Buffy quote of the day
“Nothing like getting your ass kicked to make your ass hurt.”
Have I mentioned how much I love living in launch mode?

100 notable books for the year
Once upon a time, I read a lot of books. Perhaps someday I will resume. In the meantime, I can feed my literary fantasies with the Times’ 100 notable books for 2006.
Sadie is one year old
Yes, the little girl is now one. She just joined us, and she’s no longer a little baby. It’s been another busy month.
She’s walking up a storm.
She’s gotten past the “wow, I’m walking — just happy to be here” phase and is now in the “I get all frustrated because I’m not as good at walking as I want to be” phase.
Her teeth are coming through, two on the top and two on the bottom. What used to be “slimings of love” have turned into “bitings of love.” Those are far less cute.
Everything is new to her. Including balloons.
She likes balloons.
She understands what we’re saying, even if she doesn’t have the words to say it herself. (I’m sure that’s coming next month.)
She’s good at the snuggling.
She has definite thoughts about what foods she’ll eat. It’s fairly typical for babies to take a while to learn new foods, but that doesn’t mean it’s any more pleasant to live through.
One year in, and she’s still a sweet little baby girl.
The unfortunate cupcake incident
Hmm. What’s that? That flame-y thing looks interesting.
Maybe I’ll just touch that.
Huh?
Whaaah.
After we calmed her down and cleaned her up, we tried to give her the cupcake again. She demurred. She requested we never serve her anything with sugar again.
Random thoughts for a rainy morning
Knowing that life in launch mode is going to suck doesn’t make it any more pleasant to live through. I cannot wait for this project to launch.
I never really drank coffee before the baby arrived. Now, I’m up to five to seven cups each morning at work.
Welcome Ewan Thomas Bazar Brewer. Congratulations, Jay and Maya!
