our books that wouldn't fit on the upper shelves went in boxes.
This may be the only workable solution, because there's really no place else to put the bookshelves until we get a bigger house. We'll have to bolt the shelves to the wall to make it safe, though, or else they'll be way too topheavy for an adventurous toddler, not too mention a house in quake country.
Leashes bug me on a gut level though I certainly understand the advantages.
The velcro around the wrist ones look less creepy to me. And they have phone cord cords so that's sorta neat.
Stephanie, the photo of you lying in the delivery room with Ellie on your chest is just lovely.
Just the cat you want staring at you from a high book shelf.

We did this, as well. We also bolted the corner armoire where the TV lived into the wall (studs) too.
In fact, even though my kids aren't toddlers any more, we did it with both the big bookcase and armoire, when we moved in here, too. My mother worked with someone whose toddler was killed by a door. The family was home. The father was removing an old door and installing a new one. The kid pulled one of the doors over on herself (it was propped against the wall, I think).
November. J's is in September.
Well, CRAP! So you're telling me I'm going to be in Michigan twice this fall, and you'll be there IN BETWEEN? That's... argh. There oughta be a rule.
connie, she's a great cat!
Pretty kitty.
If I ever had children, I probably wouldn't stop at leashes. I might have GPS systems implanted, and possibly a small yet tasteful cage for the teenage years. Any children I would have would be unholy terrors.
Damn, it is fuggy here today. I stepped out to take the mail out, and just about wheezed. So humid. And McCormack and Schmicks is next door, and they have been playing calypso music for the last two hours. It might be cheerful if I had a giant fruity rum drink, but filtering in through the window, it's gotten a little irksome.

Yeah, I know. If we get a bunch of money, we'll go for K's in November.
That would be pretty excellent. But, you know, I suppose you oughta eat and stuff...
Eh. I've been tryiing to lose weight anyway
