I do believe in some of that stuff that say about birth order.  I buy into even more now that JD has been around long enough to see where he fits in with the crew.  Linus is in the middle, and he is surprisingly protective and caring toward JD.  I suppose this shocks me because more likely that not he is going to smack the snot out of his big brother the moment I turn my back.  Oh, and Linus?  You cannot plead innocence when I could actually HEAR the sound of your hand against your brother’s body.

My grandma warned me about men’s work.  “You keep lifting/shoveling/digging like you do, and you will feel it when you are my age.  That’s men’s work!”  She’s probably right, but I am stubborn and impatient, so I end up getting myself into all sorts of mischief I really shouldn’t (there was incident with replacing the toilet seal, and then installing laminate flooring while in my first trimester).

A couple of years ago, like many others, I flew from the “kooky coop” for a bit of friendly banter with “real” people. Don’t throw rotten tomatoes if I once called you my Myspace friend and now you are my IRL friend. Just ask yourself, “How long did that take? Was it really worth it?” Oh, and then don’t delete me.
