you tell some lady that your baby's name is Jacob, and she says "Oh, that's dif'rent, I ain't never heard of no baby named that before". Okay I'll give her that it is different from Jimmy, Vinnie, Frankie, Joey, Louie, Bobby, and Ant'ny, but Jacob was the number one boys name each year since 1999. It is the new Michael for God's sake. And this lady's mother agreed with her- "Oh, doll, that is dif'rent". For the record, they were pushing a newborn baby named Nadia Marie around in a stroller. Of course.
Jake and I had a banner day today, traveling to the bank, the post office, and the grocery store before 2 pm. I had a ton of change($137.49 in coinage) and Dave's expense account check that had been kicking around for awhile to deposit, two gifts to send to two long distance babies, and I hadn't eaten anything that didn't come from my freezer or a can for two days. It was time to get those things done, at the expense of doing things around the house.
I did get the pelican room primed yesterday, and I am hoping to get the edges of the wall painted blue today, if not at least one coat on the whole wall. We'll see. I've been busy with Jake's latest growth spurt, and he is eating every couple hours, which made for a tough night last night. I am pretty tired, and really hungry and thirsty from all the milk production. Being a dairy animal is hard work. Moo.
