It's going very well. Owen pays close attention (and usually laughs when I sign to him). But it could take a long time before he signs back. We're using Baby signs--which is based on ASL but modified for babies dexterity. I've never used signs before so I'm trying to learn all the signs I think we'll use.

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[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.

Cool - we're planning on trying it, and I was wondering if it was something that babies would pay attention to. Sounds like Owen's into it!

I have found the coolest, most unexpected book at my local library. Same-Sex Unions in Premodern Europe, by John Boswell. Not necessarily romantic unions, but true unions. Apparently the idea of romance and marriage being inseperable is fairly modern.
I'm wondering who in ultra-conservative Provo actually had the cojones to order it and then approved it. I may need a copy of my very own.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am glad for C&C in Fay's vague "Good on Ya" way.
The tampon thing certainly isn't MY idea of romantic banter, but it was a private conversation. I can think of many goofy things I have said to my BF which would look horrible in a transcript in a newspaper, so I just feel bad for the two of them that it became public.

I'm sad I didn't have Lethe's bramble for it.

I think I need to get hold of a copy of this. I'm dying of curiosity.

I just ordered myself a treat for finishing two of my incompletes - the Wonderfalls DVDs. Yay!

Not necessarily romantic unions, but true unions.
What does that mean? Sounds like an interesting book.
Nice treat, vw. Now I want to accomplish some goal so I can give myself a treat.

I can count on Nicole for a good kick in the pants!
I kick out of love. Besides, this is the last incomplete, no? You're almost home free! (Minus the whole new semester full of all new assignments part.)

I've had a number of nightmares about this.
Company settled merger yesterday. I wonder how much longer I'll have a job.
