One more post before I actually start working -
Ellie is in New Mexico with my parents this week. My mom teaches second grade and since it's a very small school (my mom's class is the only 2nd grade in the district), Ellie got to be a 2nd grader for the day.
Part way through the day, they had a fire drill. The second graders were apparently a bit unnerved by the loud bells, but apparently Ellie was walking around telling everyone, "Team up! Team up!" (which I can only guess is what they do for her daycare fire drills. I know they do them every month, althoughI've never seen one.)
Oh, it was all in good fun.
I assumed so, but it's still good to hear. Sounds like you are having lots of fun on your trip so far.
Good sign of leadership skills, there. Should help out quite a bit, when the second generation of Buffistas take over the world.
Susan, perhaps a sign that says "John doesn't work here any more"?
And love the bear - hanging seems a bit extreme, but, yes, better than tied to the back of the van. Under that license plate.
Gronk. At 10:30, I tell Tom, "OK, we'll just watch the rest of the 5th inning and then go to bed." (The Sox were up something like 6?8?-1 at this point). A half hour later, at 13-1 and a pitcher that was walking batters home, I had to go to bed. It was a train wreck and I was exhausted. They'd batted everyone in the lineup and gone through 3 pitchers. Mostly with 2 outs. So it was still the 5th inning.
Yikes!
considers how awesome an extra 10K would have been when buying the house.
Ten grand is cheap? I am way, way out of touch with the wedding culture. I just... I, um, never mind.

I'm all dressed up and ready to go find coffee. I look all professional and shit. Craziness!
I see those nursing covers all over the place here in the land of the so-called Stroller Mafia. I don't have one myself, but I don't think they're entirely unpractical - nursing a 4-month old in public is close to impossible without a cover because they're so distractable. It's less about modesty and more about restricting the number of things your baby can pay attention to so he won't turn his head 180 degrees with your nipple still in it. (And having the neck strap means he can't pull it off, which is the problem with just using a recieving blanket.)
