How can Matilda be talking already?

Just to clarify, I'm not actually an insane mother who thinks her 7-month-old infant is two diphthongs away from a career as a public speaker -- she's totally just babbling, and some of it accidentally comes out resembling words. Which of course we repeat back to her and praise and affirm and all that, but it's purely accidental. I'm not delusional about her or anything.

Mostly.

She does say "okay" an awful lot, though.

juliana, P-C is right about percocet. It makes you chill out, but not bleed out.

And I just learned, in looking up info on percocet, that a generic (i.e., LESS EXPENSIVE) version of Ambien has just been approved by the FDA. Woot! Although the article doesn't say when it'll be available.

Matilda is a very chatty baby. Delightfully so.

For a second I thought this was in reference to juliana's dentistry.

I was thinking "the chair" meant the tattoo artist's chair, in which case I want pictures.

Oh, that's right, she's getting a tattoo. Am I so unhip that when I think "the chair" I automatically think dentists? I'm afraid I am.

Dude, you and JZ gave birth to Damo Suzuki?!?!??

Mein Krautrock baby! She's cuter though. Wayyyyyy cuter.

If I ever have to have a body part removed, I will use a permanent marker to tattoo the other side with "DO NOT CUT HERE" instructions

For both my knee and breast surgeries, they not only wrote "Yes" and "No" on the correct parts with permanent marker, they made watch them and explicitly agree that yes, that's the correct knee.

I just went through the whole ID and signing business for pseudoephedrine, in the hopes of unblocking my ears. The pills and the bag they're in have now disappeared from the planet. I swear I've looked at every flat surface in this house and rechecked the car.

FanTABulous. Thank you, P-C & Tep. Mmmmm, Percocet.

And yup, it's for the tat. There will be pictures, most indeed.

She's cuter though. Wayyyyyy cuter.

Deadly with the cute, she is.

I was lucky when I had the reconstruction surgery, because it was insanely clear which cheekbone was shattered, and he was using the other cheekbone as a sort of reverse template. They still drew on me with purple marker.

Right -- with my back surgery, it was pretty clear which side the discs had herniated on, but before I went under, I heard the surgeon asking the rest of the surgical team, "Okay, everyone -- one more time: which side is it?" And I was relieved when they all said "Left!"

Say, did anybody hear about the $10 Skybus flights from Oakland? Bayistas could fly to Columbus and back for $20. I think that's quite a deal even if they do charge $5 for a checked bag.
