All right, I've had my lovely wonderful binge of conversation, connected with many of the people that are important to me, Jen and Liz and Elissa and BriLee and Jay, and now I must go to bed and tomorrow go back to my own offline world.

I really needed this.


Jay asked me, on seeing me online tonight, "Does this mean you're back?"

me> No, actually, it means I'm cheating. ;-)

Jay> No you're not; you're poly. :-)

me again>Ya know, when it comes to novels, I'm serially monogamous. One book at a time, until it's finished. I'll occasionally have a fling with a magazine while reading a book, but almost never start a new book until I've finished the preceding one. Non-fiction seems to work differently. I can pick it up and put it down, read a novel or three before actually finishing.

AIM, on the other hand... Four conversations at a time, minimum. ::snicker::


Today's funny Rosa quote...


She was bitten at daycare a couple weeks ago. Tonight she asked me "Who did that?" pointing to the remnants of the bruise.

I said, "I don't know, who did that?"

She said, "A boy."

I said, "A boy?"

She said, "A nasty boy," and grinned at me.


The other thing Rosa's been doing lately that's really adorable and melts my heart, is asking me to sing the "Baby Mine" song from Dumbo. We snuggle and cuddle and I sing it to her, and she asks for it again and again.

Baby mine, don't you cry
Baby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part, baby of mine

Little one when you play
Don't you mind what you say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear, baby of mine

If they knew sweet little you
They'd end up loving you too
All those same people who scold you
What they'd give just for
The right to hold you

From your head to your toes
You're not much, goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Cute as can be, baby of mine

Music: Frank Churchill
Lyrics: Ned Washington

That song always made me cry...

...when I watched Dumbo as a kid. It's so tender and sweet.

Rosa's lucky to have you.
