Just sitting here watching the Daily Show, and I thought I’d just take a moment and reflect on what a great day we all had. Mostly because of a little outage that we had to go out for a little trip for a checkup for Arwen. Everything’s cool, her blood pressure is cool, and Tate’s cool. Yay them!
Okay, so after we did that (Rip and I sat in the waiting room, reading a Sesame Street book that was ANCIENT – with old scary skinny Big Bird and some sorta GREEN Grover-look-a-like in it.

It was awesome,) we wandered down to the Toys’R’Us looking for a dinosaur costume for Rip. We found one dragon one that was pretty good, but then we found a wicked Dinosaur costume that was… too small. POOP!
So, as any normal 3.5y/o would, Ripley had a massive melt-down about not buying a Thomas the Tank Engine, of course. We ended up outside the store while Arwen paid for the burp cloths ($9 for 4 of them?) with me talking to Rip like a Negotiator because he was already “Timed Out” of being in the store, but I couldn’t send him to a room anywhere (A’s got a post about what we’ve been doing to R’s head as of late) unless you want to count me sending him to the baby section.

Cameron Diaz is on the Daily Show now, pumping “In Her Shoes” and she’s got some really REALLY bad hair. I’m not a huge fan of hers in the first place, but seriously, who’d she piss off in the green room to go on-stage looking like that.
Arwen’s falling asleep in the glider chair ’cause Tate’s toasty warm, and cute as hell, and gets this look on his face like Bernard on Black’s Books when he asked for a sandwich with pickles and was told “sure.” Pure bliss.
got totally sidetracked, and will have to talk about the day later…

I like that the alleged “related” link was for “New piccies are up,” which was actually my point: Had a great day, did lots of fun things, but NO PICTURES OF IT. So go look at Ripley and I at Hornby last year, if you forget what either of us looked like in August of ’04.
