As for cribs, well, we've managed maybe five hours of crib use in a year of having one. She slept in Susan's Amby for the first 7 months, then became a co-sleeper. Cribs now strike me as fairly useless, except for when you need somewhere to stack coats. I expect we'll be converting the thing to a toddler bed shortly.
Even though both our kids went from co-sleeper to crib at 4 months, we still only got 2 3/4 years out of the crib-to-toddler bed combo. I'm glad I only spent $300 on mine rather than $1300. We've taken Owen's down and are giving it to my niece. Liv will be in hers for another year and a half, if that.
That crib is beautiful! I'd almost be afraid a baby would mess it up, gnaw it while teething or spit up on it.
I wasn't going to call my landlady back and just write a note in my rent, but I've discovered my air conditioner doesn't work. Which sounds horrible to complain about when others are having snow, but it was up to 80F today and I need one that works. However, I'm going to wait until Monday to call her. I need to change out the vents (they are dirty and I don't want her to blame me for that) plus I'm going to do some heavy duty cleaning before I let anyone in the house.
Thankfully I have several fans and all the windows for good crossventalation and at night it's fairly cool. It's still that time a year when long sleeves feel good in the morning.
Also, does anyone have any experience with TracFones or other pay as you go phones. I'm getting a cell phone (again my other broke) and from what I've read the tracfone plan is the best, I had Virgin before and hated it. Too MTV for me.

Oooh. Plus then she'll see that you can keep the place clean, and will probably take the 24 hour notice thing pretty well. Brilliant!
I will admit, Cass, that's its quite fun to wander around the office today saying cheekily, "Well, last night I set myself on fire..."
I am certain of this. So we'll keep it in the story repertoire, but let's no more, m'kay? Because I can't see fire making your hair prettier, SA.
To me, this says, "Here, a miracle occurred."
Well, I sat down in front of Jilli with only powder on, a miracle occurred and then I went and put on lipstick and mascara. This is why I believe in miracles, because I had smokey eyes.
I think it's a style of makeup that you have to have applied by someone else, not do it yourself. When I try it on other people, it looks great. When I try it on myself, I look like a happy panda.

Exactly.

Bad plant sex! Bad germs! You were *not* allowed to have a playdate! To the timeout corner, now!
Made Mobius strips.
That's not a euphemism.
So cute!
Bad plant sex!
I said something to my mom last night about the plant sex starting. She said, "What?" I repeated myself, to which she responded, "Where do you get this stuff?"

Whoops. Sorry about that.
Whoops. Sorry about that.
I was more disappointed I couldn't claim it.
I burned up my decrepit herbal heating pad by using it so much post-surgery. I couldn't find one in any store around here, but due to the wondrousness that is eBay, I have two new ones which were way cheap. One is soothingly snuggled on my hurty incision area right now. So warm, so soft, so aromatic. Bliss.
