Jun. 26th, 2007 11:14 pmI am wasting my best nap of the day by clicking around the internet! But so far, after five days of craptastic connectivity, it seems like our ability to connect reliably to websites at decent speeds is back. (Knock on wood.) It is such a luxury! Also, after a week of hard work, I have managed to read everything in Bloglines at once, for what I think is the firs ttime since before E was born. When the feeds build up, it is hard work to get them back down! Also, I have removed about half of the ones I used to read. Why do I feel guilty when I remove someone from my Bloglines list? I lurk! I never talk to non-LJ bloggers! Well, almost never. If I have talked to them, I haven't removed them. I had a number of bloggers on my list who I couldn't tell apart. I'm thinking a good criteria for staying in my daily reads is that I must remember, just by the name, who they are and what their situation is. And this reminds me that I really need to send an email.
Actually, I haven't completely wasted my morning time. I am showered, well-rested, and have made a pasta salad for lunch, and the diaper laundry is going. M went in to work late this morning because he had a dentist appointment. Well, actually, it was an oral surgeon appointment. He's having four wisdom teeth removed July 19. They offered to do it this Thursday but he declined because he hadn't had enough time to dread it. That's not what he said was his reason, naturally. He claimed that he's busy this week interviewing people at work (anyone want to sell semi-automatic weapons? yes?) and so he shouldn't schedule surgery. Also, I believe he doesn't want to ruin his vacation with a sore mouth, which I can't blame him for. I wouldn't either. I mean, just because *I* had surgery on *my* previously-scheduled time off work... ;)
However! We have been sort of assuming that he would be in some form of recovery next week from this tooth deal, and now we are back to having a full free week of vacation! E will be seven weeks old. What should we do with that week besides stay at home and relax and enjoy spending time together? I would also like to do something fun, though of course, I am still a bit of a scaredy-cat when it comes to how she will behave. If not for her, we would probably go somewhere overnight with a hotel (and a pool) and swim and shop and eat. Normally, it'd be Gatlinburg but since it's the fourth of July week, there's no way we'd want to get stuck in traffic for that long. We were debating a similar sort of trip, but I'm not so sure we could take her swimming with us so that might be limited amounts of fun. She likes water, but it seems like pool water would be too cold for her. And the chlorine! Egad, but I'm such a wuss.
The other day, I did something amusing. I made five more cloth wipes... using one of M's torn Hawaiian shirts. There's nothing like wiping your child's butt with loud prints to make you smile. They suck as wipes because they're too slick, but you can't have everything. Cute or functional, pick one.
And, now it is the end of the day and I am posting about the morning only, because I completely forgot about this post much as usual. I was going to come back to it and write something really interesting, too, I'm sure. Maybe tomorrow.
