Today was a baby-sitting day and when I got to Wendy's house, my friend Katie was there!  Katie's been doing this summer-long Alaska road trip and I had been wondering when she'd be back in Oregon.  Today my wonderment was answered by Katie leaping out from behind the front door of Wendy's house and saying "RAWR!" (We? are an odd bunch)  Then she was craning her head and kind of bending weird and when I asked her "are you trying to read my shirt?" (wearing Happy Bunny today–oddly appropriate for when Fiona did not want to rest) she said "Erin! Your Hand!"

Yeah–even though it has become my fidget tool du jour, I often forget that I'm actually wearing an engagement ring.  It still looks kind of weird on my hand, but it feels just right.

I have, essentially, been awake since four this morning.  This is because that's when Poppy woke me up by pulling a bathrobe off of the back of the bedroom door.  Normally I would just roll over and go back to sleep but our bedroom door actually fits exactly into the door frame and so, instead of using over-the-door hooks, I had to put two thumbtacks into the back of the door to hang the bathrobe on.  Of course she managed to pull the thumbtacks with the bathrobe.  So, at four in the morning, I had to crawl around on my bedroom floor using my cell phone as a flashlight (I didn't want to wake up Will) until I found both thumbtacks.  This? Took more than a half an hour.  Then? Every time I would just about be back to sleep, she'd find some new mischief to get into.

I have my iTunes on shuffle and it just switched from Tennessee by Arrested Development to Shout and Feel It by Count Basie.  I love the shuffle function.  And I kind of want to watch Swing Kids.

I have discovered an almost savant-like ability.  You know the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game (who doesn't)? Last week Will started playing the Six Degrees of Matt Damon with some WoW friends on one of their forums and I? Kick So Much Ass At This Game, without using IMDB.  I? Watch way too many movies!
