New Ryan milestone: today, he grabbed my glasses for the first time. I am certain it won't be the last.

Emmett broke two of my glasses in his baby and toddler days. I even switched to contacts for a couple years.

Yeah, Trudy, I suspect he may refuse to pay for half the cable bill b/c he claims he doesn't watch tv. That would suck, but right now I'll take it. And it doesn't sound like he'll be there much, either. I think his actual words were "like a ghost."

I gave up wearing hoop or dangly earrings until my kids were well into toddlerhood.

Of course, that didn't stop Abby from nearly rendering me blind by clawing at my eye ten days post-surgery (accidentally-- she lost her balance and I was Right There).

Yeah, Trudy, I suspect he may refuse to pay for half the cable bill b/c he claims he doesn't watch tv. That would suck, but right now I'll take it.

I would say "fine, but the second I see you watching TV, even if I'm watching it, cable kicks in"

Also, if he's going to be a cheapskate, make sure that you get everything in writing.

Our logic was similar.

Yeah, ours was, "If you DO put in an air conditioner this gets renegotiated". He never did put in an AC and he is very much the promised blinvisble man.

Cheerleader Hunts and Kills 10 Foot Alligator

And she used a CROSSBOW.

Hey, my next potential potential future wife is from South Carolina!

...I hope she wasn't the alligator.

Hey, my next potential potential future wife is from South Carolina!

I can only assume the plan is to gather a list of potential wives and put it up to a vote in lightbulbs.

Trying to decide whether to take an evening course at Birkbeck, the part-time learning college at University of London. If I'm going to 'dip in' for just one or two modules, I can only take undergraduate courses. But uni is starting up again in Leeds, and I feel like I need some class discussion to encourage me to read again (especially with an unfinished dissertation hanging over me). Costs money, though. Hmm.

Ooh, I need to call my mother today.

I usually call about twice a week, more if something interesting happens. But we used to talk every single day, during the craziness of Simultaneous House Building. That was fun.

I do not know what to think about the crossbow-weilding cheerleader, other than I saw a crossbow for sale on craiglist yesterday and thought about getting it for the SO. But we have no crocodiles out here.

Take the class, Seska! It's never a bad thing. Okay, probably it sometimes is a bad thing, but yay learning!

Okay, another round of Facebook questions. The last names "Cameron-Smith" and "Rojas"? I think I know who Rojas is, now that I think about it.
