what day is it again?

pretty random stuff...

Princess PrettySchool laid it down today. I asked her if she wanted me to get her some more pull-ups, or if she wanted to go ahead and start wearing panties at night. (She's wearing panties all day; the pull-ups are just for sleeping.) I wanted to ask, because we're nearly out of pull-ups and she had a lot of accidents over the weekend -- an unfortunate combination of my distraction and her growth spurt. Said she: I want the pull-ups, Mom. Panties at nights is freaking me out. Okay, then. A fresh package of pull-ups she'll have. She's doing so well, I guess there's no particular need to push this.

Wearing the sailor pants gifted to me by the inimitable breathofgold, for the first time this season. They're baggy...almost baggy enough to seem ill-fitting rather than flattering. ::happy dance::

I've decided that putrid coffee at work is a blessing in disguise, keeping me from consuming more caffeine than I should. And somafm's Groove Salad is, well, groovy. Once again, my Palm is not charging up -- no chirpy beeping noises when I put it on the cradle or anything. The software is unsupported anymore, so perhaps this is the end. (sigh)

Princess Boredom got her school pictures yesterday and is pleased with them. She is also pleased with the seafoam/greeny-blue color of her bathroom walls and ceiling now. Second coat to go on this weekend, probably. Then it's time to sand and paint the woodwork, and start pricing the tiles for the floor. Getting the shower to work is a worry for another day, but it's coming along. :)

Tonight, I begin cutting sparkly fabric for the first of an eventual 140+ leotards for little teddy bears (due for a gymnastics meet in February). When she's older, I'll need to remind Princess !Kaboom that my love for her can be measured in yards of sparkly fabric and pounds of teddy bears. :)

Also, and. I thought Mercury wasn't going retrograde until the 28th?

On the palm - it is a common thing for cordless and cellphones for the contacts to tarnish over time. Try a pencil eraser on them if you haven't already. It sounds like your power isn't getting to your palm. I'm sure there is innuendo to be had somewhere in there, but I'm exhausted.

CRappy coffee is what I have here... after a while, my standard just lowers. I've drank it cold and with grounds in it. Drudgery will make even putrid things mellow.

Your note on coffee is not at all encouraging, mister.

I'll give your suggestions about my Palm a try, just as soon as I clean the iced tea off my monitor.

It ended up funny? I thought it might when I said it, but my brain could not figure it out.

About the only coffee snoppery I indulge in is hating the insta-cappachino. I used to drink it quite a bit, but it puts fuzzy bedroom slippers on my teeth, tongue, gums, and I imagine this fuzz ends up all over my insides where I can't brush. The stuff is dripping with the transfat
