Happy Father's Day

I of course am totally out of practice on the whole Father's Day thing as my own father died when I was eleven, but I helped out Skeeter ('cos that's what Yea-yea's do....) His Mommy found a digital frame/key chain and we loaded it up with pictures of his boy. I thought it would be a good idea to have a special Daddy's Day picture as the first image. Of course it takes a minimum of 20 shots to get a good picture of an active baby. These are the best of the lot. Enjoy!

Thank you very much!

Bubble Elvis, ladies and gentleman! The bubble sideburns were the best part. Bath time is SO much fun....

So apparently I have been taken to task for not posting...sorry. I haven't been on the computer much, except for at work. I go through spats where the thought of turning on the computer at home after sitting in front of one all day makes be nauseous. (...but what doesn't make me nauseous on the lizard spit!) We are gearing up for the busiest time of year at work. Most of what I do is investigating problems. There are things that have been wrong for years, that the member never bothered to look at. Now that they want to retire, they have to be fixed NOW or the earth stops revolving...... Normally I am very sympathetic and make the research and resolution my top priority, but times it by 10 per day right now. And the solutions run through a nightly batch processing. It usually takes three days to correct anything, so not problem is solved immediately. Plus my very small section is down by two people due to a medical leave and a vacation to Hawaii so I am having to man the customer call center too. It makes me realize I haven't had a real vacation in over a year. It won't be this month, but I think maybe I need a week off in July..... With a Skeeter day or two strategically scheduled in, of course :) Oh, I'm bitching too much....

Gotta go shower and get ready to go out. We are heading the the 1st Sunday Gallery walk in Old Town today. You have a good day!

And my new name is.......

My name is Kay. It's not short for anything. Not Katherine, Kathleen, Katie, Katrina, nothing. And because it not possible to shorten my name into a nickname, my childhood nickname was my name doubled. Kay-kay. I have been Kay-kay for as long as I remember, in fact there is brick by the fireplace where I wrote it in permanent marker as a small child (and was my mother PISSED.) As an adult, children will still call me Kay-kay, though I do frown on adults doing so. Georgie of course calls me Gugu (aunt.)

Skeeter now has four word under his belt. Mumum, Dada, Itties (kitties) and Yea-Yea (Kay-kay.) He may know more, but these are the ones he has said in my presence. The first two times he called me Yea-yea, I didn't catch it, and when B informed me he had just called me Yea-yea I thought it was motherly wishful thinking. But when a 10-month ball of cute crawls up to you, pulls himself up on your pant leg, stretches his arm up to you and clearly says "Yea-Yea!" there is no denying you have just been called by name.

The pictures below are of my Skeeter getting a bath. I love the purple bottle brush you can see behind his head like a poppy growing out of his skull.

G and her little friend

My brother and G were dog sitting for G's aunt this week-end. Better watch out G, Kitty-kitty Bing-bing might get jealous......

Skeeter or Scooter?

That's right folks, little man can crawl!!!! And he has a mind of his own......

Ugly Shoes

What, OH WHAT, kind of world do we live in where THIS travesty is allowed to happen to a Birk*nstock! Do we really need to deface this noble shoe with a Bed@zzler?!?!? I am just sick!

Halt, who goes there?

Attention Lurkers!!! Reveal and make yourselves know! Leave me a comment if you visit.

If I'm only doing this for myself, what's the point of spellcheck?!?!?!?
