I want to read the new Lee Child too! I got hooked on his books during my trip around the world, when I wanted to buy cheap thriller-type books in used bookstores, and then get rid of htem on my next stop. I read almost all of his then. But the new one is in hardback, and I cna't justify the cost.

YAY Vortex housing! Whoot!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I'm still reading old ones, but I finally got the one with Neagley, who I understand plays a big role in the new one, so that's good.

I was pissed and embarrassed at the time. Now I'm just sort of vaguely amused.

See, if you were Jack Reacher, you totally would have headbutted at least one of them and broken several of their bones.

But also, if I were Jack Reacher, I wouldn't be attached to a breast pump. Probably.

Quick editing question (as my style guides are still en route):

Is it "to work full time" or "to work full-time"?

I'm sorting newly washed baby clothes.

Things I don't understand:

1. Baby pajamas. Seriously? All they do is sleep. They need special clothes for sleeping?

2. One onesie says on the label: "Keep Away from Fire" Okay so when I pan sear my child, I'll be sure to take THIS onesie off.

3. K got mad at me when I wanted to put Noah in a onesie that said, "The animals came 2 by 2." Also, she won't let me do the animals and arc theme for the nursery.

4. The nurses' reluctance to dress Noah in pink or Grace in blue. Dude. They don't know colors for shit right now. Doesn't matter.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Kat has me laughing. I need that. Since I'm typing on a laptop missing keys thanks to the Toddler From Hell. The people from HP kept asking me how I lost the keys.

My three year old gleefully ripped them off while I was trying to pee.

I now know why someone invented preschool. To save the lives of toddlers.
