Oh geez, Julie. That really sucks. I hope you get some relief soon.

Co-worker's baby finally was born via c-section during the night. A little girl weighing 6lbs 4oz. I'll bet mom is exhausted.

That sucks, Jules.  I really hope those tubes give you some relief.  You must be exhausted from all of this. 

Tina:  any names for the new baby ??

Mr. W scored these really good homemade half-sour garlic pickles from the farmer's market last weekend.  Now, everytime I have to get up in the middle of the night to let Jamison out I reach in the frig and get a pickle.  If I didn't have my tubes tied 25 years ago, I would swear I was pregnant.

Yikes, Julie. :(

Poor mom having to endure all that labor only to need a c section. 

Hot and dry again.  Not exactly a news flash.  I saw that yesterday morning in Phoenix it was 95 degrees at around 6:00 AM.  :(  

Belle is obsessed with a frog that has taken up residence in my little water garden.  She saw it in the yard the other night and was acting like a complete fool.  She never touched it but was dancing around it and racing away and racing back to stare at it.  She bounces up and down on four stiff legs and Woofs at it.  What a nut. lol

 Oh no Julie!! Hope you get answers and relief today!

Glad that your co-worker and baby are good - poor mom!  

Belle thank you for the laugh

I remain very skeptical about this toe diagnosis

I need to be out the door in 60 seconds...............

Ella Sophia. (I'm not sure if I spelled it right).  I was trying to confirm, asking the uncle and grandpa (also my bosses). You know how men are about babies and names.

I've been told Drs only guarantee those procedures for 10 years....

 PSA to Julie's ears: Get. BETTER. already!!!!!!!

 lol Deb! (and Steph!)

Silly Belle! Good girl for not picking it up, though. Rupert sez frogz tastes yukky.

Busy, tired, cold. That's all I've got.

 Hmmm, it's plastered all over the local news that little Honey Boo Boo came to our town yesterday to do a photo shoot.  Am I supposed to be impressed?  Actually, I am a bit embarrassed...

I'm with you, Marty. This exploitation type stuff gets me more riled up than any politics ever could. Where will this girl be at 18? Rehab or porn.

 Honey boo boo LOL!!!!!!

You know, when I was in Belize, I was chatting it up with some foreigners who actually love all these shows we have. I was so embarrassed! I was swearing up and down that all americans are not like these stupid reality shows. They are ridiculous. It's awful that people from other countries watch this stuff....I can only imagine what they think.

You ladies are cracking me up today - and Belle too. 

I am about to string a certain little corgi to the room if she barks one more time.

Doc says I now have an infection so he gave me some antibiotic ear drops which takes away from what little hearing I have left. I emailed the scuba shop here in town and asked if they knew of an ENT in the area that has dive experience. I should have done that from the beginning but totally didn't think about it.

Ah, hump day. I think we need a stupendous drink in its honor!

It's also National Lemon Meringue Pie Day:

Lemon Meringue Pie: 

• 2 parts Absolute Vanilla Vodka
• 1 part Limoncello di Sonoma
• Squeeze for fresh lemon
• Splash of simple syrup

Shake all ingredients and serve up.

Served with a meringue cookie olive and lemon zest.

Also, today would have been Julia Childs 100th birthday.  Her favorite cocktail was:

Upside-down Martini:

1 ½ oz (or more) Noilly Prat® Vermouth

½ oz Tanqueray® Gin

Fill a white wine glass three-quarters full with cracked or crushed ice. Add the Noilly Prat® Vermouth, leaving room for the gin (you might be able to add a little extra vermouth based on the size of the glass and the quantity of ice. Add the Tanqueray® Gin and give the glass a half stir (not too much!) with a small espresso spoon. Twist a strip of lemon peel over the glass, rub it around the rim, and drop it on top. Bon Appétit!

Edited to add one more in honor of Honey Boo Boo:

Pageant mom loads daughter up with ‘Go-Go Juice’

Alana Thompson, a 6-year-old aspiring beauty pageant queen, is known for her bounding energy on TLC’s controversial reality show Toddlers and Tiaras.

Alana’s mother, June, appeared on Good Morning America yesterday and revealed the secret behind her daughter’s hopped-up performances on stage: Go-Go Juice.

June makes the homemade concoction by mixing Red Bull and Mountain Dew, creating a sugary “power” drink that contains the same amount of caffeine as two cups of coffee.

Alana drinks a bottle of Go-Go Juice before every pageant, and her moms says it gives her daughter the kick she needs to walk down the kiddie cat walk.

I believe I've really out-done myself today.

Baby's name spelling correction: Ella Sofia.

Is there no new baby drink, Deb? For the adults, of course.
