Notify List for TheLittleGuy
Public Service Announcement: I've created an email notify list for TheLittleGuy's arrival. My plan is to add a bunch of people to it that we want to email once TLG decides to make his appearance, but I haven't gotten around to that yet, so if you want to get on it now (and save me some time :-) ), you can feel free to subscribe to:http://groups.google.com/group/tlgnotify/subscribe?hl=en
Note: We promise not to sell the list and will use it only for TLG news, yadda yadda yadda. And, of course, I may not get around to populating this list the way I want to before he shows up - in which case, watch our Twitter feeds, weblogs, and Flickr accounts for news and eventually pictures.
We are entering the stage when he could show up anytime or keep cooking for a few more weeks, so I'm entering triage mode on the ToDo lists. Aiyeeeee...

I like the use of "cooking". I just think, "it's the Medley crockpot - always on a slow boil."

Random Update - Mostly TLG Stuff
Some free association, just so I don't feel like a totally lame weblogger -Election stuff? I keep wanting to just quote random things and write "That is such bullshit" about them. For example: the "controversy" about Obama's pastor? Bullshit. The lapel pin nonsense? Bullshit. Obama's attitude towards reproductive rights activists? Bullshit. Clinton's pandering? Bullshit. Clinton's anti-economist gas tax nonsense? Bullshit? Everything John McCain says? Total bullshit. Anyway, you get the point. I'm finding it all very boring. Assume, that with rare exceptions, my commentary on almost anything to do with this election would be "That is such bullshit."
The Nationals got off to a horrible start, but are doing much better now. Seriously, the radio guys who call the Nationals games are sometimes really hysterical. Even when they're losing. I expect TheLittleGuy to recognize Charlie Slowes' voice when he's born.
TheLittleGuy got a cute little Nationals outfit at one of the baby showers for him - I look forward to getting a picture of him in it. Speaking of, yes, we've now had three baby showers and we are starting to be well-stocked (at least for the newborn phase) I think. Lots and lots of blue things. And some completely fabulous handmade blankets from TLG's super-creative ~Aunties, grandmother, and great-grandmother. If there are any other blankies in progress for him out there, though, never fear - one can never have too many blankets! I'm hoping to make him a quilt, too, sometime in the first year. Pictures one of these days real soon now...
Most of my mental energy, when not muttering "That is total bullshit" after reading the newspaper, is consumed with trying to stay on top of crap at work and preparing for the impending tsunami of sleep-deprivation and infant care once TLG decides to make an appearance. I have told him that almost any time after this week would be fine - this week is a crazy week at work, though. There are no signs that he's ready to move out anytime soon, though. Oh, for those who missed it, TheLittleGuy has his own Twitter feed now.
There was an earthquake here in Virginia today. We felt it in our house. Wacky times.

Yeah, maybe I'm just getting cranky in my old age, but this election year seems especially rife with bullshit for some reason. Though it has been entertaining - I have to cackle with glee every time the ACTUAL VOTERS casting ACTUAL VOTES completely disprove whatever the latest load of pundit pronouncements is. What's that animated movie where all the seagulls just flap around en masse squawking "mine! mine! mine! mine!"? I picture all the pundits flapping around crapping on fishing boats and yelping "reverend wright! reverend wright!"
