26 Things September 2006

23 September 2006, 13:00

Finally finished my 26 Things for September (c/- 26 Things Scavenger Hunt). I’m not at all happy with it, to tell the truth, but hell, all my available neurones have been jammed with nappy-changes, sleep schedules and how the hell do I keep my overtired baby happy at 6 in the evening??? How life changes.

Here are my 5 faves:

Town (an oldie but goodie!)

Overcome

Boring

Soft

Blur

Something in the Water...

Lots of positive news this week! Our friends in Tokyo, let’s call them “Al” & “Yukiko” had a baby boy last Thursday. Also, breaking news that our cyberfriend Gleek also has a serious case of up-the-duffness. And my wonderful friend “J” is a finalist in the Darebin Music Feast songwriting contest this coming Sunday (snippet: did you know that the City of Darebin (incorporating Fairfield, Northcote, Thornbury & Preston) has the most songwriters per capita in Australia!)

Oh, and we just happen to have the most gorgeous munchkin of a daughter. Biased? Moi??? She is up on all fours now, rocking back and forth in a vain attempt to crawl. Her sleeps have been mostly shitehausen, I’m hoping because she is on the brink of crawling (please, please, let it be so, it’s doing my head in) or is getting teeth. McG was 5.5 months and I was 6.5 months when we cut our first teeth, so Scout (at 8 months) hasn’t been following family tradition. In fact, we’re starting to wonder whether she even has teeth. Is there a market in infant dentures, I wonder???

“Out of my way, Heathens!”

“When you’re in such demand, I guess you gotta give these dudes something…”
