Saturday morning. Sleeping peacefully after J successfully got up, showered and dressed without waking me. Yay.
Suddenly, the bed bounces and I get a wet kiss right on the lips. Rosie was sooo happy to have found me, and acted quite surprised when I chased her out, yelling and wiping my mouth. Ptooey.

My book arrived today
Happy, happy. My replacement book The Gathering Storm arrived today, and I have finished it now. Library lad was right about it being very good too. After the first few chapters I was able to forget that a new writer had taken over for Robert Jordan.
Now I will be able to dive into Abercrombie's The First Law trilogy with gusto. I dipped into the first book this week, but didn't want to commit until I finished off the previous relationship. And, after that, I have Erikson's The Dust of Dreams to look forward to. Then, maybe, I will be able to turn to outdoor activities, although that is probably wishful thinking.
It is supposed to be in the high 40's tomorrow, so I think J and I will build another bench inhis our workshop. We've got 3 of 4 done, and he's moved in a lot of his storage bins and shelves, but there's still a lot of organizing to do. It's good that he enjoys that so much, he can putter happily for hours.

Finally, a baby!
J and I are grandparents for the first time! We've been ready for this for a few years now, but were not in the driver's seat, so to speak. And I tried not to be a back seat driver, but it was hard.
Of course, since my life is no fairy tale, the baby didn't come to my one married offspring, but to Shoeshine and a girlfriend who was an ex before the stork made reservations. X moved back to MN to be with her family, so our newest family member is nowhere near to us. Shoeshine and X are working out the details of co-parenting at a distance, and X has been very good about sending email updates and shower pictures, etc.
Born 3/3/10, 7lbs 2 oz, 19 inches long with black hair(supposedly), here she is:
Ladyslipper!

I think she's definitely the prettiest baby born today! And probably this week.

My furry kids
I mean my dogs, people. None of my children are furries, that I know of and I'm pretty sure I would.
Back on topic, and yes, I do have one. At least one.
I tried to get a cute picture of the dogs to use for my March in Maine picture, but they weren't into posing. (I guess they aren't furries either) They did however speak to me about the process.
Now you might think that Rosie feels left out, but she really isn't into the whole fetching or playing thing. Boomer loves fetching-well, the part where he gets it anyway; he's just learning about the giving it back to me part. He still can't bear to put it in my hand, but just over the last two days he has learned to drop it near me, and then bark at me if I haven't noticed.
Rosie does sometimes get fed up with his barking, or excited, it depends on her mood, and what I am doing. She will try to hold him down, or will launch herself in an awkward leap or two.
After the happiness of eating wore off, they were once more being rambunctious, so I sent them out. Boomer went, but Rosie retreated to the living room and did her version of an ostrich.
I started this on the 1st, and more than 24 hours later, I am finally posting it. It took for freaking ever to figure out how to get my video uploaded and onto Blogger. Every time I saw the video, it seemed less and less interesting, but by golly, I am using it!
