Olivia had her 2 month appointment today. All's well and she's in the 50th percentile across the board on her weight and measurements. She's nearing 12lbs. She still doesn't outweigh the cat. In the case of Perkins' cat, it would take two Olivias to do that, I think.
Woo!
Daylight Savings Time has completely frelled Owen's sleep cycle. Or else it's just plain old bad luck after that one 12 hour night last week. Feh. Just when you get on a schedule, they pull the old Toddler Switcharoo and there's nothing you can do about it.
When my kids were real little, it helped me, at least as far as the mornings went, because they'd sleep in. On the downside, I didn't gain the hour in the Fall, like the rest of the world.
I'm looking forward to Spring, though. It's been rainy and gray here for a few days.
Yes. We've had nice weather mostly, but this winter was just dreary. Need Spring.
I'm suffering from the worst case of Winter Fatigue EVER. I just want to be able to take the kids outside on the patio and stay out for a long time.
I'm consoling myself with Doctor Who episodes.
I keep forgetting to watch that. I'm such a Who fangirl, in theory.
I have a new senior manager here in Melbourne. Just had a meeting to discuss how things are going to work around here. I took away three things:
1. Arrogance - our comparative advantage.
2. The new senior manager is very experienced within the industry, and now he's all tapped out of fresh ideas.
3. The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades.
They should get me to take the minutes at these meetings.
I once had some friends threaten to give a warm fuzzy nickname. It included one girl who had been in the Marines and not enjoyed the experience. She kept saying I was going to have a nickname, and if I knew what was good for me I could pick one.
I told her fine, my warm fuzzy nickname could be "sir".
Her immediate reaction was "I'll see you in hell first".
My response, was "good, so you understand how I feel about warm fuzzy nicknames".
And hi Billytea, and bleah on the winter blahs to Cashmere.
BT, how much are going to have to interact with new manager? Is this a major problem?

Oh, Cindy--it's soooooooo good. I literally got hooked with one episode. I'm also huge spoiler whore for it (quelle suprise, no?)
BT, how much are going to have to interact with new manager? Is this a major problem?
No, no problem, I'm rather looking forward to it. Which is just as well, because he sits next to me. (At the moment my Machiavellian goal is to claim the corner cubicle, so I will have views in
two directions!)
Oh! I've booked accommodation to spend a night in the Dandenongs over Easter with Wallybee. The B&B website advises the following: "Breakfast ingredients provided. Children by agreement."
I love children, but I can never finish a whole one.
