Me too. Plus once I saw it had Jeremy Sisto I had to give it my full attention.

I fell asleep so early last night that I didn't get to watch any of my shows. Suburgatory and Modern Family are definitely waiting for me at home.

I saw this and thought it was interesting.

Thanks for the props! I wasn't meaning to toot my own flute, but I was kinda sick of being universally referred to as a bumpkin.

It's called a mixing or recording console, or mixing desk. It's not that bad once you know how to use it. Actually, that particular studio is the Record Plant in Hollywood... lots of cool history there.

Ah, good point - not a ton of early-rising professional musicians, I'd guess.

Ok, duly noted - I never would have known that if it weren't for you! I find it very cool that this is what you do for a living, FR! You really do rock!

Hey, spreadsheets and formulas rock, too! You rock, too, nummy!

That is interesting - especially re: cost of living. Some of those cities are EXPENSIVE, even in the surrounding suburbs. But if I were a city-dwelling gal anymore, I'd enjoy a few a them, I think. I was surprised by Des Moines, though I've never been so it's all assumption on my part.

One of the towns next to mine is on the 100 best towns to live in list. Brain farting on the source - maybe Forbes?

Oh yeah! Well, well...I made a somewhat cogent argument for accurate information about ADHD while in the early stages of labor. So there. Heehee!

Or perhaps that should read "While in the early stages of labor, I made a somewhat cogent argument..." (and getting less cogent by the minute!)

Never mind me , Ewag is having a baby - now THIS is impressive.

[num1baby]

Ok. Ok Ewag wins.

ETA: If you see me becoming childishly competitive it may have something to do with the 2 new young guys at work that are both one-upping each other with their stories.

Ha! Not so much! I'm still impressed by (and kind of in awe of) you!

Sorry I'm "all about Ewag" for the last few days, I'm just excited! I promise it'll stop soon!!

ETA: DH just returned with all of our BabiesrUs to-do list - so many fun toys to play with tonight! That man is a saint. Went in late to work despite having a huge client go live this morning to bring me to the doc, worked his arse off all day, did the shopping, and now is doing bath/bed with LSE and moving onto LME nursery set-up. I am a lucky, lucky girl.
