I just got a Levenger catalog, which included the information that there's a Levenger store opening nearby sometime in December. This will be so horrible for my bank account. (At least it's not easily metro-accessible.)

oh dear. Your bank account and my bank account can go to therapy together

This has not been my favorite day.

however, I will share the best part of the day. One of our slightly off -center library patrons came in today. all happy when we got the the answer to her question. her actual response: " I love the library. When God doesn't give me the answer, I come here."

Hee.

Wow, I am really undone. I went to the bookstore after work which involved waiting for a bus in the cold. . . while wearing my less than warmest coat and having the bus be 30 minutes late because it was in a fender bender! Standing and waiting for the bus is tiring for my sore leg. So is walking to and around stores. So is walking home from the bus stop. When I got home my apartment was cold. And I was so damn cold it took me like 3 hours to warm up. I hope my apartment will still be warm tomorrow morning. (I can hear the radiator in the bathroom hissing away.)

And it has started to snow. And I can't not be at work tomorrow so the buses better be running.

And dealing with the boiler meant that I missed a totally cool (apparently) promo for next week's new SPN.

And GA made me cry. Not sure why. Possibly just exhaustion.

I'm going to bed.

Heh. It's at Tyson's Corner, so not totally close by, but not totally far away, either.

As long as that hair-lash was for halloween, I'm okay with it. If not, I don't want to know.

Man, I need to call my hair guy tomorrow.

(But it won't affect my lashes either way.)

Yeah, it comes back, but I still find that I talk on and on about the baby and this whole weird thing that is parenthood whenever given an opening.

BTW, I've decided that becoming a parent is as big a change as puberty, and similarly hormonally programmed. I'm as different a person now from 3 years ago as between 11 and 14, with as little control over the changes. I think I may notice it more than people who have their children shortly after puberty or even in their 20s, but dang whoa.

Well, it's official. We are going to DC for our next tour. DCistas, look out for us! I suspect we'll be living in Reston, though.

All the cool kids are heading for DC.

Tonight CJ asked me what a condom was. And while he didn't settle for the simple explanation, he seemed a bit grossed out at the concept by the time the discussion was done. I tried to be informative, not too TMI, but not sure I judged his readiness well enough. Parenthood = fun.

Stateside Raq!

That's Emmett's take. And seeing as how we live in SF, we do see our fair share of used ones in the park and in the Haight.

Steph, is there any reason that I should still be feeling aftereffects from Vicodin and Flexeril I took more than 24 hours ago?
