It's way too early in the morning to be coherent. Shut up, I don't care if the clock says 7:30, I'm exceedingly gronkly. I have failed in my self-appointed "Dan's running late, why don't I start cooking some eggs for him" duties. I had the idea he wouldn't be coming downstairs for a good fifteen minutes, so I made eggs for me first. They were still in the pan when he walked into the kitchen.

Ya know what I needed on my eggs? More cheese. Cuz the cheese I did have was great but not enough. And also, the additional cheese should be caffeinated.

S'ok my love, I've been making eggs for myself for some time now. I appreciate the thoughtfulness. {{{Andi}}}

Steph, I hope that everything works out ok for your uncle. And I totally get being stressed about being the go-to child in the family. I'm currently that for my folks as Mom deals with her cancer treatments and Dad deals with Mom, and there are weekends when I really want to just curl up in my apartment and watch H:LotS DVDs instead. Really really. A lot.

Cass, I'd be miffed, too. All territorial issues aside, if you're calling a person for their help, and then you put them on hold for hours, you're basically saying that their time is so unimportant that you can waste hours of it for no good reason. That always burns me up.

Eggs and cheese sound soooo good this morning. And I can top them off with a cupcake. /taunty.

Name-wise, I'm leaning towards Olivia Rose. But I also like Lydia or Elizabeth for a first name, too.

We're sticking with Rose for a middle name because that's my maiden name.

Olivia Rose is quite pretty. I bet there won't be half a dozen other Olivias in kindergarten with her, either. Unless I'm way out of the loop on baby naming trends, which is entirely possible.

I like Olivia Rose. Owen and Olivia!

Olivia was one of my favorites. I like it a lot. (Of course, i like Elizabeth too.) I think Olivia was #8 or so on the list of names.

I was just thinking (while watching Another World) that Olivia was a pretty and unused name. The middle name Rose sends me off to Prince's Starfish and Coffee (All of us were ordinary compared to Cynthia Rose / She always stood at the back of the line / A smile beneath her nose).

Very pretty.

Olivia Rose would be lovely.

I bet there won't be half a dozen other Olivias in kindergarten with her, either. Unless I'm way out of the loop on baby naming trends, which is entirely possible.

It was in the top ten for 2004.

Is that what happens? Mothers and fathers think I don't know anyone with that name...and lo...kindergartens are full of independently named kids?
