dave had to go to a work lunch at a sushi place and discovered he liked it. He'd been telling me ever since, "I really think you'd like it." I reminded him that I'm the pickiest eater on the planet (actually I recently met someone who makes me look positively adventurous but I don't judge) but he still said he thought I'd like it.

The last couple years I've been branching out trying new things and sometimes discovering I kinda like them (onions on salad, who knew). So I said I'd give it a try.

We went to the same place Dave had enjoyed before.

Our waitress was great.

Fiona had a blast playing with chopsticks.

And you know what?

Sushi is pretty freaking gross!

Gettin crazy with the Cheese Wiz.-Looser by Beck*

Dear man on the powder pink Vespa,

You are either an awesome retro savvy gay man or a super confident straight guy. Either way you are super cool and you made my day. You go powder pink Vespa guy. You go.

Love,
A fellow commuter you made smile.

*This quote's got nothin to do with anything byt there aren't a lot of Vespa quotes out there and I liked this one.

I had to buy pepper spray. 

Don't worry I'm not being stalked or any thing. I'm starting to jog again and we have coyotes in the neighborhood.

Any how this post isn't about wild dogs, or fitness, or personal security.

I just wanted to let you know I may have found my new motto.
