Later today is Walt's 15th birthday party. Is pretty incredible how far we've come, and how talllllll this kid is now! And apparently in love with Justin Timberlake, per this conversation last night:

Walt: Were you just talking about my birthday party?

Me: No, that's all arranged. The strippers will be here at 4:30. (turns to visiting friend) You did tell them to send a Justin Beiber look-alike, right?

Walt (looking horrified): I don't want Justin Beiber, I want Justin Timberlake!

Me: But he's married.

Walt gasps, hand fluttering up to clutch imaginary pearls: You mean he's cheating on me?!

Never a dull moment with this kid around.

I've got a blueberry pie baked into a cake in the oven right now, as per his request, and this evening we'll have a houseful of teenagers and I'll be reminded just how fast the years are flying by. I'm 17 months from being the parent of one legal adult, and a mere three years from having two of them. They'll both still be living with me and mostly dependent on me, but they'll be old enough to vote. The democrats will need the two extra votes, no doubt.

It's insane how time flies. It's hard to believe that they're 15 and 16 now. I hope Karen doesn't ruin the birthday plans. I'm so glad to hear that Walt prefers Timberlake to Beiber. I was in your neck of the woods recently on the way back from out West and thought about you guys. I hope everything is going well.
