My brain seems to only be working in tiny snippets these days. Sounds about right.

– I tend to think people are older than they are and then when I find out they’re actually younger, I get worried…Do people think I’m older than I am? I mean, I hope people don’t think I’m 40 (NOT THAT THERE’S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT), but I recently thought a girl who was 27 was in her mid-30s. She looked about 22, so I think it’s more a personality/demeanor thing, but still. I would like to just look and act my age. Not younger, not older. (But when I’m older, I think it goes without saying I would be on board with looking younger.)

– I abhor baby-talk and do not/have never baby talked around LG and yet she calls water “wa-wa.” I can’t imagine the school calls water “wa-wa,” so I guess it’s just an innate thing, but still. Why not just “wa”? Anyway, every time she says “wa-wa,” I say “wah-TER,” in the same tone Dr. Evil asks Goldmember, “Oh, you mean FAH-THER?”

– I have a running list (in my head) of celebrity couples who I never want to break up (as well as a list of celebrity breakups I’ll never get over.) It’s totally silly, but whatever, I can’t help but get attached to some of these people.

Never break up: Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith (although a quick perusal of Google headlines tells me they’re in an open marriage?), Ken and Lisa from RHOBH, Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr., and I know there are a handful more, but of course I can’t remember on the spot.

Still not over it: Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe (I know they’re totally over it, but I’m still not, whatever), Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams (although I would approve of Ryan with Emma Stone, you know, in case they’re looking for my approval), and again, I can’t remember anymore right now.

– Mad Men starts back on Sunday, so I think I should get on planning my menu. Last year we did steak and potatoes and some sort of wedge salad or creamed green and gin martinis. I think the gin martinis should stay (obvs), but I’m on the lookout for a good ’60s throwback meal. I’m thinking something with a puffed pastry?

I hope everyone has a happy Friday and happier weekend! I am sick-ish for the one millionth time in the last six months, but am going to pretend I’m not. I have tomatoes to get in the ground (thanks E!) and obviously that gin isn’t going to martini itself.
