Here is everything I'm thinking about today, in no particular order or coherency. (When I think, it's not grammatically correct.)

How long will it take Claire to figure out that if she's quiet enough she can get up out of her new toddler bed and prowl around her room and I won't know?

I deleted shortcuts to a few blogs off my desktop today (not yours, don't worry), because they were bugging me, and I realized the best way to make them not bug me was simply not to read them anymore. (I'm kind of slow sometimes.) I very much like this community of sharing lives, sharing ideas, sharing creativity, leaving comments for each other. However, as soon as "all hail to me" or "I'm a glorious princess -- worship me" starts to be a theme, I get disgusted. I don't want anything to do with that. Does it feed something bad in people, when they're fawned over? I think so. I think being idolized is bad for the people receiving it and for the people doing it. Makes me sad.

We've been babysitting my mother-in-law's Corgi, Winston, for a few weeks. He's going back home this weekend. He used to be our dog, along with our Hyacinth, but after Claire was born I was unhappy with two dogs, because they were so hyper together. My mother-in-law, who loves Winston, graciously took him. (Hyacinth is very calm when Winnie is not around to egg her on.) It has been temporarily hyper again, and each day I Swiffer up enough dog hair to make two or three completely new dogs. So I won't miss him when he goes home, but he is sweet and funny, and they can be so hilarious when they're running around like crazy on their short little Corgi legs.

How long until they make new episodes of the American version of The Office? :)
