Owen is particularly destructive when it comes to books--much to my shame. He chewed his board books to bits and I had to put away the childrens' books with pages. He got a fabulous copy of "Where's My Teddy" only to tear about three pages in the first five minutes he was looking at it. I went to Half Price Books and bought him a board book version for now. The are actually a lot of regular books on the high shelf in his closet waiting patiently.
He has board book versions of a wide variety of childrens' books and he loves them. He's starting to be less destructive and when I think he's ready, I'll start letting him borrow books from the library. Until then, he gets an assortment of new, used, garage sale and freecycle books.
Liv, of course, is on board books right now and I just bought her two Olivia books.
My parents were big fans of the library, since I went through books way too fast for them to keep up a steady supply. I had a cousin who could care less about books but his mother filled this HUGE, wall-sized book case with every imaginable childrens' book title. I always found an excuse to go "play" with him and read his books.

Cass -- I'm definitly making more money. And if it weren't for the stupid health insurance plan I'd be fine. It's just really expensive because it's an HMO non group plan that just got raised to over $400/mth. The temp agency I'm now with offers insurance but that doesnt' cover mental health so it's worthless to me. Stupid ass bipolar disorder.
It's just frustrating because I thought I'd have about $100 extra a month (after paying the insurance) to play with and that extra money is going to taxes.
And I'm not actually sure how to find out if the with holding choices I made are the best.

My hero!
Goodness, but this working thing is tiring. However was it that I used to do this, anyway? I like it pretty well though. Nice is big in the nonprofit sector and I'm treated well. I get to see the giraffes painted on the freeway supports at my exit. Plus I think I'm in job heaven, because the phone did not ring once all day long. Just peace and quiet and data entry, oh my.
Ooops.
Skimming, but must pause and say: Yay for Teppy and The Boy and the L Word! Happiness.
SA, sorry I missed you, I was doing a work related chattery thing.
WHICH I PROMISE TO EXPLAIN IN EMAIL!
As the Blue vs. Orange Kool-Aid analogy didn't work.
Anne, the Cards could do it right here! We're watching and chewing our nails.
Good thing there's a brewery in town. IJS.
