I opened gifts at my baby shower. Can't remember what I did for my wedding - actually, I can't remember if I even HAD a wedding shower. Huh.
Bye, now. Have good sex.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

And is there any way to donate a used breast pump? Those things are spendy, there's got to be someone who needs it who can't buy it any other way?
Burrell-- how about a women's shelter? A lot of times those women have to run out with nothing and so many of them seem to have babies.

Well, you've managed to replace "Fish Heads" with "Welcome to the Jungle" as earworm of today, so thank you.

“Not dead yet!”
but I am not a soprano, and will have to be content with "Son of a Preacher Man" and "Black Velvet" and the like.
I'm a mezzo which, thankfully, allows me a lot of Dusty. "I Only Wanna Be With You", "You Don't Own Me" and "Anyone Who Had a Heart" are particular faves.
There's always "Twist and Shout" for getting a crowd going in that Ferris Bueller back when Matthew Broderick wasn't such a pansy sort of way.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Because books.

I tried that with some of our baby stuff (not a breast pump, though) and found what Burrell said was sadly true. Outside of clothes and things, they don't want any equipment that might have been recalled, or didn't have all of the isntructions with it, etc.

Ooh! Either of these would be AWESOME!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Masquerade would be a fun one, too.

That's a good idea, thanks Barb.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
If you aren't opening gifts -- there should be some sort of signal that tells people when the party is over. But as long as I don't have to play stupid games with strangers, I don't really care.
So, back to grammar. On NPR this morning I was listening to Janis Bell , the author of Clean, well-lighted Sentences. I am not one of the grammar geeks ( quel suprise!) around here.She was fascinating and very clear. She is pro serial comma ( though she acknowledges that others disagree) partly for clarity and ( and this was a new idea for me) partly because it gives equal weight to all of the items in a series.
