Happy Birthday, Lee!
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

I need to delete 20,000 emails from a mailbox. Using an interface that only allows me to mark 500 at a time.
I woke up at 5:30.
Still had to bucket bathe. And I scalded two fingers pouring the kettle into the camp shower. And got shampoo in my eye and it still burns.
I get to spend the day sheparding a visitor.
I really just want to take a long, hot shower.

sarameg, would it be useful to try contacting IT? They may have admin tools that are much more comprehensive than are allowed to mere mortalsusers.

I'll probably do that, now that I've beaten back the tide enough that MY mailbox isn't being flooded with error messages (those I can delete easily!) They hate us having this mailbox, so every time we mention it, they try to get it killed.

Baby update!
Dylan enjoyed his first vacation quite a bit even though he did NOT enjoy the parts of the train ride where he was strapped into the Ergo carrier (which we have since started calling the Portable Baby Cage). Can't blame him, really -- I don't like wearing it while sitting down either, but as an adult I'm not allowed to express my discomfort by screaming and wailing. Life's unfair.
This morning, Dylan shared his first shriek (that noise that babies make when they've been babbling for a while and suddenly realise that they're the one making those sounds!!!), and also rolled over from his stomach to his back, AND is right this very minute experiencing the first day of transitioning into daycare with his Daddy. It's a big week in Babyland!

Ann, that's a ferret.
Happy Birthdays, Lee and Board!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, is that the first unpleasant milestone?

Heh - it's still kind of cute right now, but I can see it getting old reeeeeeeeeal fast. Good thing he's going into daycare!

Happy Birthday, Lee!!
I got sunburned this weekend. Also:
Thank you all for your support as I figured out how to work with balloons and a song that could potentially be in a language I don't speak (it ended up being the English version so phew).

I got a huge, huge ass basket of prizes from merchants in the neighborhood. And, yet, I still have to work for a living. sheesh.
