Yay Deena! Bouncy Deena!!

calm and cool ma~~~ to Betsy.

horray for anne being safe and sound

and double yays for Deena's body working better.

Cashmere, I'm curious to know which one you chose to do.

Heh. Reading. I just got a biography of Christopher Marlowe at the library and I'm nearly half-way through. Now I'm sitting here stinking.

Deena, excellent!

How wrong is it that I'm excited because Noggin is premiering new music for kids? *sigh*

It's official, I have to now gate the dogs out of the kitchen while feeding Owen. He now teases and SHARES his food. Shares as in putting down a cracker or whatever so that one of the dogs can reach up and eat half while he holds onto the thing for dear life, giggling. Then promptly popping it into his own mouth as soon as the dog is finished.

Christopher is completely grossed out. I'm not so worried about the germs but it is pretty nasty. Not to mention my dogs are both going to gain 20lbs before O turns 2.

I would make a wire framework, reinforced with rebar, and maybe even the paper mache mentioned earlier. Then I would cover the whole thing with the plasticized cement they sell now, so you can trowel it on and make it conform to any shape.

When you were describing the sharing process, I was picturing Christopher's reaction...sacre bleu!

Will. Not. Kill. Student. Loan. People.

He just stared in horror. Then looked to me to do something. When I ignored it (that's how I deal with a lot of gross stuff) he just said, "THAT'S IT!" and chased the dogs into the hall and put up the gate. Then he wiped O's hands and looked at me and said, "I really can't stand that."

I shrugged. It's REALLY hard to keep the dogs away from the baby 24/7. Even if I give him a snack in the baby gates, he reaches through the bars to share with the dogs. All our rooms are interconnected (but separated by baby gates). If the weather's good, I put the dogs outside--but this isn't always feasible.

Cindy, I gave you the Children's Fairyland lowdown here:

Gud, make sure you have some dials for Reversing Tachyon Flow on the spaceship control panel. Those things are damned useful and can solve almost anything. Maybe a phlebotonium generator too.

Also be sure to add a self-destruct feature. All the best spaceships have one. Of course, you have Leif.

I do intend to get a couple of toggle switches with red flip-covers.
