Astarte, I may at some point want to talk to you about the consulting thing--not in IT, but it's something I might want to do in a few years, in a similar way.

Sure thing. You can ping me at my email anytime. roanna29 at yahoo.

And Nora is certainly not idiotic.

And JZ has very foamy ancestry indeed.

I'm usually negotiating significantly for money or travel conditions, so I also mention that I to make a fully informed decision when I take a position.

This is definitely the way to play it; it's different to have had an interview and call back to negotiate.

OK, I want to read that book right now. Or maybe I have. Either way, there's a National Book Award hiding in there.

So true! And gorgeous photos.

Em would be a cutie-boo even without her eyes...with those amazing eyes she's a knock-out.

Then we watched on TiVo replay in slow motion, and indeed, after Ray Durham made his great play you can read his lips saying, "Web Gem."

So Emmett's a lip reader too? Cool.

My son has given up on sleeping. He used to go 12 hours at night, with a couple naps during the day. Now he does 2 30-minute naps and sleeps for 7 hours. He babbled happily at me for TWO SOLID HOURS last night, from 10-midnight, as I rocked him.

I actually needed more "me" time, not less, but he's so adorable it's hard to be upset.

Between stories and pictures, I am dying from the cuteness of 'fista babies. Which is probably for the best cause I need to get some rest.

And Cass reminds me. Yesterday, Aidan came up behind me while I was cooking dinner, slapped one hand on each of my butt cheeks and shouted, "TADA!"

I forgot to Tivo Bones - anyone want to give me a summary ?

DB looks good. His costar is a total mary sue. There were three musical montages, which was two too many for me; it was--sometimes painfully-- anvilicious, and they caught the bad guy way too easily. The snark was fun and I'm going to give it another chance.

Heeee! I am enamoured with him.

Pretty much what Deena said. When you first asked, I was just starting it on delay. It was pretty enough but never grabbed me. The crime and the whodunit were eh. The anvils flew wildly. Mostly it set up the Lessons We They Need to Learn. But, hey, pretty.

I just realized. With the whole having a new doctor thing, I might finally be able to get a scrip for something that will help me sleep. That would be so nice. I'm rather tired of this 2 am (3am.... 5am...) I ought to be in bed thing.

I am sad to say that I liked the mary sue character up until The Parental Tragedy (tm) was revealed. That was just over the top. If they don't talk about it again it might be okay.

That would be wonderful. My Ambien will be pryed from my cold hands. Though remembering to take it about two hours ago would be a good idea.

I actually liked Bones Sue well enough. Especially the tipsy shooting bit. It's just a show that will likely go on and I will watch and then go away and I won't mourn. No idea if that is four episodes from now or four years from now but it won't wound me when it does and I will enjoy the pretties for a while.

Cass, if I do see you, remind me that I have something for you.

That's bribery!!!

It is an effective method with me .
