Four hours, 45 minutes!

To bed at 7:30, minor crying. Cried at 10 wanting to nurse, on and off for more than 20 minutes, then up to nurse at 11:45. Then slept until FOUR THIRTY. Still sleeping, as was mr. flea (twin lazybones!) when I left at 7:20.

You must understand, this is the first time she has slept more than 4 hours in a row since that one miraculuous night at 3 months when she did 5. Me too, of course.

meara is coming and maybe this will be the kick in the pants I have been needing to get the NCistas together!

talking to the void

You know, even though I am in theory talking to the void here, I feel more listened to than I usually do at b.org. Even if there's no response. So, a few thoughts:

Drank a Snapple Lime Green Tea for lunch and it was ech, while I've loved it before. Realized after I was done it was "diet" which means the ech was whatever artificial sugar they use to make it no-calorie. Ech.

My boss purchased a READ poster for me at this past weekend's library conference. It is of Orlando Bloom. Now, I like our Orli just fine, but it's not like I sing his praises around the office, nor do I in fact squee over him in general. He's a cute, fun bloke who seems like a very young man to me. So why does she have this idea I'm obsessed with him? She also told me yesterday I should make sure that my "peer group" votes in the upcoming election. Um, I'm a 31 year old parent - my peer group is mostly people with a lot of stake in this election (it elects the school board, among other things). These two facts combined make me wonder if my boss has forgotten that I am an adult and not a college student. Also, I have been directed to hang the poster in the office, which is a pity as while it is nice I don't care much about it and was planning to offer it to someone who might care more, like ita or my fangirly 17 year old sister.

I had a third thing but forgot it. Ach.

harvest

The thing I forgot was, 2 more San Marino tomatoes (one bitten by squirrel), one more Better Boy.
