Sitting in the waiting room of my child's therapist, quietly swiping away tears at A Unified Theory of Fucks. So wry, poignant, and aptly timed in this era of "what the fuck?" and "now what?" and "oh, fuck." Thank you for sharing it!

Mine would probably read: She was comprised of her love for Oregon, cookies and touch of wickedness.

A Christmas Together with the Muppets forever! I grew up with it and my husband doesn’t get it and I play it for joy and also to make him nuts.

Please let us know in advance if you're going to be at events in Seattle! Would have loved to go to the All Fours book club. Did catch Miranda July at Town Hall on her book tour, which was just as wonderful as you'd expect it to be.

Alli: She loved small dogs, gold things, and being delightfully bored.

Molly, I thought you'd like to know this sparked a very lively coffee conversation with my husband this morning, and I'm grateful to now have this conversation starter for upcoming holiday parties!

Although he reports mine needs to be updated to read, "Alli: she really disliked children." 😅

She loved unicorns, rainbows, sparkly shit, and the word “fuck”.

I too, like the run up to Christmas…but not the actual day. It always seems like such a let down…with so much crap to pack up and away! My memorial plaque would go something like this: She loved cooking, feeding and entertain her family and friends. Food is love. She enjoyed her own company and obligation was not in her vocabulary.

“She was the luckiest person she knew.”

I've been feeling pretty much the same way. It's such a complicated soup, and gets moreso every year.

My memorial plaque should probably be:

She loved growing things, petting cats and wandering around.
