Further notes from the trip

The Dillo got, as presents: 6 one-piece suits, 3 shirt and pants suits, and 10 onesies, plus my gift of bear hat and jacket, two toys, and a savings bond. I am drowning in baby clothes, but I think he'll wear 'em all, as we are on the verge of outgrowing the 6-9 month baby jammies.

We got Galaxy Quest the movie! I am dying to watch it, and am trying to remember if it would be scary/inappropriate for Casper. I think it's PG, and the violence is just space-blaster stuff, not graphic.

I regret to note that my father's powder room is no longer wallpapered in flocked black panthers with glowing yellow eyes. It is now painted pale blue, although it still has a black toilet and sink.

Okay, I ran out of steam. I am all a-twitter with grandiose ideas about start-of-year cleaning projects, but singularly lacking in energy to tackle them.

In conclusion, NCistas, know anywhere to get good kielbasa, now that Fowler's has closed? We have Polish new year's traditions to uphold!

There are a couple of torture scenes in Galaxy Quest--I mean, nothing graphic in the sense that there's blood or anything, but Bad Guy Makes Nice Friendly Alien Scream. Might or might not bother her, obviously.

No ideas on the kielbasa, but I mourn the passing of Fowler's. Yet again.

Speaking of baby clothes, have you checked out the Hanna sale? There are some really adorable sweaters that I almost want to buy even though I have no one to wear them, just because they are so damn cute. I suppose it's good for out budget that Hanna has no real summer clothes right now.

Um, yes. It's a good thing my mother gave me a little mad money when she was here.

And you realize that summer clothes will be out in a couple of months...

Yeah, the summer stuff is dangerous because she can wear it until she outgrows it.

Oh, I've been meaning to ask - how's Dillo doing at daycare?

Except for the cold (first I am sure of many), just fine. Eats & naps for them, doesn't seem to have affected him much at all. As I pretty much expected. He'll start going full days on Tuesday (9-4).
