Cute baby! You're lucky she wasn't in the colic phase and up screaming all night. *shudder*

You know, I've always thought of New England being reasonably similiar to Michigan. However, I've worked in four donut shops and never had anyone get that impatient while a customer made their choice. Sheesh!

(I was a donut lady all through high school and my freshman year of college)

Thanks! (Though I didn't have much to do with it) I realize the worst is yet to come. I thought I'd time my visits now, when she sleeps most of the time, and then not again until she can talk. ; ) Clever auntie.

It's probably the same as when you go into McDonald's and people study the menu for hours as if they'd never set foot in one before. Most people just dash in for a coffee. They probably don't realize what a rare experience DD is for me. Still, there's no need to be rude.

(Donut lady! I remember, you gave me the education on how easy it actually is to make a Bavarian creme donut : )

Ugh, I hate when clothes sizes are inconsistent, which seems to be all the time.

Sounds like a nice trip! Sometimes spending time with the right people is the best kind of vacation.

Amen! And my sister and Rob are totally the right people. If you're ever in the Boston area, I highly recommend them!

I've been to Boston and the surrounding area! I remember New England reminded me of home sometimes, both as far as the weather goes as the lay-out of the roads. So be warned if you ever come visit Belgium! Good times though :)

Nice pictures :) you're looking very well... despite the hair, hehe.

Are you from Belgium? How did I not know that? (granted my memory/attention span is nothing to write home about)

Thanks...and thanks : )

I am. And I don't know! I might just never have mentioned it in my comments to you, that's entirely possible. Within the realm of all that is possible, I would even say.

Ooh, by the way, I love that icon XD Also a really good song in which he does that.

Almost all of them are good songs anyway, so what am I saying! (Only one I don't especially like is "So They Say".)

Yes, I missed you. lizzieloudotcom October 19 2009, 01:13:27 UTC
Nice Baby! Nice Pants! Nice Caboose!

I'm glad you had a nice visit. Sounds like you didn't get to watch any Xena? WTF? (jk) And it's really very sweet that it only took Tery 30 seconds to remember you... oh wait, you meant Kitten Mitten. ;)

Well I'm glad SOMEONE did grrgoyl October 20 2009, 17:26:01 UTC
Thanks! Thanks! And thank you!

I know. For never leaving the house we made surprisingly little progress on the DVD front (well, completed season one of "Pushing Daisies" and 90% of season one of "Psych." Only four eps of "Flight of the Conchords," which surprised me since that was the show they were both really excited about. "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist" and "Down With Love," and that's about it). The problem was getting everyone sitting down in adequate time before fucking "Two and a Half Men" and "Family Guy."

Zero cold shoulder, which you probably know is unusual for a cat. I adore her so.

Ahhhhh, a bavarian creme and a hot chocolate. Isn't that how we began every shift at the evil overlords, RGIS? Still can't resist buying one if I pass a doughnut stand here in good old Blighty!

And Amy looks sooooo very different from when I saw her last! Where's the blonde hair? Huh, guess we all have to grow up, right? ;)

As to the jeans, Levis produce so many styles nowadays that you can't go on size alone. A 36 'baggy' fit, will be very different to a 36 'boot cut' fit. I have no idea what these words mean, of course, but if I find a pair of jeans that fit, I go back and buy another couple of pairs so that I don't have to do this sort of thing a year later.

I remember it well. "The nectar of the gods" you used to call it. If I can't have a bavarian creme, the next best thing would be DD hot chocolate (which shouldn't be unreasonable, considering some grocers carry their coffee).

She said her hair changed color during pregnancy with all the hormones. I suspect she's finally had enough after a lifetime of blond jokes.

If I were going off label alone, the two pairs should have also been the same style (they were strange. Most Levi's number their style. These were marked only "Signature"). Still, you would hope that whatever the style a waist measurement should be fairly universally consistent. It's not like inches (or whatever they're called in metric) are open to individual interpretation.
