Oh MY God. Grey's Anatomy: So not only was Bailey's son injured because his mother was "off at work" but the culprit was falling MEDICAL BOOKS?
Were they out of actual anvils?
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Frances makes me think of that children's book series. I dont' remember what kind of animal she is, but...
I think "Tea for Frances" was the book I had.

A a quasi baby name geek, I can't help mentioning that the list everyone was looking at was of babies born to people who are registered for babycenter.com, so assume some demographic selecting. If you want national data, search for the social security lists (2006 is the latest available; 2007 won't be out until mid-year). The best baby name blog (IMO) is Laura Wattenburg's.

Badger! Tea for Frances, Bedtime for Frances, Bread and Jam for Frances, Best Friends for Frances... all with some of the snarkiest made-up songs in late-20th c. children's books. yah... Burrell - you might want to pick some of those up for Franny. Iris is loving the songs. Singed, with an e.
Has anyone seen the Kevin Henkes book Chrysanthemum? It's about having an odd name - pretty good for the pull-up set.

I love Chrysanthemum. It's great when taught w/ a Cisneros piece "My Name" from House on Mango Street.

You don't get up this early for work?!?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's kind of ridiculous how often Bread and Jam for Frances comes up in my daily life.
ION, turns out that taking a 12-hour non-drowsy decongestant in the evening? Terrible idea. Really really bad. I spent a lot of time lying in bed last night listening to my ears ring.

My name isn't on that list! I'm astonished. I've always thought that Karen is the boringest, commonest name going. Maybe I'm becoming exotic.

My gram's name is Frances, Burrell, so it makes me think happy thoughts.
So was mine, but it was my bad grandma, so it's nice to see the name with a better carrier. (And who doesn't love Bedtime for Frances - nobody, that's who.)
My good grandma's name was Grace. And her middle name was Matilda. True fact.
