It took me a long time to get used to getting the car seat in and out, and planning where I could go that would have a cart to put it in, etc.
I deal with the Snug Ride almost daily, when we pick up Paul, and I've had three trips to my OB, two of which were on my own. I'm down with the travel system, know the Bjorn, and have no problems with the sprog wrangle aspect.
My issues are mainly not having anywhere to go where I'd feel comfortable NIP without Paul around to provide a moderate degree of protection for me from potential asswipes. Which is why Reel Moms, despite the fact that the closest theatre is downtown in parking hell, seems like a good idea. It sounds like there are a few theatres with crying rooms, though, so we may have a movie watching trip yet.
My sister called me about the earthquake - and she was informed of it by her relatives in CO.
tonight we watched the tick. this means new tag line
if anyone has a recipe for cherry ice cream - or a fruit ice cream that uses fresh fruit sugar and cream ( no eggs) and can send it to me... or post it I would be greatful. Just don't know enough about ice cream makeing to guess well.
Wow.
Were we down?
For a weeknight, this is quiet.
Too qui-
t thud!
"Avoid clichés like the plague."
I kind of feel like I need to stand up for the PIRGs. It's not like it's a scam or a cult, it's just a crappy, crappy job, and there's a reason that the only other folks who do stuff like that are doing out of - let's call it religious fervor.
Plei, if you have an upscale mall, or a mall with a Nordie's, that can be a great place to get out. Our Mother of All Malls actually has a couple of nursing rooms as part of their bathroom complex (they also have family bathrooms so daddies can take their 3-year old daughters in to go pee-pee), and Nordstrom's has the nicest lounges in the women's bathrooms that are a good place to nurse. Starting to NIP in places like this can help you feel more confident for more iffy ones in future.
Timelies!
I slept for 12 hours. I guess I was sleepy.
Katie Bee job offers! Yay! Silver beads and welded art sounds fun, West Oakland notwithstanding.
Dammit. Forgot The Tick again.
Happy Birthday, Stephanie!
It's Stephanie's birthday? How did I miss that?!
Happy Birthday, Stephanie!
I wrote it on my calendar. I hope I got it right...
What I have written on my desk calendar:
- Buffistas' birthdays
- Co-worker's days off
- Weeks of coffee service paid for by the bosses
I notate each of these only by using the person in question's name, so there's just random looking names all over the month. No one not me could decipher it, I think.
