I learned to never let my guard down between a toddler and my face. If they weren't lurching back to headbutt you in the nose, they'd just gleefully whap you for no particular reason.

Yeah, Emeline's got a righteous left cross.

Also, she can be ninja-quick in snatching my glasses off my face.

Thankfully, she is not quite as quick in making her escape. Though she's getting faster every day.

Soon, I shall be blind and chasing my toddler daughter while banging into doorways while she chortles happily from behind the glider-chair.

It's even worse for those among us who wear earrings. Shiny! + Dangly! + toddler = Mucho ear pain.

Doing the broad jump over a few hundred messages to say Hi Bitches!

This is going to be a long long day. And tomorrow and Wednesday. I'm working 2 extra hours per day to make up some of the hours I'll lose for Thursday and Friday. But for some reason I only took 1 seroquel and barely slept and now I'm dead on my feet.

OMG I am so bored that I'm number slutting.

Yay for makeing it through the exam. If the coughing is stress related - going home and resting should help.

yay for me I paid the car registration before it is due ( 1 day) instead of a week late.

Dude. That's bored.

Clearly, you should stack cats or somehing.

Boo Nora's boredom! Yay timely re-registration, exam-finishing and cat stacking!

Apropos of which though still totally tangential, the Cat Stacking designer guy is still, AFAIK, totally single. This is terribly wrong. Not that I'm suggesting that Nora relieve her boredom by doing anything about it; I'm fully aware of the vast gulf between number-slutting and all the other varieties.

However, yeah, single. Some LAista should really do something about that.

Can I move to LA and date Mr. CatStacker?

Ok...that sounds desperate.

Back off, man, I'm(still) a journalist.(I only said that as a homage...my understanding being true reporters NEVER say "journalist" just wanna-be posers. Reporters say reporter or columnist.) The deadline project went well, once I sat down with it. Remind me of this the next time a deadline makes me all You Are Not The Boss of Me. Which frankly is easy enough for me to get into *with* dead presidents in the offing let alone less-than-stoking freebies. But I liked my subject and am a few hours ahead of schedule. I rock.
