    Made homemade waffles this morning, had leftover chinese for lunch, and now I'm making this awesome potato chowder soup.
    AND there's roller derby tonight! It's been a very good day.
    Everyone else having a good weekend?

    So last night I went on my third date with a guy I met recently. I'd been kind of "meh" about him but figured a third date would help me decide if I want to keep getting to know him, or look elsewhere.

    Turns out that getting us out of public and into my apartment was the best thing! There was no kissing or sexy stuff. We just had a few drinks and watched "The Big Sleep." My cats even liked him. I realized that *I* really like him and want something to happen here.

    Then he turned to me and said, "Do you have plans for New Year's? Maybe we could do something." I almost shouted for joy. It's been a while since I've dated and this is FUN!!

    He stayed 'til 5:00 this morning.

    Ah, shit, you guys. I got wasted last night, drunker than I've been since college, and hooked up with a guy that I'm not interested in and thereby creating a complicated situation where there wasn't one before. Also, I feel like death today.

    Last night we put the baby in the crib in his brother's room, which means OMG MY HUSBAND AND I WERE ALONE IN OUR BEDROOM ALL NIGHT.
    Okay, so only the other parents out there will really understand the enormity of this, but it was awesome. Haven't yet put away the pack-n-play, but if it continues to go well I'll have extra space on my side of the bed again! Wooo!

    @spamanda: OK, I am a hard-ass big proponent of kids sleeping on their own. I think my son was about a month old when I put him in his bassinet in his own room. I'm a light sleeper, and the normal sounds a baby makes while sleeping sound alarming in the middle of the night. We all slept better when he moved into his room because I stopped waking him up to check if he was still alive every 20 minutes.

    Congratulations! It's a major milestone for a parent.

    @spamanda: congrats! take it from me - my boyfriend's daughter lives with her mom full time, and comes over on weekends, and was sharing a bed with her mom until she was nearly 5 years old. Weekends were a battle. Also, you can sleep better!! Hooray!

    @spunkay: We've been sleeping fine, actually. He wasn't in our bed -- just next to it because we only have 2 bedrooms and our 3 year old is in the other. We've been SOOO hesitant to mess with the older son's sleep schedule! But it's definitely time to at least work on getting him into the kids bedroom.

    @WagaMama: Oh man, I never could have moved him into another room at a month. For starters, he was breastfeeding every 2 hours - no way I wanted to walk down the hallway four times a night! Also, we've got an older son, so we didn't want to make his life even MORE difficult by putting the very awake infant in his room.

    Ranty McRanterson here, using the proverbial "you":

    OK, so. I make mixes for my friends (technically compilation CDs, but who wants to type that all the time?) and, just for the record, it's really effing annoying to me when people say they like "everything" when I ask about their musical tastes.

    Here's the thing: you may think it makes you sound all, you know, cultured and open-minded, but it's less than helpful. A few reasons why:

    1) Nobody likes everything. You may like everything except Norwegian death metal, but there's no way you honestly enjoy all genres of music equally. I'm sorry, it's just not something that actually happens.

    2) I am trying to make you a mix you will like, not tolerate. If you don't honestly tell me, say, "I don't care for musicals," and then I put a song from, you know, Avenue Q on there and you hate it, then I feel like crap for not somehow magically guessing that you don't like Broadway. Also, if you loooove "Boys Don't Cry" and you do tell me, I will totally try to find a version you'll love and your CD will be so much more enjoyable!

    3) I have over 3500 tracks on my iPod, plus literally a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf full of CDs and, oh yeah, the whole Internet full of music. It can be a bit overwhelming when I've got no direction at all. Even something as simple as, you know, "I like dance-y stuff" can so, so, so help me make a CD you'll like.

    Phew. OK. Back to making a mix for someone who doesn't know these things. I feel better. Sorry for the ranting. <3

    @ucelluccia: I was super traumatized when my boyfriend of five years (now ex), towards the end of our relationship, mentioned he didn't like a lot of the music on the mixed CDs I made him. I had spent hours agonizing over which songs to put on there, the lyrical meaning, whether he would like them, their order on the CD, and was heartbroken. I never wanted to make another mixed CD for him or any other boyfriend again.

