[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
His grandparents don't get memory-credit for that, but you and Wallybee don't either. He won't remember what has been done for him, but he'll know it on a deeper, not-quite-conscious level.
Yeah, it's not about getting credit for anything, nor about prioritising anything over anything else. It's more that Ryan deserves to know his grandparents, and they deserve to know him. We'd like that to happen.
Anyway, the day went well. After having observed him closely for a period of several hours, I conclude that Ryan remains full of awesomeness. Oh, and he has a top tooth now. He's 15% of the way to his full complement of baby teeth.
Meanwhile, Wallybee drove for her work today, and learned the true meaning of fear. (She's had her licence for about a week, and hasn't driven in the city during the work day before.) But she lives! Her parents took a boat out to the Great Barrier Reef. Her mum enjoyed it and her dad threw up. Still, he's fond of discussing the size of Chinese cities, parks, lakes etc compared to their Australian counterparts; I'll be interested to see what he thinks of the Reef.

Wow, bt - it's amazing and wonderful that you and Wallybee have had her parents backing you up! My DH went away for 5 days, and juggling the baby's needs (and the dog's) was a challenge. I am thinking about going to my yearly boondoggle next month at a spa/resort for one of my editing gigs without husband or baby - I missed it last year because I was 9 months pregnant, so I really should show up this year and I'm not sure we can afford to fly the family down.

Doo eeet. You need to look after yourself too.
Phew.
I know! It was on the knife edge, then he started giggling and playing peek-a-boo with his cuddle toy when I put him to bed. Way to come through in the clutch, tiny person.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Damn you, J. Peterman. How dare you have such lovely clothes that I would probably buy every single item in your catalog except that you don't carry plus sizes. You mock me, sir. I'm gonna lose 30 pounds and NOT buy your clothes, so there. Of course, when I've lost 50 pounds, then I will, so, you know, you should be sending me dextroamphetamines or something.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
We're at orientation. Heard an awesome talk on the history of the neighborhood and wetlands and storm. I learned some new things, even after three years. Now in safety training. Can't wait to get to site and start working!
Nora's friend's luggage got lost, which sucks. And I managed to bring only one leg of my zipoff pants. So we will need to find a thrift store or something.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
How awesome is social media? Today I've been virtually attending a 'digital researcher' conference at the British Library, via the magic of uploaded talks/slides on the website (for following the conference presentations), twitter (for networking with participants who were physically there), and various online directions that people's ideas have sent me. Fab. And accessible!
