- the newest addition to the fam, and no, it's not this awesome sandwich. #3 Bratt girl graced us with her presence on Monday and we celebrated with some great grub from Nye's. Oh Lord, it was good. – a nap on my stomach, even though I hate sleeping on my stomach. – one-handed typing…

My friends are neat. Not only has everyone and their mother (quite seriously, I've gotten a bunch of everyone's mothers) wished us good tidings on the new bairn (look it up; we don't live on a farm), but they bring us neat stuff, too! Gah! Look at it! It's so pretty! I've been wanting a…

Awhile back, I was using "Viola!" as an exclamation of done-ness. I felt really dumb when I realized it was "voilà!" and not my great-grandmother's name.
