I really doubt it will knock you out. It doesn't work that way. It quiets the brain for sleep rather than knocking out. Also, check your e-mail.

many kids assume that their parents will always know when they're lying because they think that their parents know everything they're thinking - it just doesn't occur to a really young child that what's in their mind isn't also in their parents' minds

Absolutely! That kind of torment must be intense.

As for bilibo--normal bowls don't have videos. That's why they don't cost $30.

Also, check your e-mail.

Got it, thanks. We'll see how things go this weekend.

K. Let me know. And good luck!

normal bowls don't have videos.

Ohhhhhh. Well worth the expense then.

[Actually, looking at that page, it's a lot bigger than I'd originally thought. But still.]

I've already told GF and all parents that if I have a boy, he will wear a Hello Kitty onesie! Luckily they all think it's adorable.

I was a total tomboy as a kid and had tons of boy toys and lots of boy friends (not boyfriends) - my fave thing to do was skateboard. Now I'd say I'm more girly-girl, but I don't wear dresses/skirts. I want to honor whatever my child is/becomes. I can't imagine inflicting such pain on your own child, especially at such a young age. Don't you just want to hug little Bradley?

I am at work this morning! Yay! Yes, you read that right - YAY! Reasons, you want reasons? Ok (1) Work does not include a barfy kid, (2) Work does not include staring at my house hoping someone else will fall in love with it and want to pay ooooodles of dollars to have it, (3) Work does include my new position being OFFICIAL, (4) Work does include me being able to finish a task and get that feeling of accomplishment, and finally (5) Work does include a lunch in my honor, thanking me for 15 years of organizing office morale events.

Hey Tep, Daisy, Brenda...Next time you're in SF we're going here.

Yes! Even better if next time were at the same time.

Hi, everyone. Scott and I met P-C the other night, which was very nice. I had to leave early-ish though, because I developed some sort of throat-fever ick, and there wasn't even too much candy involved.

Bilibo reminds me of the hat that Fat Albert character used to wear. It's a positive bargain in comparison to the other toys this retailer sells. I hope all those playthings come in sturdy cardboard boxes, because that's what kids really like -- cardboard boxes. And newspaper.

Well, it's nice to see that 16 years later I'm *still* being told by academic advisors that my choice of degree is "pretty unmarketable" and that I should consider becoming bilingual in Spanish.

Grrrr.
