'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

But, you don't really need a full sized crib for awhile - you could use a bassinet.
We didn't use ours regularly until O was 9 months old. He slept better in his bouncy seat than anywhere else (which is why I bought two of them).

Even that would be pushing it. It's a REALLY small bedroom. Do they make underbed storage bassinets? 'Cause we might have room for that...
(I don't know why I'm obsessing about this today, since I'm not even pregnant yet. It just seems like it can't POSSIBLY be September, and if the summer went by this fast, then so will next year, and before we know it we'll be planning a family for real and STILL have no money to move with.)
(I'm useless on the subject of furniture, but still squeeing internally at the thought of future moonbonebabies)
Heh. I have a family and still no money to move with.
Speaking of, our household is 2 days away from being larger by one. My sister is 14 hours outside of Denver!
So that will put the count at:
3 adults
1 baby
2 cats
1 dog
1 bedroom
I have paid my library fines! /good citizen
It's gorgeous out. We're going for a bike ride after a nap.
Gronk.
I made tea. It's not coffee. I wish I had coffee too.
It's all I got right now.

I just received an advance copy of "Paint it Black: A Guide to Gothic Homemaking" by Voltaire. Were I a Goth, I would be referring to this book constantly. It's full of humorous, yet practical advice. A sample:
... In my opinion, the best base color for a soon-to-be-Goth room is red. But stay away from primary red. You want your room to look romantic and hot -- as in sultry -- not like a fire engine. Steer towards secondary shades of red, like crimson or burgundy. Also, red paint names that bear an Oriental title tend to work nicely.
Resist the tempation to paint the walls black! I can tell you from experience that if you are starting with a smallish room, painting the walls black will make the room look even smaller. Furthermore, it will eventually depress youto a point far beyond the usual "I'm so Goth I'm dead... aren't I wonderfully mysterious?" to a stage where you will actually need to seek serious and immediate professional attention.
Jilli will either be very jealous of me, or she will say that she reviewed the galleys months ago....
Jess, you could rig a basket for the baby suspended from the ceiling on pulleys. Or, if you have a bathtub, just store the baby there with padding. Or maybe get one of those birdboxes that you can attach to your window.
OK, not terribly helpful.
Apparently, my library no longer charges fines, which I find odd, considering the staff has taken a voluntary, one week, unpaid furlough during the summer (this week, in fact) over the last couple of years, to help the town with its budget crunch.
The kids and I went to the library right before all the sickness hit our house, and took out seven books. The books were due back on July 18. Scott returned them right before we went on vacation, which was about a month late, and asked what the fine was, and they said there was no fine.
I will have to find out where to donate money to them.
