So this just happened...

I've been busy.  Way busy.  And not the busy that you create by working inefficiently  - - damned well bonafide busy.  So between things today, I put on my jam jams (pajamas, y'all) and settled down for a quick recharge and some chat time with Totsi.  She was being very cute.  I asked my Macbook to take a picture.  Macbooks beep before they take pictures, and the beeping has an effect on my not-so-little one.  Just two seconds earlier, this had been a minor victory.  It wound up being a beep-fueled launch party off my side.  I was finally going to have a picture of Totsi and me together that didn't involve what it wound up involving.  Again.

The pattern continues.  Eight years and counting of this pattern, everyone.  Eight years.  Strong the will is with this one, on both counts.
