Any minute now, there is a situation at my job that is going to blow up in a very messy way.  It is neither my fault nor my problem, but I am the most likely to suffer because of it.   And no, I won’t be lucky enough to get laid off early because that, my friends, would not be suffering.  That would be cause for celebration.

Anyway, I am choosing not to care right now because there is a big green bowl of lilacs on my desk.  The are my all-time favorite flowers and they smell divine.

Lilacs are my favorite part of spring.

Completely unrelated to what I wrote above, tonight we have a parent-teacher conference at M’s preschool.  Cross your fingers that I can avoid bursting into uncontrollable giggles when A becomes the most stereotypical of all stereotypical Asian overachieving parents and asks the teachers about M’s "academic progress".   

How much academic progress can a three year old make?  Tonight we will find out.
