On Saturday had lunch with a friend visiting from Canadia, who brought her new spawn.  There was other-friend-spawn also in attendance, and one in-waiting-spawn!  Soon we will be surrounded!  SuperGeniusBrainiacCouple (who live around the corner from me) are expecting in a few weeks.  My officemate has one due about the same time.  (Also BigSis ( Read more... )

I currently have three (3) burns on my hands from cooking.  Toaster burn on knuckle of right thumb, several fried onion burns on back of left hand, cookie tray blister on right index finger.
