ARGH...

I am feeling very, very depressed. I hate winter. And there are millions of little annoying things that have piled up to become THE BLOB. Please post a link in the comments box to something amusing to cheer me up.

Please pray for my cousin Mary and her husband Lee, and their unborn baby. Baby is due any day now, and they are worried Mary will have a difficult labor. Thanks.

O.O.: "I bet it was funny to watch."

If I used this sort of thing, I would boycott this product...

O.O., exhausted: "When I dream about falling asleep, I dream about falling asleep while driving. And it's really pleasurable."

Zorak: "You know, honey, married couples don't have to share EVERYTHING."
O.O.: "I saved my Kleenex for you."

Baby V Update, Stardate 23895728942389472893:

Baby V now begrudgingly eats 1/2 Cheerios. But only after we have reassured her that they are really, really intended for consumption. Just started on liquid zucchini. To prepare her for the real world. Resists diaper changing as the cat resisted Pepe LePeu. LOVES crawling around the house. Now understands that her baby fence is indeed a fence. Almost standing independently. Enjoys pawing things off shelves. Lots of cute blond curly hair.

'I Will Eat Your Dollars' - Los Angeles Times: "The e-mail scammers here [Nigeria] prefer hitting Americans, whom they see as rich and easy to fool. They rationalize the crime by telling themselves there are no real victims: Maghas are avaricious and complicit.
To them, the scams, called 419 after the Nigerian statute against fraud, are a game.
Their anthem, 'I Go Chop Your Dollars,' hugely popular in Lagos, hit the airwaves a few months ago as a CD penned by an artist called Osofia:
'419 is just a game, you are the losers, we are the winners.
White people are greedy, I can say they are greedy
White men, I will eat your dollars, will take your money and disappear.
419 is just a game, we are the masters, you are the losers.'"

Happy Birthday Baby V -

Not her 1-year, but nine-month, yesterday. To celebrate she went in for her nine-month checkup. She is still 75th percentile in height, weight and head circumference (baby brain!): 28 in., 21 lbs 6 oz, and 18 1/4 in., respectively. Healthy all around.

The Abortion Debate No One Wants to Have: "If it's unacceptable for William Bennett to link abortion even conversationally with a whole class of people (and, of course, it is), why then do we as a society view abortion as justified and unremarkable in the case of another class of people: children with disabilities?"
"...The abortion debate is not just about a woman's right to choose whether to have a baby; it's also about a woman's right to choose which baby she wants to have."

Dave Barry: Holy Dow! I'm giving a tip on some hot stox: "The Dow represents the Old Economy, defined as 'companies that still write on animal skins.' These are the obsolete, dinosaur companies that are still trying to make money by - get ready to laugh - actually manufacturing some kind of product. Ha ha! This concept has two big economic flaws. First, it involves labor, which is, almost by definition, work. "

Townhall.com :: Columns :: The wrong kind of Prison Fellowship by Chuck Colson: "Furthermore, Wahhabi influence over the selection of federal prison chaplains is well-documented. Given Saudi Arabia?s resources and intent to spread its brand of Islam, it would be foolish not to expect similar efforts at the state and local level. "

Townhall.com :: Columns :: The swingin' pedulum of feminism by Suzanne Fields: "While many in high fashion continue the never-ending search for avant-garde shock, there's nevertheless a recognizable yearning today by young women for fashion both feminine and romantic. Certain shows in Paris are responding, for better and sometimes worse, to satisfy wishes for ruffles, pompoms and bows, something described as 'girlie-girl frilly' and 'powder-puff prettiness.' One New York buyer at the Paris shows harrumphed: 'But what if you're not a virgin?' "

Exodus Media Synopsis: Dr. Phil Show and audience manipulation: "'Yesterday (10/5), the Dr. Phil Show taped a show with three segments relating in some way to youth and sexual orientation. I first learned of the planned taping via colleague Floyd Godfrey. Floyd was called by the producer of the show looking for people who were ex-gay and willing to talk about it. I suggested several people as did Floyd. Eventually, David Kyle Foster was chosen to appear on the show.
Prior to the taping I learned from reading ex-gay watch that the Dr Phil Show collaborated with GLAAD to 'fill the audience with GLAAD supporters and allies.' - Warren Throckmorton, Oct. 6, 2005 "

Happy 6th Anniversary to O.O. and me!

Baby is now saying "Mommy!" Not all the time, but some of the time!

O.O. says, "General Tso had a really obnoxious, sarcastic brother named General Tso What."

I am really regretting teaching him about puns.

Yesterday, he said, "One day, when we're both in heaven and our bodies don't matter, they can put our brains in a cage and let them fight each other."

Life, worth the cost: "The pastor of the Torres' parish writes in the bulletin: "Baby Susan herself, by her very weakness and helplessness, forced us to reexamine our standards. In her, as in all the unborn who silently appeal to us for life, we encounter the truth that, 'God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong' (1 Cor 1:27). They demand that we set aside our mercantile, quid-pro-quo view of the world. We do not measure success by a long life, or wealth, or pleasure, or fame. We measure success by fidelity to love. Susan called us out of ourselves and forced us to reorder our lives according to the standards of love, not the world. Because the success of love is in the loving. "

I'm not thinking too much about this nomination because it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DEPRESSING.
This is it. This is the only thing that matters to MILLIONS of people who voted from him. THIS IS THE ONLY THING I EXPECTED HIM TO DO FOR ME.
And I get this.

Harriet Miers's Blog!!! via Mark Shea. It is funny.

Baby got her photo made today.

She is very good at posing. However she refuses to lie on her back for a "baby grabbing her toes in the air" photo. She only does that when it's time to sleep, otherwise, she will not regress!

She also says "Dada" now, and knows that it means Daddy. However, she also thinks it means Mommy. She is starting to say something that sounds like "Mama," but not there yet.

O.O. says, "The animals must think we're really stupid because we can't walk right away. But then we kill them and eat them, so it's kind of moot."
