The closer we get to leaving for NYC the more stressed-out I feel

...because of everything I need to do before we leave. And I am really, really tired.

Today on the way to work, Rachel informed me that Delly sleeps in her bedroom in a blue bed. But then I got confused -- Delly apparently works in Northeast Portland and lives in Salem! When I pointed out that discrepancy to Rachel, she couldn't explain it. What gives?!?!

Tonight as we were almost home, I was listening to a great interview on "Fresh Air" with Tina Fey. She was talking about how supportive her parents were, and how when she told them she wanted to go into entertainment for a career they could have said, "why don't you be an entertainment LAWYER?" but they didn't.

Then Rachel piped up, "I wanna be an entertainment lawyer TOO. Can you take me there someday? It sounds like fun!"

I was speechless. How do you reply to something like that?

"I love piges and bunnies and rabbits!" Rachel told me tonight. "What do you like, Mommy?"
"I like rabbits," I replied.
"I like pigs," Rachel repeated. "And bunnies."
(Let's hope she doesn't beg us to go the urban farming route and raise...Vietnamese potbellied pigs!)
