Things that are surprising and terrible:

1. The odd bite of parsnip in my chicken and barley soup

2. Courtney Cox and David Arquette being separated

3. How tight my jeans have become

4. That Marissa doesn’t think Baby and Johnny make it after the movie ends because they don’t have enough in common (ONLY THEIR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER, MARISSA, God.)

5. It costs $419 to fly to New York. $419!  That is $15.52 PER MINUTE.

Obviously these crises demand my immediate attention. Back tomorrow with pictures of the fair.
