You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I sprained my toe yesterday at the same time my hard drive died.

bon bon, that totally sucks! busted feet aren't okay.

I'm sitting in the pink glider having returned from the enormous flea market at the Rose Bowl. Got a baby sling, a wipes container and other various and sundry stuff (cute bath towel! cute embroidered pillow case! cute wash cloths!) but I am spent. And I think I swallowed a bug.

Noah got to try out a new playmat yesterday - I think he likes it.

He's not so sure about the bebepod, however.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Poor bon! That is not fair. I think you should be allowed to feel quite put out. Somebody should bring you chocolate and DVDs.

Looking at Noah all bopping! Bop, Noah, Bop!

Today's question is: What are the most evocative titles for you?

I have certain titles for songs, stories, books and movies which swirl around in my head even when I haven't actually read or heard or seen the work in question.

Some examples:

"The Girls In Their Summer Dresses" - short story
In the Land of Dreamy, Dreams - novel
"Plunged Into Hell While at Cocktails" - song title
"Goodbye, Porkpie Hat" - song title

What titles rattle around in your head?

Noah may not be sure about the bebepod but he is just ADORABLE in it.

Hee. He's still a little too small for it, but he'll be ready soon enough.
