Deviled eggs do sound nice.
Cashmere, I know (and loathe) that feeling. I hope the check comes on time and that the day isn't too bad.
I'm going to go lay down on the couch for a bit. I woke up stiff and achy and it's not quite gone yet.
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I am now covered in cocoa from making the frosting for the brownies. But, I got to lick the whisk and spatula that I used. Mmmmmmm....yummy morning chocolate!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
From last night (I was asleep already-yay me), ita, re our discussion on plastic ducks:
Do you think this is what Kermit was singing about?
Hmm.

Um, now I'm getting hungry. I was planning to try to cook today anyway, so maybe this will help. Not brownies, though - this amazing eggplant and chickpea stew that my sister made once.
Had a strange dream last night about some Buffista (imaginary, I think his name was Franklin) whose wife had just had a baby and he'd published a little photo book about it. It was very cute. Also, Cashmere was the midwife.

Trust my rage
Since LJ is down, I thought I'd post this here. DH is going to read some baby/children's stories and record them so that Minian can hear his voice before she's born and then she and I can listen to them together after he's born. He will come back when she's about 6 months old.
Do you all have any recommendations of books that would fit the bill? I'm going to send them to DH so he can start recording, but I haven't really looked at kid's books in about 20 years.

Goodnight Moon is my favorite children's book.

Crime and Punishment.
No, wait, I mean Where the Wild Things Are.

Crime and Punishment.
Neither DH nor the baby would ever forgive me.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verses. Margaret Wise Brown's A Child's Good Night Book and A Child's Good Morning Book.
(Also, I just went to her website - she was so pretty! I never knew!)

Because books.
Timelies everyone.
Oh, Nonian, that's such a good idea! Goodnight Moon and Where the Wild Things Are are perfect choices. Some others mine have all loved are:
Sandra Boynton's The Bedtime Book and Moo Baa LaLaLa
The Runaway Bunny
Dinosaur Roar by Paul and Henrietta Stickland
any Dr. Seuss, but particularly The Foot Book, Mr. Brown Can Moo and The Shape of Me and Other Things
Also, there's Make Way for Ducklings and Are You My Mother?, just to start. So many good books to choose from.
Last, one of my kids' favorites was Sheep, Sheep, Sheep, Help Me Fall Asleep by Arlene Alda, but it might be out of print.
Skipped madly. Much ~ma to all who need it.
