Take advantage of these birthdays when the baby doesn't have a real opinion. Soon enough, it will be cheese pizza for every birthday party.
One bit of practical advice for the first birthday party. If your son doesn't get himself very messy eating the birthday cake, don't be shy about spreading the frosting all over his face yourself. It makes for better pictures when you're putting them on a board or slideshow for his graduation party.
Stupid weather is going to rain out our first Young Eagle rally of the year on Saturday.
Cold rain? I guess no research for JC and Gr8 this weekend.
My sister had pulled pork at her graduation party. I provided mom the loins from all the giveaways work has. Its coming up on 3 years, and I don't think I have had a pulled pork sandwhich yet. Whatever you choose, make sure you like it as leftovers.
Nope - but he still needs the debating and multiple POV skills. He's Asst Director of Res Life at a Big Ten school.
I baked regular cakes for the guests, and put a little bit of the batter in a custard cup to bake. Flipped it over and frosted it so that the birthday boy could destroy his cake to his heart's content. Chocolate frosting, chocolate cake. Firstborn looked at it, picked up the edge of the dish and flipped it onto the table. He then grabbed it with both hands. When he saw us laughing, he grabbed his head with his sticky fingers and got frosting all the way around to the back of his head. Little doofus!
HOLD STILL SON, THIS WILL BE WORTH IT IN 17 YEARS!
Honestly, after this past weekend, he may never let us touch his nose again without crying, poor baby.

2 interesting job adds appeared today.
One with a closing date of February, so nice proofing, probably.
Another that starts reviewing tomorrow, so they've got someone already.

Mrs. Velo and I were half watching The Martian last night. We both admitted to getting a weird satisfaction every time from the scene where they (including Sean Bean) are talking about the Council of Elrond since - you know - he was in it.
By the way, in The Martian he doesn't die but his character's career does.
Jeff Daniels character then says "...I would like my code name to be Glorfindel."
Ah, **** me. Just looked at the weather after seeing this and snow is forecast for Saturday! Just got back from biking the Chain of Lakes and having a glass of wine on the deck to quiet down my left knee and see this ****! Damn, and I was ******** cause the wind was gusting to 25 mph this afternoon.
The dozen admiral butterflies I saw today in pachysandra bed are not going to be happy!
Tried three stores, didn't find the Robin Eggs (basically Whoppers with a candy shell) at any of them. Lew is very disappointed. However, I DID find this:
Hah. Sounds like my Dad.....he would argue with me, taking a point of view I knew he didn't believe in, and it just drove me nuts.
Eventually I realized he was trying to get me to think, to back my position, to examine things from different angles so I would learn. He was a pretty prescient guy. I miss him.
Is there some reason you don't want to name the school? (smiling sweetly)
