Second toughest in the infants

This morning, a baby and I went to a jamboree teaming with children with deliberately old-fashioned names. Seriously, it was like stepping out of the TARDIS into a nineteenth century county fair, what with the Mabels and Jebediahs. Not that I can talk, considering my own child's name.

I have recently discovered that a baby hates other children She screws up her face and glares at the sound of their shrieks and giggles, but she is happy to make eyes at adults. It's a good thing she'll be an only child. Hell is other babies, darlin'.

Mr H and I celebrated our anniversary with spaghetti and meatballs, like Lady and the Tramp. Since I'm a tramp, I guess he has to be the lady. He cooked, as a lady should. He also bought my love with a gift, which took me off guard. We never exchange gifts because we usually buy whatever we want as it occurs to us. Which is probably why we're broke. Shiftless Americans!

It's getting to be that time in baby ownership when it's possible to pull one's head out of one's ass for brief moments. I've read several disturbing articles that all go something like CIA, Bush, torture, torture, and I wish I could put my head right back in my ass. Oh wait, I can take a nice long nap with the Suri Cruise photo spread draped over my face. That'll work.
