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.
