Brian reminds me of Winnie-the-Pooh when he climbs up the dining room chair for his meals. Seeing his diaper-padded tushy sticking up in the air and his little feet wiggling while they try to get leverage is so awesome! It is enough to make me want to get rid of the highchair altogether. (Which I keep for emergency prison-like meals.)\
ETA- The little turd stole my Dove chocolate squares when I wasn’t looking! I forcibly made him trade them for a peppermint patty. He was not pleased. He knows the goodness of the Dove, even though he has never had one. Smart boy.

It’s been awhile, I know
There is a new episode of Veronica Mars tomorrow night. The verdict for last year’s killer will be revealed and we get more clues about this year’s killer. Woohoo! Check it out: Veronica Mars on UPN, Tuesdays at 9pm (unless preempted locally.)

Truth!
I believe in America. I believe it exits.

Blog Of The Day
Hey look, we’re the blog of the day!

Wish us luck!
For the first time since he was a newborn, I put the baby down to sleep without his pacifier (because he lost it after his nap). That had been happening more and more lately, so I just went with it. Hopefully he will go with the flow too. But wish us luck anyway.

Microformats a Go-Go
One day last week while the boys were watching TV, I decided to finally get this here blog up-to-date with microformats, especially since I’m all for them and keep telling people to use them. Might as well take my own medicine, right?\
As of sometime last week, the front page has three separate hAtom feeds and each entry has an hCard on it. I’ve been trying to find time to redo my resume (no, I’m not looking, this is just an excuse to use hResume), but haven’t had time (working nights and weekends will do that to you, along with the fact that I really need a haircut).\
I didn’t have time to remove the classes I had on there before and change the CSS, so the source looks a little cluttered, and nothing’s been done to the archives. I just didn’t have time (running theme, I know).\
If you see anything wrong, please let me know so I can fix it. -
Holy crap!
It cost me \$65 to fill up my gas tank this morning. Considering I don’t drive an SUV, HOLY CRAP!

He is crazy smart and I am just plain crazy
My head just exploded and I died, so I am posting this from the beyond. While the baby was playing with his cars on the floor, I was chatting online with a friend about the awesomeness that is Dick Casablancas. (He is a character from Veronica Mars, and if you didn’t already know that, shame on you.) And here is the head exploding part: while I was wasting time before dinner being completely trivial, my 6 year old son was figuring out the atomic mass for barium chloride. Thud. (That is me falling over after my head exploded.)

I’m home!
Mississippi was great! My parents seem very happy with their new home and city. Their house is really nice, with a gorgeous view of the lake from almost every room. I had such a good time, I even banned South jokes from the house and the kids’ ears.\
I know Kevin was happy to see me, but the boys didn’t really care I was home. I am choosing to think it is because they were in such capable hands of my wonderful husband that they didn’t NEED me. It’s nice to not be needed. Seriously, I am already planning my next trip alone. 🙂 -
Wicked Miles
I just checked and since January, I’ve already flown 29,599 miles. You need 36,000 to get Premier (you know: the silver card, shorter lines, infrequent free upgrades, no cost upgrades to Economy Plus), and I’ll have that before the middle of May.\
You know, when I first started traveling for work, I thought it was really cool. There’s still a thrill every time I go to a new place, but it’s starting to get a little old. I’ll have 45,000 miles before June first.\
Yes, being home with the kids has made me think of traveling… does that make me horrible?
