Children
Many people have been asking me lately if I would ever want kids (answer: don't know, doubt it), and why not. I try to explain, but haven't honed my reasons down to a fine point by point summary. Here is the summary, written by someone else, but it's pretty much exactly my reasons. With one exception: when I see a kitten, I do want it.
Seriously. Children can be cute. If they belong to someone else. I adore Siri and Grace (in fact, my explanation to Sara of not wanting kids was that hers are too cool), and am sure I will adore Helen and Morgan. But I cannot imagine having a child.
Eating: pretzel rolls with balsamic dijon mustard dip. Watching: Friday Night Lights season 2. Listening: Smashing Pumpkins.
