pirate patches and diapers in one entry? wow!

It is SO freezing in my apartment that I'm wearing a beanie, gloves, two sweaters, slippers, my hood, and I have a blanket over me.  I wish I had a nose-warmer - if I did, it would be knitted and look like a pirate patch that just covers the schnozz instead.  The heating duct here sounds like the combination of a boiling kettle and an enraged

Yeah, let me know if you can even tell! ;) Most people can't, it seems.

baby poop! you know, i never really knew about it until Sarah was born. i just assumed it would be like grown-up poop, but no. it is very different. at the hospital, they gave me a print-out about baby poop and its various consistencies at different ages, then had a nurse come in and tell me (and Chris) about it!

Ha! That must have been odd at the time!
When I was first looking into nannying I read a book on infants and there was a whole chapter on it.
The little boy I watch is very cute, he's in the stage where he tells me immediately when he has, ahem, need for a diaper change. And I started teasing him, when he was wiggling on his changing table one time, that he was doing a "poopy dance" and now he always does one!

So did you say the meter maid thing like: "You're just a meter maid?" Or was it totally unintentional? (I'm guessing #2, but I want to know!)

I was at the office paying a parking ticket in person and was joking around with the person helping me. We were laughing and talking and at some point I said "meter maid" in conversation, then she got all serious and said, curtly, "Parking Enforcement Officer." Yikes!
Yeah, no, I didn't run up to one and scream "METER MAID!! Get away from my car!" Though that might be fun...

Meter Maid is a nice term in my opinion. Makes me think about Lovely Rita.