    Now, looking at it, I think it's his problem: he also didn't get an obvious reference to a song that was supposedly one of his favorite songs from his favorite band (The Ataris have a song about making a girl a mixed tape, and it has the lines "I decorated it with lots of stars/It had all my favorite songs..." and I had decorated the CD case with star stickers). He admitted he didn't get it, and I pointed out the CD had the song on it as the first track. He said he didn't listen to the CDs very closely, and I realized he didn't get the reference to King of the Hill ("I Go Walking After Midnight" by Patsy Cline is the song Hank and his dog dance to) or that I included a song that kept coming on during a road trip we made to San Diego, or the song that was my ring tone for him (Tom Petty's "You Got Lucky"). We didn't fight about it any further because I found it depressing. He's the dummy, not me.

    @ucelluccia: Uh oh, I'm one of those annoying people. But honestly I like mixes for what they say about the person who MADE it. And I really do like listening to new music.
    I don't say I like everything, though, lol. Usually I say "hey what was that song playing in your car the other day? Make me something with THAT on it." I always thought I disliked R&B until one of my best friends made me a mix of a bunch of songs, and I went, "OOOOOH!" lol
    And just for the record, Norwegian death metal freaks me out.

    @ucelluccia: HAHA that's a pet peeve of mine. I never know how to answer the "so what music do you like?" question, because naming 8947654 artists gets kind of boring. But I made a promise to myself: I'll never, never, say "everything".
    I've also found out that people who say "everything" actually like about four bands of slightly different genres.

    @curiousgeorgiana: GOOD LUCK!!!!!!! Goddamn, I do NOT miss law school exams. The whole semester, boiled down into one four-hour clusterfuck of crazy.

    Although I'm sure you've got this covered, one thing that always helped me get calm and centered was putting together my binder the night before. It was a ritual, sliding my short outline into plastic sheets, putting my long outline and notes behind tabs, and making the cover page and sliding it into the front of the binder - title of the class huge in the center, professor, exam date, semester and year, and my name in the bottom right corner. I still do that today, in preparation for things that I feel unprepared for and nervous about; in fact, the last thing I did at work on Wednesday was to put together the binder I took to a Super Crucial deposition on Thursday, complete with cover page.

    I'm not sure if it helps performance to have a little ritual like that, but there comes a time with law school exams that you have take a deep breath, close your books, and (try to) go to sleep. And may I reiterate: GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

    I am about to ask for the weirdest help ever.

    See, my actual name is Elizabeth. I don't like Elizabeth. It's a dull name. It annoys me to be called Elizabeth.

    I have started going by Birdie (ripped shamelessly from Mad Men), but that makes people start asking me where I got that nickname.

    I would like a better story than "I stole it from a TV show." and need some ideas.

    @Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: I saw! I was going to email you last night after I got home from work and school and shit but it slipped my mind after my chem review. Stupid science.

    Anyway, I'll email you after work today. Finals week sucks.

    @Zombie Ms. Skittles: My name is Elizabeth too. I think we have a lovely name. But the nicknames do kind of suck. My common name rhymes with death and I think there's nothing worse than that.

    I'd tell people you favorite grandmother always called you Birdie :)

    @Ailatan: I don't know much about soccer, but it looks like you guys have a pretty good shot at cruising right through. We have to play England first and I don't think we have a shot against them.

    @token_illiterate_commenter: England Usa will be an interesting match. England had a wonderful qualifier, and it will be tough, but not impossible. The rest of the group is quite easy.

    Argentina has been playing so poorly, it's great we have a relatively easy group. Yet Nigeria is always threatening, our players are much much smaller than theirs, Messi will have to outwit and outrun their defense.

    I wouldn't want to be in groups G or H. Though group A is also quite difficult.

    @Ailatan: G and H do look tough. I didn't know Argentina had been doing poorly lately. I thought you had a pretty tough team. Hopefully for you they'll get their shit together. As for us, how could we possibly beat England when they'll have Mr. Posh striking poses for them. The aura of his masculine perfection will throw our guys totally off their game.

    @Ailatan: This makes me sad my co-worker from Ghana will be back in Ghana during the World Cup. Now who will I get to hassle when Germany (hopefully) wins the group?

    As for my hopes:

    A: South Africa (Really any of them that aren't France, but go home team!)
    B: Nigeria (saw them trounce Argentina 13 years ago and they can maybe do it again?)
    C: USA
    D: Germany
    E: Japan

    G: Brazil

    I don't like Portugal, the way they handled themselves in 2006 rubs me the wrong way.
