@washingtonpost Congratulations to Ali! (And shame on the Tonys for making her watch from backstage - they should have installed a ramp. And the theater itself should already BE accessible! Don’t @ me about old building, $$, etc.)

And by 'hum' I don't mean humming an actual tune, or even made up music. It's just hum noise.

[BookMama @BookMama1]

There are two people at work who hum all. the . time. It drives me nuts. Makes me want to pull my hair out.

Thank you @JocelynBenson

I've been reading @EW weekly since 1993 and subscribing since 1998. Will miss getting it in the mail every Saturday!

Of all the days to mess up the muffler on my van! (Went over a high curb, oops, and knocked it.) 18YO graduates today, have to pick up 9YO & 13YO at the same time he has to be dropped off, etc. (Luckily my folks are coming and agreed to pick up 9 and 13 with me.)

The new book by @sarahdessen was waiting in my mailbox when I got home today! I’m in the middle of a long bio (which I’m enjoying) but this is next - I’m starting it as soon as I finish the bio! (‘First,’ about Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. Very interesting!)

[BookMama @BookMama1]

@HeyMaiLady Ah, same as in Michigan then.

[BookMama @BookMama1]

@RepKatiePorter *got, not git. Sigh.

[BookMama @BookMama1]

@RepKatiePorter Thanks for this specific example! I git this email from Chase last week - actually read the whole thing but didn’t realize the importance of this opt-out part. Will do it!

[Team Katie @TeamKatiePorter]

🚨CHASE CREDIT CARD HOLDERS🚨Check your inboxes. @jpmorgan sent an email on Friday that *in the fine print* forces you into arbitration if you ever try to sue them and bans you from participating in any class action lawsuit against them. This is wrong. https://t.co/FsxP2pVz07

@jenniferweiner One of my favorite parts of my favorite book! I was similar to Francie on Saturdays (with a book and a carefully selected snack). Now I read in bed or in ‘my spot’ on the couch. Was hoping the article would include a pic of your reading nook!

[BookMama @BookMama1]

@A2_Logan @clubob9 @A2schools @A2SchoolsSuper Can’t wait to see what my third grader brings home. Hopefully not any of the books we donated. ;)

[BookMama @BookMama1]

@MollyJongFast An ABRIDGED version. LOL

[BookMama @BookMama1]

@shrinkthinks I totally get that. Isn’t it sad that his hair looks more normal/natural that way? (The rest of him looks unkempt, which I DO judge.)

[BookMama @BookMama1]

@shrinkthinks I generally try not to judge people by appearance, but I have to say it’s nice to see his hair combed normally instead of the usual giant combover. I realize it’s hat hair, of course, but still.

[BookMama @BookMama1]

@DemocratWit Most of mine look like this. When I’m out of postcards (or cutting costs) I use index cards, which cost about 3 cents each. (Oh, my 8YO did the one on the left.)

[BookMama @BookMama1]

@ThomasJTobin1 Ah, thanks for the reminder of one of the reasons I left the Catholic church (and religion in general).
