I have a prom dress for sale if anyone needs one for this weekend or next.

One of my kids flew into the classroom this morning to give me a hug and tell me that they missed me "soooo much" during spring break. If that's not a good way to start the week, I don't know what is.

PHILLIPS SISTERS

I am very lucky to have you both, so thank you for being the best.

OSCAR

Thank you for being so understanding this weekend. I appreciate you.

LOGAN

I'm super sorry if I made you feel weird yesterday.

MAEVE, BETH, ANGIE

So, um, Ryan wants to take me to dinner to apologize for Valentine's Day.

Thanks for the reminder, Facebook Ads? 😒

Hey, I heard a really weird rumor at school today. Why Did something [...] exciting happen at Aurelius yesterday?

is anyone near athena that can pick me up? thank you.

( text messages! )

I'm wishing you all a very good love day, but especially this guy, who has given me a new outlet to share baby pictures of him on his behalf: ( Cut for image! )

He was the cutest, all right.

Give your favorites an extra hug today, be liberal with telling them how much you appreciate them, and spoil those you care about. You could do this any day, but why not take advantage of the extra excuse?

Soooo I guess once you start having freaky Dunhaven dreams, you get an invite to this underground secret communications network?


Cool. Cool cool.

Surprise.

ANGIE

Can I tell you something that stays between us? I know that the answer is yes, but I thought I'd at least say it.

MAGGIE

Hey, you. Thank you for the setup.

OSCAR

I just wanted to say again that I really had a nice time on Saturday. ☺️

KESI

Tell me good things.

It's almost February 1. Do you know what that means? Valentine's Month. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 And it's a LEAP YEAR which means twenty-nine days of celebrating the best feeling in the world.

Hi! Do you have any fishing trips planned Saturday evening?

Happy Lunar New Year!

I only know a handful of things about my surrogate mother, but one of the things I do know is that she was Korean American, her family having originally come from Busan. I became interested in learning more about that side of my heritage once I was old enough to really understand that it different from the rest of my family and my dads were really supportive and helpful in letting me explore it. There is still a lot that I haven't experienced and someday I am going to just jump in and plan that trip to visit South Korea, but until then I do what I can to embrace my heritage here, in whatever way I can.

And so, today that looks like making tteokguk and jeon! I've only made both a few times before, both to varying degrees of success, so any wishes of luck are appreciated. The recipes also make a lot, so if you're looking to try something new, my kitchen is open.

All that said, I wish everyone a wonderful and satisfying new year. I hope it's full of new beginnings and overflowing happiness.
