Coffee is more helpful than attacking the mayor with hummus.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
What about attacking Elizabeth Dole with hummus?

How many Supreme Court justices haven't been judges before being appointed?

Lots of Supremes haven't been judges. Off the top of my head, I can think of two important ones: Earl Warren, and Howard Taft, who was Chief Justice after he was President.

Tempting, it's true, but it could be a federal offense, so even though it's a close call, I'm still sticking with coffee being more helpful.

I knew there was a reason we didn't go walking this morning. Actually, I blame Ellie. After nursing her in the early morning (around 6 am) it's so wonderful to just lean back on the couch and hold her. She's so warm and cuddly.

You can blame hormones too, Stephanie. Iirc, at least three of the "relax, take a nap" hormones kick in during/after nursing.

I think the nurse told me this too. It's really great at night, but what I need in the morning is the "get up and go study" hormones.

I think the "must sleep now" part is supposed wear off, gradually, at least for you--or maybe you just get used to them. But I think the hormones pass to the baby, and knock her out for a little while, which is completely wonderful.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
With a new baby, aren't you pretty much always in "must sleep now" mode? I mean, I'm like that anyway, and there's no good reason I can't get a full night's sleep.
