Welcome to Baby Moon!
Naturally, I find the name extremely appealing.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Welcome to the world, little Aeryn! I'm sorry it's such a mess; we'll try to tidy the place up for you. But it's really a lovely place, despite our bumbling efforts (maybe you can help us out--your namesake is incredibly strong and brave and loving). I think you'll like it here.
And, of course, you totally won the lottery with your mom, dad and big brother!

Congratulations to Jess and all the family, and congrats to Aeryn on having the good taste to be born to such a family!
(I'm sure she will have a much better relationship with her mother than her namesake. *grins*)

shrift, thanks for the advice on the computer. I'm not sure I even know how to do that, but I'll give it a shot.
Start by hitting F8 when you boot the computer. Choose Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking. Run an AV scan, and cross your fingers that it detects your malware. After that, if you reboot normally and the malware doesn't take over everything, then Bob's your uncle.
If that doesn't get rid of it, I'm sure there's more than one Buffista who can walk you through killing the malware with fire in Tech.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Oh that's lovely news this morning. Congrats to the Alters.
Also, this quote from my niece made me think of msbelle:
When I get big and go on the school bus it will be painted pink!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Welcome, Aeryn! What wonderful news to start the day with!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Yay, Alters! Excellent name!

So it turns out that I'm staying at the Omni only Sunday and Monday nights. Tuesday and Wednesday nights, I'll be at the Westin South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa. I have no idea what this means, geographically, but I thought I should let you all know!
ETA: edited to remove the ASSCAPS that reflect me slowly losing my marbles. It's unseemly.

As part of my New Year attempt to be more productive, I have printed out the Cult of Done Manifesto and put it up in my cubicle.
Clearly that's enough onerous tasks for the day, right?

So on Monday, I'd love to get together!
