So E either let me sleep through the night (or woke me up only once). I can't remember being woken up, which is a good sign. So I feel pretty good.

We watched Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins on HBO last night. (We recently got HBO just for the Big Love season.) I really liked Roscoe. Despite watching it HBO-style (i.e., missing the first 45 minutes), I knew what was going on and it was funny but not crude (well, it had a couple of moments, but they were still somehow wholesome). Martin Lawrence tends to be wholesome, I think. So does Queen Latifah, actually.

E watched the movie with me. I realized the key to E's movie happiness is to remove the batteries and small plates from a couple of remote controls and give them to him. We also have a phone we don't use, so I gave him that as well.

I also found out that my inner child is male. I like the idea of having an inner child all fierce and wild :) It also explains why I don't like shopping.

How does one find out the gender of their inner child? Ultrasound?

I think kids are universally attracted to remote controls. My friends' 2-yr-old was left unsupervised for less than a minute and he managed to get a hold of the remote, press several buttons in the direction of the TV, and order some Latin porn.

I love Big Love too! We just got HBO for that very purpose (oh, yeah, and watching Entourage too...)

We'll have to discuss.

Oh, and as for your question about names...we are keeping it under wraps for now due to opinionated family members. :)

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t

The return of Rudolph

Rudolph is our small furry friend, whom I've never seen. He visited the kitchen last night while D was up late. I know this because: 1) A large sonic device is plugged in right in front of the crack between the oven and the wall. The sonic devices in the living room have kept Rudolph away from there, his previous hideaway. Apparently the cracks between appliances and the wall are harder to reach. 2) The mop has been moved from the hall closet to the kitchen closet. This means D tried to capture Rudolph. 3) A turtle magnet I haven't seen in a while is now on the fridge. That means it fell behind the oven and D found it during his interactions with Rudolph. (I am praying hard that Rudolph is a boy, since we don't want to find many small Rudolphs.) What makes me feel better about this whole thing is that mice are apparently everywhere this winter; even my brother has had problems with them. And this little guy seems to stay behind the oven and only appears around 4 am (only D

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.
