Bambooooooo

In today's news: Elijah blew on his hot oatmeal to cool it down, at breakfast, and this evening before dinner, he fussed every time an episode of Red Dwarf ended. He fussed until the next episode was playing. Then he would go off and play with his toys again.

Right now, he and Daddy are running through all the signs they know, from "thank you" to "pirate" and "helicopter".

One stalk of bamboo has died, so I now have only 54 stalks of bamboo ;)

My mom has a new cat, and that is awesome.

Peanut-beef stew with rice is tasty.

It's too freakin' cold.

Swearing now results in one five minute time-out per transgression. For me. Not for Elijah, as he is a baby and wouldn't understand. And doesn't swear yet. But! It should be a successful deterrent for me. Hopefully. We'll see.

I have one time-out so far today ;)

And we're moving up to level 4 at Gymboree next week. A whole new set of kids and parents and activities... Wish us luck.

Elijah will be fine. It's me who has trouble with transitions.

Lucky Bamboo, I Has It

55 stalks, to be precise.

Bamboo elevators?

This page about elevators makes me happy. If I had a printer, I'd print it out and file it away.

BuyLuckyBamboo.com is amazing. How insane is it that had I the money, I would buy 500 4" stalks of lucky bamboo?

I think I'll have to content myself with much less :) But first I have to find some vases and such, ways of displaying them. I want plants in every room...
