wrod. JZ, I was totally like that my whole babyhood long. My mother was thinking she should take me back, I had colic so much. (My stomach still gets weird on a dime, too.) But we did recover.

My usual reaction to Kara: Oh, dear. Forgive me for saying she's delightful--at a distance.

So my porn tastes are going to hold over and affect my reactions to real life? Does this mean I'm going to go up to the next pair of hot guys I see and say "Why don't you kiss each other? If shirts came off, that would be a plus."

I'd pay you five dollars to take a picture of it, Connie.

Next time, sweetie, CALL. Okay? One of us will swoop in, no problem.

Seconded/thirded/fourthed/whatevered. I am actually going into the city tonight, but down in the Mission. For latkes!

And I must be off, as I'm transporting a friend! I am trying to give rides as much as possible to make up for the years and years of asking other people for rides.

I'd pay you five dollars to take a picture of it, Connie.

This is how the porn industry got started, isn't it?

Huh.

Lee, I think you're right.

Well, I could use another source of income . . .

Shy and clumsy Mormon boys, peeking into a forbidden world . . .

. . . and if I keep going, I'll probably be in violation of some Utah law.

Just because I haven't seen the baby doesn't mean I don't want to . . December often leaves me a bit overwhealmed feeling ( too much to do , and doing the things I want makes more of the things I hate ( like shipping) so I actually don't do much unplanned socializing). I am wondering if I can ship christmas gifts the day after thanksgiving next year. anyway - the baby can scream in my ear for an hour - I've done it before and surrvived. I just assume I can't make them stop .

Kara made my day. I am a bit curious about what is going on in her brain..

Porn keeps comming up ( no pun intended) I had a long 'discussion' with a co -worker who is much more conservative than I am . I finally realized that she was never going to understand that to me Runescape or porn - same amount of usefulness of library websites. And , If our screens didn't make it hard for people to avoid seeing what was on all the screen s, I truely wouldn't care if people looked at porn in the library ( no damp seats though) . Of course half the problem with the library 'policy' is that there is no definition of porn. or 'unacceptable use'. It does make me wonder - one of our library patrons told me that he came out to this area to write for the S&M crowd, but found it very difficult to break into that arena. so he is writing vampire porn.

today I mailed packages, ordered a few presents for Matt( one of them wrong ...grrr...) , made beef stew and banana bread.

it's official. We have tree

ETA: I now have eggnog with a double shot of Jim Beam black label

I am doing the lights

JZ, to add to what flea said--once, when I was up with Owen (sometime in his first two months) at 3 a.m. and he would NOT. STOP. CRYING. I was *this* close to losing it. I couldn't wake Christopher because he had to get up and go to work the next day. No matter what I tried, Owen just couldn't be comforted. I finally just put him in his crib and walked away. He must have just wanted some space from me because he quieted right down. Even now there are days when I've put Owen in his room, put Liv down in the crib, shut the doors and walked downstairs for 15-20 minutes, regardless of the crying and screaming that ensues. When you get mentally and physically exhausted, you gotta do what you gotta do.
