Random thoughts:

*Babies smell so good - but especially after baths.

*The EB's hair is soooo soft after it's been washed.

*She likes baths! This is A Good Thing. Especially considering how many excretory functions there have been issuing from her various orifices.

*Unbelievably gorgeous weather here today.

*I managed to do a load of baby laundry, but I really need to do my own. Everything I am currently wearing has spit-up on it (it was quite a day).

*The Little House series on ABC is managing to be pretty good still, if a tad sensationalized. I've had to quell my inner that's-not-what-happened-in-the-book critic a couple of times. But just a couple.

*Funniest political rumor I've seen in a long time: that new Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer is contemplating a Presidential run in 2008. My first thought was "oh please". Um, people? This is a podunk state, especially in political terms. Presidents don't *come* from podunk states. They come from big electoral-heavy states like Texas or California, or from the South. (There are two famous politicians from Montana - Jeanette Rankin and Mike Mansfield - both of whom predate the modern media era.)

I've been watching the little house series, too. My husband's gotten tired of hearing me shout, "THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED!"

grrr. It's OKAY that the Ingalls family wasn't 100% PC about what was happening at the time- you don't have to turn Laura into this little girl spouting wisdoms 50 years too advanced for the age!

They did preserve one bit of dialogue from the book - where Laura is asking about the Indians, and Pa says the government will make them move, and she says "won't that make them mad to have to move away" and Pa shuts her up by saying "okay, no more questions, time for bed" - very much a moment of "I don't want to think about this, so I'm ending this uncomfortable conversation now."
