How to have a dollhouse with rowdy boys:

When my friend Dawn gave me this amazing dollhouse I was in heaven.
And I tried very hard to get my boys to play doll house with me.
We took action figures, playmobiles, and small spidermen and tried to play house.
I explained that we would play house and tuck the babies in
and cook a meal and decorate the home.

It has never really worked.
They seem to use it as a jumping off point or fortress for aforementioned plastic figures.
They won't play house with me.
They both have a doll and are very loving, but really want to bash things together instead of decorate tiny kitchens.
UGH.

So- we made a cool bookcase.
We decided to compromise.
I think it looks lovely and is practical.
I still have my dollhouse.

I dont know when I noticed life was life at my expense

I am in love with a new magazine. I have spent the week reading it each night in the bathtub until it is crinkly crisp and brittle.

The Sun is ad free and so full of rich stories and poetry and essays and OMG I just love it.
The best part for me is the readers write section where they ask readers to write in on topics they announce. Kinda like a call for experts on a theme without boundaries.
This month was "Finding Out" and the shorts ranged from homosexuality to infidelity to joy to the crappy moment where you lose yr invincible skin.
Amazing. Frank. Raw. Perfect.
I think you might like it.
I love it so much I wanna marry it
or at least be inappropriate with it in the bathtub.
