That's why I don't think I'll be able to give up my dvr when the free trial ends.

Art Crawl!!!

Damn, I just checked the TV Guide website and they're showing no listings for MI-5 for the next 14 days!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I said the same thing 2 years ago. What happened? We moved into the house and went from one to two. Keep in mind that these are dual tuner DVRs, so I can record two shows at once on each box. Four shows total, and there are some nights when that's not enough. Craxy.

My diamond-encrusted platinum shoes are too tight.

Yeah, I have one dual tuner, and I need to start remembering to set the VCR on the other TV. What I really want to do is take back my other Tivo which I gave to my family in a fit of selflessness that's really chapping my ass now. Must learn to resist those urges.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hey Hec, I haven't been around, so I just now read about Matilda's arrival! Congratulations! I know it has been stressful, but also very amazing I am sure.

Poor stressy JZ. Things will be much more settled for you guys awfully soon.

It's getting much better. The breastfeeding is actually working pretty well already. Matilda got a good bunch tonight and she's still on colostrum. Once JZ's milk comes down I expect it'll be easy peasey. [knocks wood]

So we had our "celebration dinner" tonight at the hospital. A fancier meal for your last night in the hospital. They had filet mignon on the menu. That's what I ordered. They called back ask me how I wanted it cooked. I told them. And they delivered...pot roast. Did they think I wouldn't notice the difference? Oh well, Emmett didn't like his pizza so we switched anyway, and now he likes pot roast.

Things Emmett Said Tonight:

Me: Her head is pretty much back to normal now. [takes off her hat]
Emmett: Whoa! It is. Who's got a pretty little head?

Me: Let me know when you want to put the baby down to eat your food.
Emmett: No, I'm good. [leans down and snuzzles her]

"Hospital dinners are fun!"

[After she was fed and bundled and making lots of eye contact and staring in wonder] "Who's a cute little baby of bogglement?"

He rubbed her forehead very lightly to quiet her down. He kissed her cheeks with little tiny kisses. He sang a wordless "la la la" lullaby to her.

"Now I'm glad I have a little sister."

And when we pulled up in the car and got home, after he'd been listening to his Nano he just announced, "I love Matilda!"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Somebody please tell the damn dog that I am not ready to go for a walk yet. Also to stop looking at me!

Hey doggie! WALKIES! WALKIES! NOW! WALKIES!

(sometimes you gotta use reverse psychology on them)

How positively....philanthropic....of you. You are a better woman than I. Just don't forget about the worthy causes that the Brenda M Foundation supports, like a towel-clad and wet McSteamy to watch over and over again.
