Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

He's big enough for ice skates, but both K and I think he needs more on-his-feet time to get his balance better before we add blades and ice.

I have to admit, after reading about Jack Falla's backyard rink I sort of wish I lived in a place cold enough to build a backyard rink of my own.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oh, I'd have laughed louder if I'd been there. But I'd have tried to have hid it too.

Noah meets up with gravity way more often than you'd think. He shouldn't be surprised by it at this point.

He's a toddler, they toddle. Much like Weeble Wooble but they totally fall down.

It's the surprise that I find so funny. I mean, I test gravity way too often for my own good but I am generally not startled by it. Just frustrated. It's gravity, it's a law, I get that. I just hate that it's so mean to me.

This is when Noah is unknowingly grateful for cloth diapers. More gravity-padding.

I am a walking advertisement against (for?) gravity of late.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Gravity really sucks sometimes. I was just putting my new DVD/VCR combo into the cabinet and hooking it up, and unknowingly kept leaning on the shelves next to the cabinet, the shelves that are apparently a bit wobbly when leant on and which then disgorge the dvds off the top shelf onto one's head. I kept on getting bopped by BSG box sets!

And now I see that I need to buy an S-video cable to complete the hookup. Oh, well, I can at least view my dvds and record stuff on it--I just can't record new stuff off the tv yet.

The only reason I was hooking that up tonight was that my cable (both tv and modem) went out for two hours. My first thought was "I know I paid them this month!" and then I called to verify it was an outage. First one I've had since I moved here 2 1/2 years ago--not a bad record on Comcast's part.

Oh, and finally, if I read your post upthread correctly, a Happy Birthday to shrift might be in order here!!

Hippo Birdies, shrift!

Big family party tonight, but first I must drive 4 hours to it, so I'd better get on with that. This time I'm remembering a swimsuit, because the resort has a pool -- which will not necessarily be in operation, but it might be, so why be swimsuitless if it is?
