This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

YAY being down weight... that's a very good thing.

I'm still slowly putting things away after the house being sprayed. What a pain. all of the baby stuff is ziplocked, but we have to rewash pots and pans etc. which is a nightmare.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Go you, paperdol.

Whoot, brenda. I am so in love with your new place. Also, yay, frontloaders. Remember to leave the door of the washer open a bit after you're done to let any excess water evaporate (it can't naturally through the top).

Man, I just missed the best deal evah on craigslist frontloaders. He3t's for $800. Got email back from her at 11 last night, gone by 10 this morning. Whoops.

Our dog is everywhere, all the time. He's like, quantum dog. I have become accustomed to the perpetual dog hair, but I forget that other people aren't.

So, I've learned an important lesson about the color yellow. When your baby is already jaundiced, putting her in yellow is not a good idea: [link]

That's what I'm saying! Yellow is bad for him and my daughter.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm in a Panera in Manchester CT -- traffic has been horrendous, truly awful, from construction delays to rollovers, plus I've missed turns twice and gone miles out of my way. So I decided to get a sandwich and then saw there was a Panera right off the damn exit and I was like "I'm SAVED!"

Seriously, one of the worst drives not due to weather that I can remember. Probably if I wasn't bone tired it wouldn't feel quite so bad, but it would still be bad....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Go, paperdol! Losing while still having the things you want sometimes is the best.

Poor yellow Gracie.

I just got through the last Pile O' Paper. Yay! There's stuff to file and deal with still, but STILL. I do have one super embarassing situation: I found the check my grandmother sent me for my birthday last December, which she just recently called and asked about, and I swore I had gotten it (which, of course, I had....). Should I just shred it, or do I need to confess?

Now I'm starving.

PS: Anyone interested in opening an ING savings account? If I give you some code, and you open the account with at least $250, you get $25 from ING, and I get $10. Sweet deal all the way around!
