Everything&#8217;s cool, her blood pressure is cool, and Tate&#8217;s cool.  Yay them!<br \/>\nOkay, so after we did that (Rip and I sat in the waiting room, reading a Sesame Street book that was ANCIENT &#8211; with old scary skinny Big Bird and some sorta GREEN Grover-look-a-like in it.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.geckotemple.com\/blog\/wp-content\/greengrover.jpg\" title=\"\" border=\"0\"\/><br \/>\n It was awesome,) we wandered down to the Toys&#8217;R&#8217;Us looking for a dinosaur costume for Rip.  We found one dragon one that was <i>pretty<\/i> good, but then we found a wicked Dinosaur costume that was&#8230; too small.  POOP!<br \/>\nSo, 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 &#8220;Timed Out&#8221; of being in the store, but I couldn&#8217;t send him to a room anywhere (A&#8217;s got a post about what we&#8217;ve been doing to R&#8217;s head as of late) unless you want to count me sending him to the baby section.<br \/>\n(Commercial Note To Self: Tommy Lee Goes to College &#8211; God Help Us All)<br \/>\nCameron Diaz is on the Daily Show now, pumping &#8220;In Her Shoes&#8221; and she&#8217;s got some really REALLY bad hair.  I&#8217;m not a huge fan of hers in the first place, but seriously, who&#8217;d she piss off in the green room to go on-stage looking like that.<br \/>\nArwen&#8217;s falling asleep in the glider chair &#8217;cause Tate&#8217;s toasty warm, and cute as hell, and gets this look on his face like Bernard on Black&#8217;s Books when he asked for a sandwich with pickles and was told &#8220;sure.&#8221;  Pure bliss.<br \/>\ngot totally sidetracked, and will have to talk about the day later&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just sitting here watching the Daily Show, and I thought I&#8217;d just take a moment and reflect on what a great day we all had.
