It's -17 (F) here right now. It's supposed to get down to -20 (F), with windchills of -30 to -40.

For some reason Andi didn't want me to take out the trash while wearing tshirt and short pants tonight....

someone on the sex show was allergic to dildos.

Glass dildos are an option.

And, in a not-totally-unrelated segue, I feel like Cave-Slayer!Teppy. Umfriend smell nice. Umfriend good. He made me grilled cheese and tomato soup, and then pulled out a massage table and gave me a nice long massage (punctuated by not one, but *both* of his cats deciding to walk on my back as well). Mmm. Umfriend good.

And now I gotta go to bed.

I totally forgot it's Girl Scout Cookie time. I need to find somebody to hook me up, since I'm not in an office with people to order from anymore.

can I just say how glad I am to hear about another baby sleeping with her parents? I'm not sure why I'm so self-conscious about this but I'm glad to know other parents I like are doing it.

I don't think we put Owen in his crib until he was four months--and then only for part of the night. We have a co-sleeper by the bed and use the bouncy seat for Olivia. I think whatever works for you is what's best--any sleep you can get is good sleep. ::checks the time:: Hahahahahahaha.

Brrrrrr...Minnesota cold. Ick Daniel!

Cassie, snuggle under comforters and get warmer in SD. We're having what passes for a chilly wet weekend here, too. Feels like November back in CT right now. Poor meara! She shows up after two weeks of 80's and sunny and we get "winter"!

Speaking of, she has now been tucked into bed and is probably already passed out. Loooong day for all of us, I think. The airport was about 4 hours of driving round trip. Heading over to Drew's to pass out myself now...

We're getting down to single digits tonight and tomorrow night. After the mild winter we've had, I'm just not in the mood.

Libyan anti-cartoon demonstration

Read this twice as Lilybean and got all confused. Unless there was a nose wiping cartoon, which could easily lead to a protest.

Me: How do you KNOW these things? Do you know how many useful facts could occupy those brain cells?

Kristin, have you been talking to Bec?

It's amazing I ever get laid.

Yeah, not all of us share your amazement.

We could test that theory but we might upset the thread.

Not according to Avenue Q.

Back from my date at the Zoo. It was much fun, and they had the most breathtakingly gorgeously perfect golden pheasant I've ever seen. My picnic plan was a huge hit, especially the strawberries with choca-mocha dipping sauce. Finished up with a "where is this going" talk. Still not sure, but I feel better about things. It wouldn't have felt honest to let things go on without her being aware that there are some shadows in my life and my brain.

William, I was just thinking of you. Life of Mammals is on right now. Chisellers! AIObviouslyFG. I should be sleeping but critters are gnawing and being all fascinating.

You are just the most amazingest person. More humans should be like you.

Me: How do you KNOW these things? Do you know how many useful facts could occupy those brain cells?

Kristin, have you been talking to Bec?

It's one of those Are You a Buffista indicators. I think there's a interweb quiz out there...

Cass! Jump on IM and chat with me while I'm doing my nebulizer.
