I am actually 100% offended

mila and I met with a stationer today. I walked him through what we wanted. I answered all his questions about which shade of white we would prefer for the stock. paper weight, typeface and envelope style were all chosen to my exacting specification. we flipped through stacks of paper as I passed final judgement.

meanwhile, mila sat silent, wondering if she could be excused to go read magazines in the adjacent bookstore.

as we wrapped up, this otherwise pleasant stationer had only one blank left on his form - a contact name. so he turns to mila - who had made no comment on ink colour, and remained similarly mute during our discussion of the reply cards - and asks for her name.

MISANDRY! PROFOUND, VILE MISANDRY! never have I been so insulted in my life. I cannot believe he filed our account under mila's name. HE DID NOT EVEN WRITE MY NAME DOWN AS AN ALTERNATE CONTACT. WHAT DOES HE THINK MILA IS GOING TO SAY IF HE CALLS HER TO DISCUSS THE MERITS OF LETTERPRESS VERSUS ENGRAVING? I AM NOT EVEN SURE SHE KNOWS WHAT THOSE WORDS MEAN.

how did I live without a monogrammed play rug?

restoration hardware,

love your new baby & child collection. I am so glad that mackenzie will finally be able to get a $1200 canopy bed! also, I think she will really enjoy your organic onesies. and thank goodness for your 600-thread-count egyptian cotton sheets - mackenzie can't STAND synthetics!

p.s. can't wait to pick up those damask print hat boxes. little mac has absolutely nowhere to store her hats! her hat from last year's ascot looks worse than trudy's botched face lift hahahaha pass the mimosas

not kosher

cbc radio 2 promises a live performance by "klezmerovitz" tomorrow night. I think I had better go deprogram the cbc2 radio preset just to be safe. truly, if there is anything worse than klezmer, it is live klezmer.
