Millie: Congrats. I can’t wait to meet my niece or nephew. Let me know if you need anything. Or if my brother’s being an idiot. Or maybe don’t, because that’s probably a daily occurrence.

Hannah: Haha. Thanks. He’s been great.

Sara: Lunch to celebrate when you get back, please. I want to hear every little detail.

Hannah: I assure you, you don’t. But yeah, sounds good. And sorry I didn’t say anything. Still getting used to this.

Lennox: You got this, girlfriend. And you have us <3

Sara: The best aunties ever.

Millie: They really are :)

Sara: Aw, Mills. Can I come over and hang with Viv today? I miss her.

Lennox: Oh, I want to come!

Daniel: How are you feeling?

Hannah: Good. Just getting into bed. The game went extra long today.

Daniel: I was watching. Twelve innings? Fuck. At least they pulled out the win, though.

Hannah: Didn’t realize you watched baseball.

Daniel: Didn’t really until you.

Hannah: I don’t play.

Daniel: But you’re somewhere there. Makes me feel closer to you.

Hannah: I’m not an emotional person, but that’s really sweet.

Daniel: Nah, just being honest.

Hannah: Well, it’s honestly sweet. Thank you. Can’t keep my eyes open. I’ll call you when I’m back in town.

Daniel: Sweet dreams, dream girl.

Knocked It Out of the Park

I’ve always admired people who set goals and stick to them, whether they aspire to run a 5K or lose weight or hit a professional milestone. I’ve got my own list of things that I want to accomplish in my life—a bucket list, if you will—and every time I tick an activity off, the satisfaction that hits me rivals a really good orgasm. Pressing the pen into the paper and creating that little check mark is so, so gratifying.

And last week, I experienced double the satisfaction. Not only did I check off a major item from my bucket list, but said item involved multiple orgasms.

I really knocked it out of the park, and I’m not speaking figuratively. I had sex on a baseball field, a personal bucket list moment of mine.

We’ll call it a win-win.

But crossing off this particular item got me to thinking: as I get older and am forced to be more responsible, will I have achance to tick off the rest of the items on my bucket list? Does growing up mean giving up the fun things in life?
