Body image distortian
I've known for a long time now that my cat has a body image problem. He weighs near 20 pounds and he thinks he can fit in a 6" by 12" box. Just not gonna happen, Mav.
However, on the bus this morning I realized that this problem is not just limited to my cat. In general, I think people have no idea how much space they take up. (Either that or they just don't give a damn about anyone else - I prefer to believe the first.) It absolutely floors me to watch people get on to a relatively empty bus (AKA no one standing in the aisle) and stop two feet in from the door while there are still about 70 people trying to get on the bus. It's seriously as if they believe that they are not taking up the aisle. In addition, bus seats are not really that big. When you add in winter coats... there's definite limitations. Yet, day after day I watch people who are much too large for the given seat squeeze themselves in. I really think this must be a body image issue. People just need to believe they don't take up as much space as they do.
Weird.
On a separate note - I leave to see Carl, Kathleen, and Lily first thing tomorrow morning! I can't wait! I know the new parents are absolutely exhausted, but I can't wait to see them anyway!

Calla Lily
I've decided for the time being, I will be calling my little niece Calla Lily. It serves as a nice transition between Calabasa and Lily. (And I think it's cute.)
I'm sure Kathleen will be posting a bunch of pics to Pumpkin News soon, but I wanted to share one of the happy parents and little Calla Lilly.

She's here! She's here!
Lilian (or maybe Lillian - didn't clarify the spelling) Meyer Deetz made her way into the world today. Carl says she has dark curly hair and very dark blue eyes - and he says, "She's really cute." Understatement, I'm sure! 8 pounds, 20.75 inches (if I'm remembering correctly.) She'll be called Lily for short.
I can't wait to see pictures - and I really can't wait to meet her in person! Only 14 more days....
Congratulations Carl and Kathleen!
