And out of the blue Dylan is now telling me he has two nipples. I guess I'm proud of him for the accurate counting?

(He also has taken to pointing to his penis and exclaiming "It's Mommy and Daddy's penis!!" The logic, I suppose, being that everything else he thinks is really awesome belongs to us and not to him, so why not this? Nipples, penis, and farting, though. The transition from baby to boy is now complete.)

I am beat from the zoo, too! And had yummy Mexican dinner! We are as one. I am also feeling pleased with myself because I took the rest of the can of refried beans and froze it in single-serving tostada-shaped blobs.

Andrea Mitchell is reporting that Palin has told her allies she's out of politics completely.

I wouldn't believe a word that woman said even if she told me the sky was blue.

Jon Stewart blew a few good holes in the Prez's image last night.

I'm so annoyed with Obama right now. I'm not sorry I voted for him, but I want to throttle him for his bullshit on gay rights.

The Daily Show piece focused on the promises of transparency that are far from being realized. This makes me sad.

Tep is me.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I feel. It's disappointing.

I think there is or was an investigation of Palin coming down the pike. I can't imagine another reason she'd be talking about wasting time and money. If she was just tired of politics (hard to believe that), then I think we'd be hearing about spending time with her family.

There is no way this is to concentrate on 2012, quitting in the middle of your term would sink her if she ran.

The lame duck stuff is just nuts. How about all the governors on their last term-limited term? Of course, it is Palin so who knows.

This, too.

I never thought he was perfect, and expect him to screw up, but it's the saying one thing and then doing another (i.e., transparency, gay rights) that pisses me off. Mistakes are one thing, but flat-out contradictions and lies are bullshit.

I hope it isn't health issues for her or her family. That press conference was bizarre.

I have a new bed! It's a lot higher and firmer than my old one. We'll see how it goes. I flopped on a lot of mattresses, and this hard thing was the only one that didn't put a pressure point on my hip and shoulder. Not sure why, since HARDER except maybe it forces me to lie in a better position. Anywho. Old bed is set up in the other bedroom.

Failed at DSW to find shoes for the trip. I don't want white! I don't want pink! My stupid feet are shaped funny! I can't believe how fast this trip is approaching. I also need a raincoat. I have one, but I bought it back when I was sailing, so it is rubberized and not great it you are exerting yourself.

Eating chimichurri rice with pinto beans and roasted corn from TJs. Pretty damned good, even cold (I didn't feel like reheating it.)

Yes, there are a number of things Obama's done, or not done, that have annoyed me. And a number I've quite liked. I know the proportions would be much more skewed to "not liked" if McCain-Palin had been elected, but there's something extra annoying when it's someone you voted for pissing you off.

Nipples, penis, and farting, though. The transition from baby to boy is now complete.

Give him a beer and he'll be set to pledge the frat of his choice.
