Hey! Tonight I went out! Of my house! To someone else's house! By myself! For a party! Can you tell this is exciting for me? It's been over three weeks since anything like this has happened so forgive me if I'm feeling a little giddy. My friend Emily had a birthday get-together and I actually got dressed, put on makeup, fed the baby, handed her over to Daddy and bolted. It was only 9 PM when I left the house and it felt like the old days in the city when I would leave my apartment at midnight to go out for the evening. Now I am home and instead of going to bed I am frantically trying to make my posting deadline. Just wondering, with Daylight Savings ending tonight do I have an extra hour? Is that on the FAQ? I don't want to risk my chance at winning some homemade jam so I am just going to post this and ask for your indulgence. New camera gets here Monday. Then I can just post baby pics and possibly some of my shoes.
I love the new little photo you've added to your main page...
Was the party fun? How did Daddy make out?

daddy an willa had a binky party of their own - they raged. And my party WAS fun - tho i'd probably would have been just as thrilled with a solo trip to the grocery store.
Kara, you have no idea how excited I was when I realized brobdingnagian had 5 syllables...

Very impressive. Three weeks and already partying! After O. was born, I went out for my first night out when he was five weeks old, to a rock show no less, Sleater-Kinney no less. This time it took me longer (this past weekend, seven weeks after Roo's birth) to get out and do something by myself that was totally for me, and it didn't quite rock, but was still cool. (I met with my monthly poetry writing group, and by the end of the three hour meeting I was leaking milk all over myself. Still, it was great to get out and do grown-up stuff.)
