Favorite Things

Girls' Camp was this past week, which accounts for at least seven days of my absence.

Prior to that, I was saving Jack Bauer's muscular buttocks from terrorists and a power-mad president.

It's not easy to be me.

In the meantime, everyone keeps asking what we've gotten for the baby. I know it's not nearly enough, but here's the list:

158 blankets. I'm not exagerating that number at all. I counted them, that's what we have. If nothing else, we can pad Porter's entire bedroom with blankets and then chuck him inside with no ill effects.

400 Newborn Diapers. This, we believe, will last us between 20 and 30 days, by which time Porter will have learned to use the toilet. I don't expect him to flush though. It would be hard for him to reach without falling in.

20 Onesies. These are definately not enough onesies, especially given that none of them mention heavy metal bands Metalicca, Megadeth, AC/DC or Motorhead. Please feel free to purchase any of these you find suitable.

1 crib. It was dusty, but never used. Sometimes going to church rocks!

1 swing. I love yard-sailing.

We'll wait on the other stuff until post-baby shower, just in case someone actually decides to get us the Bugaboo Cameleon.

If you need an address on that, I'll be happy to send it via email.
