News Briefs and More

Yesterday morning, Allison Clare was gnawing on my hand--as usual--and I felt something distinctly unusual . . . her first tooth! Goodbye, gummy grins. You were the best.

Someone I only met once (and under less-than-ideal social circumstances) has just asked me to be her Facebook friend. Thus far my Facebook friends are all people that I actually know and/or like. Does ignoring her request make me a Facebook snob? I don't know, but she does have over 500 other Facebook friends, so I don't think she'll be lonely while I figure it out.

Sam's birthday was on Monday, and I had thought of writing out some of the reasons why I love him, or detailing the ways he's made the past 21 months the most joyous of my life. But I settled for making his favorite meatloaf, baking a Greek lemon cake, and getting a babysitter and tickets to The Dark Knight. Which was not at all romantic, but still fun.

Yes, I said, "favorite meatloaf." Telling, no?

The birthday dinner sounds so delicious! And hooray for baby teeth (though that is sad about the end of gummy grins)!
