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.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.
'Get It Done'
Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute
[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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

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.

Mostly lurking...
Goodnight Moon is my favorite children's book.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hmm.
That was precisely my thought.
I'm so glad people (you know who you are) posted more uncomfortable links than mine. Though that feathered butt plug was alien in its beauty.
How about a succession of nursery rhymes, Nonian?

Thrive to spite them
Do you all have any recommendations of books that would fit the bill?
Guiess How Much I love You, Winnie the Pooh, a book of nursery rhymes and other poetry, Dr. Suess, Owl Moon, Dr. Suess, Madeline, Olivia, Lyle, Lyle the Crocodile, actually I could go on for awhile.
And any books that were your favorite when you were little.
