O the weather outside is frightful
But the spa is so delightful.

Dazed & Confused…but Healthy!
Got scoped this morning, and lemme tell ya…the stuff they shoot you up with before the procedure is magic. Magic! Don’t remember a damn thing about it. Before we got started I asked Dr. R. if he has e-mail, as there is a hilarious video about colorectal surgeons I want to forward to him (that I received from Stef, whose sense of timing is impeccable), and I was out as he was answering. I don’t think he has e-mail yet, but is going to get it. I don’t even know if I was able to tell him about the hilarious video.

Bet my colon is prettier than Katie Couric’s
Disclaimer: the timing of this post is all off, because I wrote it two nights ago but didn’t post until this morning. Why? Because I didn’t want to field a bunch of calls. Hopefully by the time you read this I’ll either be all scoped up, or post-scope and feelin’ fine. Anyway, I’ll post an update here as soon as I don’t feel loopy anymore and can ensure that my spelling and grammar won’t embarrass me, which, ironically, is more worrisome to me than what the doc might find. Must be all that training from The World’s Finest School of Journalism.

I’m baaaaaaack
Back at work after a blog hiatus. Sorry ’bout that…just needed some time in front of the daughter, not the computer, you know? Completely blissed out on four days of Zoe Time. We had so much fun. She’s really growing a lot now, and not just physically. Since she’s been self-feeding, we’ve noticed her fine motor skills have improved quite a bit. She can do things she used to not be able to manage, such as putting the rings back on her stacker, and the gears back on their posts on her engineery-gear toy that Aunt Margaret gave her. She’s on the verge of walking on her own, too. Still no sippy cup, though.

I’m thankful for calendars, too
Today is Wednesday, but feels kinda like Friday because we’re off tomorrow for Thanksgiving, which will make tomorrow feel like Saturday and Friday feel like Sunday, so Saturday will be very messed up because I’ll feel like it’s Monday when really I have two more days til I have to go back to work. That’ll make next Monday feel very odd, coming back in after so many days off, so perhaps it’ll feel like a Tuesday or even a Thursday.

Water water everywhere
…and not a drop to drink! Tonight was Zozo’s first bath in the Big Girl Tub. We had fun.

Market this
It really stinks when your bad mood coincides with the monthly management meeting. “Here’s your &^%$# marketing report.”

Sippy Cup Update
Since everyone is hanging on the edge of their seats, waiting for that first fateful sip from the sippy cup, I thought I’d let you all know…it hasn’t happened yet.

The countdown has started
It’s official now. We’ve invited the fam, all three actually, to come over to our house for the 2006 Grand Lighting. Actually, M’s prep work for it is much more rigorous than mine at this point. We’ve done the party so many times now that we’ve pretty much got it down. With the basement being already set up, we just throw some decorations about, stock the bar and call it a night. Rule of thumb: if you get everyone all good and liquored up, then your party is sure to be a hit.
