i had a little 12 year old sucking up to me yesterday. how cute was that. i felt like a mother-in-law. at 40??? hello, my mentality is barely beyond the teenage years either! i don't think i'm quite ready, but it's so adorable. my problem is, and has always been, that i take things way too seriously. i really should butt out and keep my mouth shut. industrial strength cellophane tape, anybody? there are so many things i wished i had never done or never said, or i wished i had handled differently. sigh, i totally suck at communication.

puppy love. well, i think it's sweet and cute that he is so devoted to little missy. good for him.
