You know what is a good baby shower gift. A laminator. Seriously, it's very useful when you have little kids. Babies, not so much, but still nobody else would think of it.

Hello, mah Bitches. Nora, I hope you feel better, sweetie.

I love that baby blanket!

First night of tech went well, but HMOG is this show a beast. Phew.

Also: batteries. Rechargeable batteries. Starting out, you have no clue about the number of batteries you're going to go through. The number grows exponentially the older the kid gets.

Anne! I'm so glad you made it safely to your new home and I'm so sorry I didn't get to see you again before you left your old one!

Nick's band = fun! Deena, let me know if they ever decide to do a little tour down this way and I'll see if I can get them hooked up.

When you guys said Chikat knew something about racing. . . I thought you meant horses.

I am disappointed despite the cuteness of the driver.

L&O this week (no doubt in honor of the Derby) is going to be about a murdered jockey. I will have to tape Eyes and watch L&O.

Also, I LOVE Jake Weber and it's totally the family that I like on Medium.

However, the promise of something interesting with H's brother has me watching c.s.i. Orange again. Sadly, so far, nothing of interest has occurred beyond the revelation that said brother is less dead and more undercover than H originally thought.

I'm home waiting for the washer/dryer person to come by and hook up the w/d so I can do laundry.

Anything fancy? I'm thinking all I really had to do is level them and plug them in, and hook up the vent to the dryer, and the water and drain to the washer.

Either you are going to have some install extra work done, or your washer & dryer have new connections mine don't.

New power connection or gas to the dryer? Yeah, I'd leave that to the pros, if I had my druthers.

feel better Nora

Morning. I have my psychiatrist appointment this morning. I am dreading it. I hate having to go over my whole medical/psych history. Especially since I can't usually remember most of it. At least Teacup Guy realized this morning that despite the fact that we don't have plans for tonight, that I was probably going to need the company, so he is coming over after work now.

How is everyone else this morning?

{{{Nora}}} Feel better.

I have no idea how mechanically inclined Anne is, although she's displayed some ability in past discussions, but saying this to someone who isn't inclined in a particular area is a little like telling a person whose cooking resume is generally limited to "makes a mean burger, and decent fried eggs" to fix Thanksgiving dinner. Possible? Sure. Worth the uncertainty, frustration, and time? Not so much.
