vw, I'd say go for the DVDs if you want. The buzz I've heard from other parents is that nobody really buys the hype about their educational value -- their true worth is in their magical ability to keep babies and toddlers interested long enough for Mom to take a shower.
Mighty fine shindig.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

move out and draw fire
What Jessica said. The DVDs are gold because you can get 30 minutes of peace and not be worried the kid's going to freak out about something on the screen.
Yay for nothing, Beverly!
Yay for Glen coming home, Anne.
Anybody wear a size 8 shoe? I have some awesome J Peterment French 1940s shoes that I bought like 10 years ago, and have only worn a handful of times because my feet refuse to shrink to size 8, no matter how gorgeous the shoes are.

(Also, this may be the first time any of you have ever seen my natural hair color, since my stylist cut off most of the existing blue and I haven't had time to redye it yet. A rare opportunity!)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Jessica, you look so cute with your hair short. Good looking kid, too.

I am indifferent to Mom's new haircut
I'm not! And to think you had it down to your waist in college.
Oh yeah, the baby's adorable. Maybe even more than adorable. Do we have a word for that yet? Mordorable?

All is well that ends in pizza.
From Slashdot:
"Come Monday, no more Indiana University searches will be powered by computer-driven Google. Only by people-powered ChaCha. The move was announced by new IU President Michael McRobbie, who until recently sat on ChaCha's Board of Directors. IU will draft hundreds of librarians and IT employees to be ChaCha Guides for the university's websites, although a FAQ accompanying IU's press release tells librarians not to expect any checks for their efforts from ChaCha, which IU notes is backed by Amazon's Jeff Bezos and Compaq founder Rod Canion." >[link]Oh yeah. That's going to go over well. (emphasis mine)
ETA: This sounds like a reverse of the movie "The Desk Set".

Now tagless for your comfort.
Jessica, that cut is of the awesome! And I'm going to agree with cutenss of said baby.
"Mordorable" sounds sort of Sauron-like.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Great haircut and adorable baby. (And I see you've got an Amby. Best baby invention ever, IMHO.)

Our wings are not tired.
You look wonderful, Jessica. Mommyhood clearly suits you. Cute baby too.
The cynical side of me notes that the Republican National Convention is in Minneapolis next summer.
I hope it works in your favor and something happens quickly.

Cute AND evil, just the way we like 'em.
