{{{Lee}}} I hope your migraine is doing some better by now.

vw--I just read your paper and found it fascinating. Great job! I can see how you have more to say on this topic and that your insights will be interesting and worthwhile. I now look forward to the expanded version!

Thank you! I’m looking forward to it too. I e-mailed it off to my advisor today…the one that’s going to help me find a prof to work with me on the expanded project. I can’t wait to hear back from him. I’m almost wanting his feedback more than the prof that I wrote the paper for.

I'm merely saying that I have a lovely paperclip belt (large) and a shiny paperclip necklace (small) to wear while I clap for vw.

Excellent paper, V!

vw, I just finished your paper and I can't wait to see the next project based on it. Nicely done!

Thank you!

vw, you did a really nice job on the paper. I enjoyed reading it, and look forward to the full version.

I’m loving all this praise. Thanks so much everyone! I had a really rotten day. This was so nice to come home to!

vw - I just read your paper and it was excellent! Your prof better give you an A+ on that. Again, good job!

Thanks! I hope my prof agrees! I’ve already put SO much into this. I really hope I get a good grade.

{{{Aimee}}} I thought about that earlier today in between my classes. I thought that was today. I’m glad she’s doing so well there, though, and that you feel comfortable calling the school and that they don’t seem to mind.

Wonderful paper, vw. I'm looking forward to the larger project - ot's a fascinating topic and you have interesting insights.

Thanks –t!

Jen, are you still around?

Aimee, how did you find your baby school?

Her godmother drove by it and called the number. They had an opening. I totally lucked out.

They're Montessori, right?

Yup. www.montessoripreschoolonline.com

How are you doing? How many weeks left? How's PTB?

6-8, depending on my blood pressure. I hit the point where eating becomes hard a few days ago, which is kind of annoying, and as of Thursday, she was head-down (stay that way, kid), which explains the increase in rib-bruising whacks from the inside.

She seems to delight in making me uncomfortable now.

She's practicing for adolescence.

Yeah, Emeline would frequently use my ribs to hook her feet into and swing around. Specifically at 3 am.

She's practicing for adolescence.

That, too.

I was looking at her toys last night, and she has 4 or 5 stuffed animals with fangs and a plush facesucker from Alien.

We are so wierd.

So, she's being raised properly, is what you're saying here.

a plush facesucker from Alien.

Those are so cute! Plus in our culture, children tend to pick up an irrational fear of facesucker aliens, so it's good to combat that.

Great job on the paper vw. It's clear that you put a lot of work into it, and that you're interested in the subject. I always hated it when people would write papers about something they couldn't give 2 craps about, but was on the guide or the teacher mentioned it as a possible subject. Count me as one of those looking forward to seeing what you can do with an expanded version.

Perzactly. Of course, I wonder when I should start looking for wee baby corsets.
