1. Emma has become besotted with Supernatural though she has only seen one or two episodes from way into the series. She is constantly looking at fanart and gifs and is listening to tons of classic rock on her tablet in her bedroom. It is adorable.

Yesterday, I asked Fiona, "Who do you love?" And Fiona said, "Castiel." And I said, "What?" And Emma said, "Oh, yeah. I taught her to say that because he is totally the best." And I said, "How do you know since you've never seen the show at all?" And Emma said, "He just is! But guess what I really ship, Mom? It's Destiel!" And then she laughed and laughed and told me all about her favorite Destiel fan art.

Then today at dinner when I told her the Civil War trailer had come out, she was all, "Who's gonna be on who's side? I mean, it's Bucky and Steve, obviously, but where do the others fall? Tony and Bruce are totally science BFFs, but Tony and Steve are BFF, too, so it'll be really hard watching them on opposite sides."

I explained to her that I didn't see a whole lot of evidence for Tony and Steve being BFF so much as teammates who are often slightly antagonistic with one another to which she countered, "But they are! They are! They're just those kinda friends who go Meh at each other in public but love each other behind the scenes. You know, like me and Callie."

Later during a discussion of how hard it is for Steve to find a girlfriend because no one understands him (her words, not mine), Emma said, "I guess I could ship him with Bucky, but he needs some more characterization and personality than he got in the other movies. We'll see." Then she announced that Tony is probably too old to be anyone's boyfriend.

So, to recap, my baby is using the word ship independently of my direction, and is clearly going to eventually claim the title of One Wanker to Rule Them All.

1. I was supposed to up my daily step count to 13,000 on the 9th, but that was our spring break, so I only managed to meet that goal for the first three days of the week. I decided not to worry so much about my count for the remainder of the week because I wanted to actually enjoy being on spring break (which for me involves a great deal of lounging around). I did manage to walk 10,000 steps or more the rest of the week, though, so win! ( CUT FOR TALK OF WEIGHT LOSS )

2. My perfume samples have arrived from Surrender to Chance! Emma and I have a pact that I won’t test scents without her, so I have resorted to uncapping the vial of Comme des Garcons Black every chance I get and sniffing my fingers surreptitiously for hours afterwards. OMG, y’all, I can’t wait to get this on my skin. On my fingers, at least, it smells like salt and vetiver and the most amazing incense and leather like I’ve always wanted a “leather” perfume to smell like but never has before. I haven’t been this excited about a perfume since I uncapped Chanel Sycomore. I really, really hope this smells as amazing on me as I want it to. *glee glee glee*

3. Josh and I are coordinating a conference and we rock. We are doing amazing work, my friends, which we are cementing by hand writing thank you notes to everyone who helps us because Lorraine is no fool. :) We also each got glowing work evaluations and today received notice that our institution will be upgraded to university status come July. In a few months, I will be a tenured Associate Professor of English at a four year research institution! Keep your fingers crossed for Josh as he’ll go up for tenure in the fall. I think things are looking good, but it’s always nerve wracking.

4. Today, Fiona and I were playing outside and she started petting this cat statue we have on the doorstep. And then she said while grinning like a loon (OMG, if I had gotten a video, we’d be internet famous right now): Soft kitty, warm kitty, wittle ball fur, happy kitty, seepy kitty, purr purr purr purr purr (lots of purrs).
