Here I am, working on a holiday. Boo Hoo. Yeah whatever, it's 4 hours and easy work at that.
Went down to CT to watch the Giants throw the game to the Patriots. As I said to Purge, I was looking forward to a GAME at least, something worth yelling at the tv for, anyway. Hey, the Pats won so I won't look a gift horse in the mouth. There was great food and great company, so I was psyched. And you could hardly smell the skunk that nasty stupid dog got hit by. Poor dumb Gus.
Tempest gave me a beautiful necklace for my birthday that is this cool color change glass. Boogie Shoes gave me a unique wire wine rack and a couple of bottles of yummy wine. I think I'm having the white tonight with dinner. I've got to remember to ask her where she got the rack.
Gotta get ready to head out of here. Hope all is well.
Peace out.

I'm back at the radio station for 1/2 day today and Monday.
Let's see - what has happened in my life in the past week. We went out to dinner (on the radio station) last Friday night and had a great time while baby slept. Weekend weather was questionable, so didn't do a whole lot. Went to Grips house for dinner Saturday night. Blixx was telling a story and Cass laughed for the first time!!!! We were gunna watch a movie but by the time V was out of the bath it was almost 10pm and we had to get the baby back home to get into the sack, as we're trying to get her on a kind of twisted schedule. Yeah right. Sunday we stayed in our PJ's all day and watched the Patriot's game and ate fried cheese. I made brownies and we just cuddled up indoors watching Boston sports teams kick ass. I hate baseball, but I am glad that the Sox are looking good, as it improves the mood in the entire state. Monday and Tuesday we ran errands and did stuff around the house. Wednesday my mother came up for a visit and drove me nuts. Yesterday I took Cass to Wells State Park and walked around the camp site areas for the day. I took some great pictures of her in the woods. I got a great workout walking the paved roadways with the stroller.
Cass is sleeping 6-7 hours at a time now, and we gave her some rice cereal the other day. She's been watching us eat with interest for some time so I figured what the heck. She seemed to enjoy the experience so we'll try again one of these days.
My mother let the baby fall off the couch the other day. Yeah, she leaned her up on a (silk = slick) pillow then looked away. She rolled right off. Luckily my mom was able to catch her with her legs to absorb most of the impact, but there was still a great deal of crying and carrying on...the baby is fine, but my trust in my mother is out the window. Ok, so I never did get that trust. I've got reservations about leaving her alone with her grandmother...how sad is that?
Blixx dropped her again today. He had her in a blanket like a hammock carrying her around and she slipped out onto the bathmat. Again, there was crying but she's ok. We should probably stop with the head dropping or she's gunna be not quite right.
She's getting so big...I really can't say enough about her. Still gotta figure out that picture thing so I can share her beauty with the world.
Nightskye sent me an e-mail, which was cool, except that for some reason I can't reply cuz his address is blocked. Hmmm.
Gunna head down to CT to watch the football game with Tempest & Purge this Sunday and I'm really looking forward to it. Of course, the Pats are going to win.

Greetings again faithful readers, whoever you may be.
I'm working today...wacky to be somewhere other than home with the little one. My friend Birdgirl called in a panic last night looking for a recepionist for her radio station biz office so I decided what the heck...paid under the table and I got to hear a little bit of Vertical Horizon play upstairs. Jason Mraz is playing later on and I hope to be able to catch some of that show too, but we'll see. Phones aren't that busy so I've been able to check some blogs (Nightskye is back! Tempest has been writing again!!) and make some headway on the latest Harry Potter.
Strange that Cassidy is so far away. I've only called to check on them once and Blixx says all is well. She's a little pissed about the bottle feeding, but she'll get over herself and eat up when she's a starvin marvin. I think it will be good for Blixx to see just how hard it is to get daily grind stuff done when the princess is fussy.
Not that she's too fussy. She's sleeping in longer stretches now - with 7 hours being her all time record. She's awake most of the day now and actually has fun when we take her out and about. We went to the furniture store last night to look for a glider for her room and she had a great time in the snuggly watching the world go by. The wall of mirrors blew her little baby mind. She isn't laughing yet, but she's very close and definately smiles big and wide when she's happy.
I went to a working woman lunch with Preacher at the local sushi joint and had a bento box lunch that was out of this world, with vegie & shrimp tempura and loads of other stuff. I probably should have gone home and breastfed my child, but it has been nice to be away. And you should see my rack right now, all high and firm and ready to burst. They feel like fake boobs - or what I imagine fake boobs feel like.
Pause to allow the imagination to go there.
OMG I miss my daughter!!! I think a part time job is pretty much the most that I can handle...I couldn't bear the thought of her being away from me and in someone elses care all day. At least I know she's got Blixx's undivided attention today. Blixx & I have talked (wonder of wonder, but we actually talk more now since we have important things to say, like poop and spit up counts) and decided that for as long as we can swing it financially, I'll stay at home with Cassidy. All of our bills are getting paid right now, with pizza and beer money left over so we're doing great. Blixx has been working his ass off for the past two months and with any luck at all that trend will continue. If his business slacks off over the holidays, which history tells me it will, then I'll get a part time gig at a retailer. Maybe Best buy...so I can buy all your Christmas gifts there at a discount. Or at Kids R Us so I can discount stuff for the baby. I will have to ponder.
Birdgirl just cut me a check and gave me 2 $25 gift certificates to local restaurants - woo hoo! Not too shabby for a day of web surfing and book reading. I'd promise to write more, but I just can't be sure that she'll let me. Best bet is that if you want to know what's going on in my life or share a story, then by all means give me a call or drop me an email HERE.
