Skipping ahead to report...

I took a trip today. Let me show you it:

Long version: [link]

Short version: [link] and [link] and [link]

(AmyLiz, you should click through the long version for a blast from the past...)

In conclusion: Book! I have book! I had to go to the information desk to ask for it, because I couldn't find it on any table. It was, in fact, in the stacks. I turned it to face out, as it should be. The woman who showed it to me did a double take and smiled when I told her the title I was looking for. I also hunted up Amy's book, yay! (It was already facing out as it should be.) So, actually, I have books! Yay!

I'm already half way through. (Oh. I guess that wasn't really the conclusion up there. Sorry.) Have laughed out loud and teared up. Freaking awesome read, Allyson.

And Room Service is next up.

Poop explosion time. Make sure everything is well fitted!

See, I am taking the opposite approach and tempting fate:

"Hey, K! Why don't you give him a bath? Also can you hold him, diaperless, above your head, while having your mouth open making cooing noises?"

We capricorns are special snowflakes, Miracleman.

BWAH!!

I was actually very close to getting one of the screens off when the soft option provided itself. Devilishly clever these screens...normally, screens present no problem.

Disassembling the entire back door...that's impressive.

Reverse ...well, something. Not psychology. Poopology?

Short of a space suit, you're guaranteed an overrun somewhere.

Good documentation, Jen!

Are you planning on babyjacking?

Never hurts to know.

Because why not add superficial facial pain to the mix?

Yes. Superficial, and deliberate.

Is this misanthropy, I ask you?

That's a very good picture of you Tep! I covet that top.

Just got up from a nap and need to get dressed to meet L. Want to meet L, just wish we could do Happy Hour here.

yep! deliberate...a pain of choice, not otherwise.

K is taking her comprehensive exams for grad school today and tomorrow. She has asked friends to come down to help and her sis is here to watch Noah. The result is, oddly, more stress for me. Everyone except the friend's DH has taken Noah shopping at ikea. May he poop there, is all I can say.

Me? I'm taking a nap and reading a book. I'm tired, but I need down from everything else time but not asleep time, if that makes sense. And reading does that for me.

Hmm, I should get my brows done, too.

I'm done with chores for the moment and am now drinking iced coffee. Mmm. I should try making cold brewed some time.

I am Tuesday's child and yet fairly prone to pratfalls.

I need down from everything else time but not asleep time

I do know what you mean, precisely because I'm the opposite. I would prefer to be unconscious.

Short black dress, dog collar, granny boots and thigh-highs that say "bitch."

That's how I'd dress if I were going out tonight.

It's kinda like planning my trip to Belize.

That makes total sense, Kat. I treasure my all alone time even more than I do my nap time.
