She postulates the word “ironic” needs to be staunchly defended for what it should mean, namely “saying one thing and meaning another”, because there is no good replacement for “ironic” once it gets watered down to mean a whole slew of other things.

Alas, I think Patricia is fighting a hopeless battle, and I think she knows it, for when in a publication upholding supreme literary standards, such as this, “ironic” and “coincidental” become synonyms, she must surely concede defeat.

It makes a heart merry to think of that, even if happy was not the emotion at the time!

Grace is grabbing at anything with gusto, and has now grabbed my food several times so it will be fun to introduce food to her after Christmas!

Blessings,
Kellli

I have gotten 2 naps in today! 8-8:30 and 1-3:30, but I’m not bragging!!!!!!

Friday and Saturday Lisa and I agreed to babysit a 5-month-old for a family here in return for them babysitting for us on short notice and at times and the baby cried almost non-stop. Not sure we’ll be doing that again……lol….At east today is the shortest day of the year if its any consolation.
