Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I forgot to post that I had my six-week check up and I have been cleared for all activities. Yay! I am going to go skating today after work for a little while. Other forbidden activities have been, um, engaged in already and I can report that all systems are go.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Wooo forbidden activities!

I think I read that Thomas Jefferson ate popcorn as cereal frequently.

TCG took a sick day today and he's driving me crazy! I suppose I should be grateful that we usually get along so well.

Dad doesn't drink milk and hates soy milk so he eats his cereal dry.

Has he tried almond milk? I loves me some almond milk in my cereal.

not your mom's socks.

Ha! The buffista babies *are* readying themselves for something big (now who said that?). Or, possibly, preparing a manuscript for Broadway -- "How to break your parents and other neat tricks".

The scene: upstairs, near toddler bed...

Sox: night Iris - have a good nap! {cheerfully, because babysitter is lying in exhausted heap and obviously needs a break, and possibly some pills}

Iris: no. I. Don't. Want. To. Sleep. {jumps off of bed. grabs armful of stuffed animals and puts them in bed}. THEY sleep. I work.

Sox: It's time to sleep. {deposits Iris in bed again - why don't toddler beds have RAILS?? - puts gate in doorway. goes downstairs. comforts babysitter.}

sounds of stuffed animals hurled 1 by 1 from bed. 5 or six rounds of all of the requests that have become the pre-nap litany - 'juiiice, tuckmein, toodark, toobright, juiiiicetuckmeintoodarktoobright..." then quiet. then - a new one.

Sounds of clothing (currently understood as the clothes Iris was wearing for her nap) being hurled over the gate and down the stairs.

Iris: mommmeeee?

Sox: {from office, where workChat is pinging like crazy} yeeeaaauuusss??

Iris: I'm too cold to go to sleep.

Swear.

ION - the 'strange data' issue from this morning is due entirely to the person in question trying to work from - ta DA! - *A Screen Capture of the data*. A jpeg. That someone sent them as an example but which amazingly wouldn't respond to their input. I really would like to trade my mallet for a pointy wooden stick. but I think I'll just keep practicing the deep breathing.

Rice milk is good for cereal too.

Thrive to spite them

I'll have to ask him about almond or rice milk. I tried some almond milk but it was too thick for me.

edited to add that Dad's pretty happy with plain stuff. He'll happily eat a plate of plain rice. One of his favorite meals is plain rice, sliced chicken, and sliced cucumbers. It's kind of like a dish he used to eat when he was in Vietnam and is his One True Meal.
