Tim Gunn interview from Jane Magazine.
Natter 46: The FIGHTIN' 46
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
train set sounds big and space-taking-up.
colored blocks are the best toys ever. I wonder if they make sets now that are that pressed foam, rather than wood.
Aw, Duplos. (Not sure why I feel nostalgic about Duplos, but there you go.)
You're going to be a great mom, and part of the wonder of parenting is getting to know all that stuff. Its so exciting! I tear up every time mac comes up.
In my office of 18, there are 4 people who have adopted children; 3 of the 4 have adopted internationally (2 Guatemala; 1 India).
msbelle, I mentioned your good news about mac to them, and, even though they don't know you, they were SO thrilled for you.
play-doh, crayons, colored pencils, and construction paper - that's what I have in the house.
Weren't you going to paint a wall with chalkboard paint?
I still love Legos, but not stepping on them in bare feet. OW!
My dad hated legos with a passion for this (but he liked playing with them too!) We learned a lot of creative obscenities courtesy of those little plastic blocks. I remember the Christmas my brother got the space station. Dad turned to mom and said "You ARE trying to kill me."
Thank y'all, so nice.
I was gonna paint the back of the door. That may still happen, I am just not sure when.
Weren't you going to paint a wall with chalkboard paint?
I love that stuff.
A flashlight and a dark room can be pretty good entertainment. Duplo blocks are a good suggestion. Little matchbox cars can be good, but are sort of hit and miss. Leif likes doing mazes as well.
Doesn't Weatherbug install a whole bunch of adware?
Yup.
I still love Legos, but not stepping on them in bare feet. OW!
Legos are a hazard, but nothing sucks more than stepping on a d4. Those things are little plastic caltrops.
Taking a break from cleaning my house for the party tomorrow. Thankfully, the weather forecast has changed to partly cloudy, so no trying to figure out how to cram everyone in my house and grill in a thunderstorm.
Went to the DMV on Wednesday for my new liscense and I will definitely remember to drive the extra 10 minutes to this DMV from now on. I arrived at 11am and was out the door at 11:20. Service was quick and the employees were friendly. When the cashier line started backing up, they even started taking people with exact change at one of the registration counters. It was like the anti-DMV.
