And yes, all the pictures are fabulouso – I have one complaint, though… No pictures of driving to the sail boat in a yellow convertible? And can you guys still sail? My dad was a ship captain for years and loved loved loved to sail, but the one time he took me out on a boat in the San Francisco bay, I got all sorts of sea sick. At first I felt bad about that, as if I’d let him down, but then I found out about the existence of Dramamine and felt like he’d let me down by not giving me any.

Although you make up for it by answering Sarah’s top area of expertise question that involves no capitalization and “yr” instead of “your” with spelling and grammar. I’m not smart enough to remember how to properly diagram a sentence, but I do have this insane need to make sure sentences are punctuated and spelled properly, even when I’m texting on the ridiculous keyboard of the iPhone.

I also loved Anne of Green Gables and always thought it sounded so cool to be a librarian, since all I want to do is read all day! What a fun interview!

p.s. I will send you a picture of my engagement ring if you want!

Dan,
Graduation Stoles

Mrs. Pitre, I’m glad to see someone praising spelling and grammar. I just found out this year that, apparently, in the 1980s, British schools basically decided not to teach it. I am now the in-house semicolon expert here, and end up a grammar expert in most of my jobs. I can’t diagram sentences, though. Thanks for this interview!

Also can you plz tell me how you perfected that hair flip in your engagement picture? Because I have been trying for about 20 years and have come nowhere close.

I absolutely love Sarah’s parents and have so many memories of their house in Lakewood (I think that’s the neighborhood). I love the fact that we were always welcome, they encouraged us to get messy, and that the more girls (ahem, more noise, more hormones, etc.) in their house, the merrier! The thing is, Sarah’s parents are STILL like this. Their house is always open for a Cy-Creek Christmas reunion, and seeing Al and Sue at those get togethers is just as exciting as meeting up with old friends.

Wonderful interview!

I think a new addition to the blog should be what your old friends gave you at your birthday parties…What crazy things did Talena, me, Becky, etc. give you?????

Even better than your dad’s? Let’s call it even.

I should note that I had the same “The Little Engine that Could” book when I was growing up. It’s so cool to hear the stories of life, love and raising PoshD.

It’s good to see your parents having fun in Austin.

BTW – Arnett and Poehler are officially competing for my favorite show on TV, and it hasn’t even started yet. It will be sad to see Poehler leave SNL. Who will do Weekend Update? I don’t think Seth should do it on his own . . .
