ION, I've been feeling sick in the stomach at the loss of our nice digital camera (a gift from JZ's boss for taking baby pics). It was in the diaper bag we misplaced this weekend.

So EM heard about this, and decided that we couldn't leave Matilda's childhood undocumented until we could afford a new camera. So she bought us a new one. Same nice, expensive camera.

So kind and thoughtful.

Especially from The Ex.

Damn, that's nice of her, Hec. Wow.

It wasn't at the restaurant? It's gone daddy gone?

It wasn't at the restaurant? It's gone daddy gone?

Not at the restaurant, not in the car, not in the house.

We are baffled.

That was lovely of EM.

Mallory used to hit me so hard in the ribs it would knock me off balance. Now he does that to people's legs. He may be one of the only children who knows "TACKLEHUG!!!" as one of his first 50 words.

And when he was here a couple of weeks ago? He couldn't sleep the first night so I put Cars on and we both fell asleep watching it. I got freakin' pummeled by him. Crazy flinging limbed kid...

If she tries to mock me, as she threatened, for folding the blanket which I was using when curled up on the couch watching Serenity, I will find a way to mock back. The bottom line: Iris still cute! Sox's DH still handsome! Sox still a great person with whom to chat away the afternoon!

NEVER. I couldn't mock you for being a fab guest... I was just trying to figure out a way to keep you from doing any work whilst you were here --

It was awesome having my cousin come to play - yay! so glad she's on this side of the country so that she can help me ignore the eyerolling from DH when I put Serenity in the dvd player & menu to my favorite scenes ... and she's willing to walk allovertheplace in search of the Scratch & Dent (rumored to have le creuset at $20-30... but they were closed, sniff).

So if I post here that there may be a return trip for Charm City Roller Girls next week, with cute alter-niece and both cute DHs, does that lock you in too much Sparky? Insent, also...

Jessica, your hair looks fantastic! And so very you (and blue) ((and whoo)) (((even woo whoo)))

Baby bump!!

::and exclamation points::

Oh, David, that's so sweet. I'm sorry about the loss of the stuff, though. That's always quite frustrating.

I have read your message, Soxy, and backflung. I don't feel locked in my CCRG. With my DH away I get to make all the decisions. That may be why I have two new pairs of shoes on the way, and not much in the 'fridge.

::and exclamation points::

Christopher was just talking about explanation points.

I almost didn't correct him.
