A super easy way to keep up with your old pal Katy is to subscribe to my newsletter!

HA! Awesome. I still understand about 75% of these, and I still think about 50% of those are funny (or at least the memory of them is funny). And yet, I am technically a grown-up. This seems wrong.
Get your sofa away from me, I hate the upholstery…
Alternatively, “It’s true! It’s true! The clown has made it queer!”
Molly – I think my percentages are about the same as yours! I, too, am supposed to be a grownup, but most days I don’t feel like one, in so many ways.
