Ten Things I Learned in 2010
There are some awesome people here.
How to tie my shoes correctly.
Baby girls are way more trouble than baby boys.
Graffito is the singular of graffiti.
Do not break open fish oil capsules.
It’s ok to open up a little. I’ve always been an intensely private person, but I’ve been working on being a little more open. I’ve still got a ways to go, though.

It's New Year's Eve at our house
A few weeks ago, Kathy had floated an offer to some of our neighbors to come over for NYE, but she didn’t get any responses. Then last night and this morning she heard back from some of them wondering if we were still hosting. So now I guess we are.
In the past, I would have flipped out with anxiety about having people come over at the last minute, but today I’m not. I don’t...

Sleepy Head
cwj:
Last night, one of the times that I woke up in the middle of the night, that one time other than the two that were caused by the baby crying and wanting to eat, I woke up because my head was asleep.
I woke up on my back with my head thrust forward sharply by my pillow so that my chin was on my chest, and my head was completely numb. I moved around and then I started to get that pins and...

kimalah replied to your post: Go Pats!
There is already a heart. Your test was invalidated.
Actually, no. My test was to see if it was possible to have a Patriots post without a heart. Clearly it is not. Thus proving your post was purely hypothetical.

Go Pats!
Natalie Portman Is Engaged and Pregnant!

fynatalieportman:
Her reps confirmed to People that she’s engaged to Benjamin Millepied and pregnant with her first child! I’m so happy for her, congrats Natalie! :)
Fuck.
When she told me she was pregnant, I told her I just wasn’t cut out to raise more kids.
“Go, find a Frenchman to raise our children. He will teach them about cheese and smoking,” I said.

I Just Changed a Diaper
I’m guessing that Sarah at a green crayon yesterday.
Time to dry off
I just came in from a morning of shoveling, snowblowing, sledding, and fort-building with Aidan. Well, Aidan only participated in the sledding and fort-building portion.
I’d guess we got about 18 inches or so. It’s the wet, sticky stuff, good for fort-building, snowballs, etc.
Kathy made grilled cheese and bacon sandwiches for lunch. mmmm.
I called the office and there were actually...
Too bad the Pats game is away today.
I always enjoy those snow games.
Resolutions
My New Year’s Resolution for 2011 is to seek out toy packaging engineers, bind them into giant-sized replicas of their own designs, and leave them out on the town square until someone can figure out how to get them out.

WatchWe will now compare the boys’ exclamations upon opening presents and finding that they got exactly what they wanted.
Clanging Chimes of Doom
We went to dinner at my stepfather’s house this afternoon. My sister was there with a new (to us) friend. Boyfriend? Probably, but we can’t be sure because my sister is about as open as J.D. Salinger.
Anyway, he’s from Africa. Burundi originally, but he’s lived in a few other countries there. We started talking a bit about life over there, and I said to him,...
Christmas Eve?
I guess I’d better do my shopping today.

Caroling
Kathy and the boys are currently out caroling around the neighborhood. A few of our neighbors have kids the same ages as ours, and as a result we’ve become quite friendly with each other. One of them organized a first annual caroling event for the group of us tonight.
Unfortunately, though, Sarah has a cold and really needed to go to bed. Because I know how much Kathy’s been looking...

“Biologically, females serve one purpose: to get pregnant.”
– Rhawn Joseph, Ph.d., author of Sex on Mars; Pregnancy, Fetal Development, and Sex in Outer Space.
I saw an excerpt from this essay on Kotkke, and with a title like that I naturally clicked through. I didn’t get far, though.
Stupid Tumblr
Apparently it’s unfollowed people on me and I hadn’t noticed.

SHE: Jason, what is in the bag?
HE: Oh, Eric didn’t want his python no more, so he said I could take it.
SHE: What the fuck? *scream* Jason, that’s a fucking snake! You can’t have a fucking snake here!
HE: Fucking chill. Her name is Isis. Paulie wants to breed her to his python, and then we can…
I think this is my favorite one so far.

Things I learned tonight
Toddlers like fish oil capsules.
Fish oil capsules stink when chewed and then wiped on skin, furniture, and clothing.
I shouldn’t be left home alone with toddlers.

Cement, concrete, flour, fruitcake →
Robert Byrne for the Telegraph Herald writes:
Every single day, the sloppy use of the words cement and concrete aggravates the members of the construction industry, the largest in the nation.
What’s the difference?
To make concrete, you take cement (a powdery gray stuff) and mix it with water, sand, and several sizes of gravel or crushed stone, an operation commonly done at a...
