That makes sense. Though, aren't babies used to other people doing pretty much everything for them, as well?

Yes! Including wiping worse places.

I have a cold which is why I've been up since 6am, which is verra annoying.

Oh, and on a Sunday, of all days. Stupid cold. I hope you feel better soon.

And how are you?

The usual crazy beginning-of-the-semester running-around. Which is the good kind of crazy, so that's OK. Oh, and I have a new roommate who seems very nice (even after a couple of weeks of living in the same apartment, so it's not just based on meeting her for a few minutes). All in all, pretty much "same old" like you, I guess, without the cats.

[Edited to rearrange sentences.]

Babies control so very little. They've just gotten the dirt and snot the way they like it and we go and wipe it off.

Harvest spice peaches definitely make for a better breakfast than the kashi cereal that's staring at me disapprovingly from the kitchen table. Healthy, tasty, and bear no resemblance whatsoever to sawdust.

I'm going to have to rethink my unmotivated procrastination approach to vacationing in Europe, as I got a standing invitation this week to stay with Swedish Translator Guy in Stockholm if I visit the contintent. Wonder if (when finances allow) I should do the multi-stage trip I'd vaguely thought of, and see if he'd want to come with to Prague, Florence, and Positano...

Timelies all!

Another lazy weekend morning here. Still in my pajamas, though I'll need to shower and dress soon...

Oh, and Kashi Go Lean hot cereal is rather bland.(It's supposed to be vanilla flavor, but doesn't actually taste like much of anything)

Oh, Matt, you should so definitely do that!

I dunno, if I could eat chocolate, the promise of visiting a Bruxellian chocolateria would swing me towards that. As it is, it would just be sheer torture.

However, I've sweated away another yoga session and am now basking in the ensuing endorphins, which I've fairly earned.

Matt, why not?

Go, Theo! You've definitely earned that.

Keeping kosher can also do that. When I was in the conference in Rome a couple of years ago, the smell of ice-cream floating in the streets was so hard to bear, it was so amazingly good.

[Edit: 5*2=7+3, and the first hugs the second, like it's comforting it since it can't have ice-cream, too.]

Where did everyone go? I don't want to have to start cleaning yet.

FWIW, Chumley says you don't have to. But he is notorious for not having a conscience, on account of felinity.

Yay for Chumley!
