momma.

it's in the realm of possibility that i spent a significant amount of time floating in a pool in palm springs today with my favorite woman on earth while reading and drinking margaritas.  i dare you to have a better day than i did.  

i also dare you to have a more awesome conversation than this one:

"mom, the girl in this book is named 'branwen'.  isn't that a pretty name for a girl?"

"mmm.  i don't know.  i like the name 'brandy' better than 'branwen'.  'branwen' sounds like a liquor."

not joking.  really happened.
