[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.

I'm driving to Nashville tomorrow. I'm not packed. I haven't finished wrapping. The kitchen's a mess. Also, bah humbug.

Omg, so worth the wait. That kid has got to be the finest looking baby. Put him in commercials. Welcome to the world Shane. Be good to your mommies. And don't break too many hearts. GC, how you doing over there?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

bonny, it's good to see your font.

Aw, thanks Hon. It's nice to be seen.

I've been so busy focusing on the new site and networking like a mad thing. Plus, the snowpocalypse...but since the new site is even more finished than it was when I posted my 'view' request in Press today, I may just have more time to hand out in the near future.

Big, virtual, hug to ya.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Here's the sort of day I've had. Actually, let's start from yesterday, when Ryan had his eight-month check-up. He remains in the top 10% for height, weight and head circumference. He seemed to remember the nurse, and while he watched her intently, he was comfortable with her around. (By coincidence, this nurse was also on duty at the hospital the night Ryan was born, so she's known him as long as anyone.) She also tested his manual dexterity by giving him two small blocks. He took one, passed it rapidly to his other hand, and grabbed the second block with his thumb and forefinger. Apparently this trick usually appears around twelve months. We are, of course, ridiculously proud of him.

Today he continued his gorgeousness onslaught with many smiles and giggles for pretty much everyone. He had a new trick for us too - while lying on his tummy, he lifted said tummy clear off the ground, supporting himself on hands and knees. He doesn't have the balance worked out yet, but he's getting so close to crawling. (He can already manage a commando-style belly-shuffle, but only backwards. He's always so surprised when he runs into something.)

So anyway, the novelty hasn't yet worn off this whole parenthood thing. Then I got some nifty news today. I'd got my Uni results a couple of weeks ago, all quite respectable. Today I got a series of letters in the mail, from the head of the department. Apparently I placed first in all three subjects. I'm feeling pretty chuffed about that. So is my family, which is nice.

I've mentioned before that Wallybee and I are getting a lot of help from her parents. I asked her tonight to let them know how much I appreciated their help, and that I couldn't have managed my studies without them. She said she knew I felt that way, and she'd already told them.

I'm a lucky, lucky man.

Aw BT, you're an awesome guy.

Yay for Shane! He's so beautiful. I hope Glammommy is healing fast.

{{{erin}}} I hope you got that sleep.

Man, I was coming here to bitch, but Shane's pic and bt's post made me forget what I was cranky about: must be something related to my almost now chronic lack of sleep.

And congrats, bt!
