It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Plus Bob got tenure, which we literally found out one hour after putting in the offer-- thankfully since the house is in the same suburb as his school. Sorry for absconding with All The Luck, guys!

I have tons of pics but I'm always afraid of littering facebook with the scourge of your-kids-are-not-as-cute-as-you-think-they-are. But I will post one for you!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I feel like up to one picture/video per day in the first year of life is fine!

Congrats to Bob!!

bon bon, a belated congratulations! Facebook has hasn't been showing me my entire friends list lately, and I somehow managed to miss that you had a baby!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Seriously. (I have a FB friend who has posted over 500 pictures of her baby, who is turning 6 months this week. I know I'm not a parent, but -- that seems OTT.)

Because books.

I will look at all the baby pictures, all the time, seriously.

I don't think we're actually friends on Facebook, though, bon.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hooray tenure!

I wonder if I will actually get the potato salad for tomorrow's potluck made tonight or if I will find myself chopping root vegetables at 5 am. Again.

This is what I'm saying.

Punishingly Intricate

What's the story about going to Iceland for the eclipse? I couldn't find the original posts about it but we were looking at airline prices today and they aren't too bad. I want to see the Northern Lights too (never have)! Think they'll be happening then?

Congrats on all the big life things, bon bon! Especially smiley baby!

Amy is me. I'm pretty much only on Facebook for cute baby photos. Otherwise I would have fled from annoying relatives ages ago.

Buying a house AND tenure AND a smiling baby? Sounds like serious win to me. Also I third the request for pictures.

I wish I had good advice for ita. I hope Drew is on his way to Ireland now. I think a TSA guy at the San Diego airport just recognized me, which is frightening because I'm not at THIS airport all that often!
