• Someone just fell backwards off the coffee table. Sigh. From sitting. Sigh. #
• Today's lunchtime excitement: buying tiny girly baby clothes for someone not yet 4 hours old. Yay! Thanks for having a girl @weegeebaby ! #
• And yet again we dance the domain and hosting renewal waltz. This year I WILL transfer. #
• I don't think you're allowed to request something be done ASAP if you've sat on it for 2 months. Fairly sure there's a law or something. #
• … it used to be 'let's pretend to call a meeting when Karen's walking out the door at the end of the day.' We've evolved. #
• Apparently the new fun thing here is 'let's try to get Karen to agree to being on camera'. Yeah… no. #
• I came to work to empty the dishwasher! #
• I cannot complain about 3 meals' worth of decent Pad Thai for $9. I can complain about the ass-enhancing after-effects, but it's sooo goood. #
• I've officially been told to take more leave. I'm trying! But the 2 days next week don't count cause they're unused Christmas leave days… #

Day 1, Thornton Bay: Sand is ‘ucky’ but good for Elwo drawing.

No, old klutzy 2 year old princesses DON’T climb trees. >.<

Sure she was actually ‘controlling’ her little mechanical hamster, but that’s not what’s important here…

• Now she's licking the corner of a loaf of ciabatta. Nobody warned me toddlers are just so darned weird… #
• Watching that baby try to figure kiddy-scissors out. Good thing they're completely blunt. #
• Randomly recalled Book-A-Minute (from the olden days): http://www.rinkworks.com/bookaminute/ #
• I really need to start watching Up after the sad bit if I want to build any sort of street cred. #
• This doorbell could be more louderer. #
• That child is now in bed yelling 'TWO! ONE TWO! GO!' but of course. #
• Making people prove they exist is a legitimate pastime. #
• There could be future additional downloadable content! #
• Lordy… RT @juhasaarinen: RT @awrd: The Guardian: Every Dr Who villain since 1963 – as a spreadsheet & visualised. http://bit.ly/b6QbTw #
• So Lisp's going for a brain scan. I hope they find one. #

• It's raining and the mailbox is a long way away… #
• And 'foot'. #
• New words: phone, fluffy (fwuffy) and monkey (munny). #
• Trying to explain 'beedogs' to a 2 year old is a bit tricky. "Yes it's a bee. It's also a dog. You see?" #
• New words: phone and pudda (popcorn – I don't know why either). #
• Things need to be more simplerer. Most things, actually. #
• 27 days AL owing. When does it become sad? #
• One more, this time from my boss who also analysed me: Orwell. So basically I write like everyone. Sweet deal. #
• So apparently I write like Tolstoy (fiction), Lovecraft (personal ramblings) and Stephen King (work!). Fair enough… http://iwl.me/ #
• So my child is sitting in bed yelling BAA MOO MOO BAAA MOOO! Of course. #
• Apparently dinosaurs say "MOO!" #
• Need to make going away for birthday plans. It's a big one. I must go elsewhere for the first time innnn… 3 years? 4? Sad. #
• NZ the only unbeaten team in the World Cup? http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=10658249 I give that a 'LOLs'. #
• So…. where can I get me a prescient octopus? It's a need! #
