I don't have allergies. However, evidently when it rains for more than a month and a half and the Jumanji jungle sprouts to overtake my house, perhaps then I'll get a little sniffly and bleary-eyed.

I'm trying to will this rain north. Need some rain? We'd love to give it to you.

I am enjoying this.

However, a few things bother me. 'Go, don't sell yourself short. I was just there, and I know what these items are priced individually. Living in a tourist area, I know that people will pay exhorbitant mark-up.

Tanya takes amazing pictures of her kids. She takes amazing pictures of other people's kids. And she GIVES them away. I could just shake her. She could be making a ton of money doing that. My goddaughter will be going to college one day.

Went to visit four-day old Dakotah Layne today. Oh yes, and Elissa and Chris, too. Isn't that the way it is? With a new baby in the house, everybody else in the family fades into a supporting role, and the occupant of the bassinet in the living room is the star of the show.

I held her tiny, warm body and played with her big feet as she yawned, smiled, stretched and slept. Elissa suggested this might speed up my wanting a baby. I loved on this one, then her mommy took her and put her back in the bassinet. Oh, she's delish.

Then, we went to see eleven-day old Katie Rose, but she wasn't home.

Nope. My biological clock is still quiet, and digital. I don't even know what time it is.
