What's up with this early teething thing, anyhow? I wasn't exactly prepared for it. Pete blames the comics, says I obviously did something weird trying to get her super powers, and this is my punishment or some such rot.

O started at three months. We lived by the frozen washclothes. I think he actually got every single tooth he was supposed to have by 10 months. So, on the bright side, we are completely done with teething until the 2 year molars come in.

Possible numberslutting to wish Plei good luck with the early teething escapades.

Dressed-up Lily is such a doll.

I'm with you on the movement to have shoes come in depth measurements. I have bone spurs on the top of my feet.

One of our new staff members brought in a tiny, yet delicious chocolate cake today.

The reason?

Because she wanted to eat chocolate cake.

Perhaps it is random chocolate cake day?

Wally report! I'm feeling just a little cheeky right now. There's a woman who put on her profile that she's an attractive redhead, interested in fantasy writing (Tolkein, Feist, Eddings among her fave authors), looking for intelligent conversation with a guy who has a sharp sense of humour and can leave her speechless. All good signs, and very challenging. So I decided I'd turn it around, and wrote back saying that her profile sounded like a person I'd like to know, and I'm all agog to find out if she'll live up to it. We'll see how she reacts.

Meanwhile, an etiquette question: I want to send the woman with whom I had a date on Sunday a note saying I enjoyed it etc. I'm not overly worried about making any faux pas, but anyone have thoughts on possible pitfalls or good things to include?

"Oh, Baby's First Sun God, Oh Smiling One, Oh One that Rattles When I Grab Him, How I Worship You."

Oh SO Cute.

Teppy, I'm so sorry abou tthe stressful weekend. I hope you're feeling okay this morning.

Plei, your outfit sounds lovely.

She sounds ideal! Go Team Wally!

I dreamt last night I dyed my hair blue. I wonder what that means.

Baby's First Sun God

Somehow I don't see this being a featured item at Toys R Us. Might go over well at the Stonehenge Gift Shop, though.

Don't forget her name...(I'm wondering if that's how Belzer started with "babe", besides being an aging hipster.) Try to remember something specific and fun about that night...she'll be impressed. V. impressed with bt's courtesy at the moment...Wally's a nice bloke.

but anyone have thoughts on possible pitfalls or good things to include?

the only thing I can think of is that if she is way more into you than you are into her it could engender false hope
