metaphortunate | things and thanks

Yesterday the Junebug napped for three hours and then ate an entire hog at dinner. Tonight he ate until he was too tired to chew anymore. His little eyes were drooping closed and he was still begging for more lamb. Put him to bed and he hasn't even worked up the energy to roll over in his sleep yet.

Yeah, he'll be two inches taller next week. Every day he can reach something we thought he couldn't get to yet. Mr. E calls him the nouveau reach.

Sneaking in the giving of thanks before the month ends. I'm thankful for Revlon lip butters, they're awesome. I'm thankful for soulbonding MPREG shapeshifter RPF in all its idficcy glory. I'm thankful Halloween and Thanksgiving prevent the Christmas season from being any longer. I'm thankful for headphones at work and for fingerless gloves, nursing dresses with pockets, Skype, smartphones, AOOO mobi downloads, wide calf boots, the increasing popularity of salted caramel as a flavor, antibiotics, things in sample sizes, Twitter, Phil & Kaja Foglio, eggnog lattes, all the random people in the city who love to make friends with my baby, most of the results of the last election, apps, all the sincere very important things you already know I'm thankful for since I am a rational human being who knows how very lucky I am so I'm not gonna get into them here, and of course, LJ/DW and all my wonderful friends on it, I am, as always, so very thankful for you.

nouveau reach

I laughed harder than anyone reasonably should at this. :D

And yay for thankfulness! We don't have Thanksgiving here, but it's always kinda cool seeing everyone experiencing it in the US on DW and Tumblr and Facebook and so on.

I've been giggling about it for days. :)

History based on lies and genocide etc. etc., but the result for adults is a holiday about thankfulness, which, to me, is welcome and wonderful. Well. Thankfulness and lots of delicious ritual food, most of which I love, so basically I win.

I send you ALL THE LOVE.

I send it back with interest!

We were talking about trying to get together at some point, right? I am free between 6 & 7:30 tomorrow, & would be up for meeting for coffee (with baby) or an early dinner, but I do not have enough brain to plan anything. Or next week?

Getting together yay! I am still pretty over-socialized from last week, though. OMG, the tales I can tell.

Next week instead? Wednesday would be good.

Pun of the year, right there. Gonna just sit back and behold its majesty for a while.

I know right? :D

Your icon is amazing. What?

Well, I went looking for the old "10 actresses who'd look better with a moustache" feature this came from so I could offer some context, but unfortunately the site was kaput and all I could find was a completely different "10 actresses who'd look better with a moustache" list.

Oh gosh, eating is very serious business when you're walking and growing! Unfortunately the Pip's digestive system seems not to love chicken and turkey as much as he does, or at least that was our theory, blah blah bad sleeping lack of data blah blah how about that adorable Junebug! Go, Junebug, go.

(Also, nouveau reach is indeed hilarious.)

Oh no! Poor little guy. Man, it's so hard to figure out what's up with their insides.

It's not as bad as it could be--gas and discomfort, not bodily fluids--but we are kinda stumped at the moment and are awaiting further data.

It just seems particularly vexing after two really good nights of sleep got our hopes up.

Oh well. This too shall pass.

We're thankful for you, too. :)

Also: "nouveau reach" *rimshot* :)
