What's up around here

Nothing too exciting, just a few tidbits to share...on a cold snowy (!) morning here at Maison Tiar.

Had a grown-ups night out on Friday, dinner at Beaujolais Bistro followed by RENT at the Pioneer. Dinner was a bit disappointing: mediocre menu, mediocre service, in a crowded, loud atmosphere. One can do better at several places in town. RENT was fun, a good "rock musical" taste of Broadway here in our little burg.

Potty training is progressing...maybe...a little. A few successes, but little consistency. Popsicles aren't the most productive reward, stickers are better, but still not a smashing success story. Sigh. Morgan's taking her to the My Little Pony show on Wednesday, maybe that will generate some interest in being a big girl. Or something.

In new baby news, we're scheduled for "the" ultrasound that can tell us the sex. The aforementioned rock-paper-scissors tournament has faded, Morgan has seen the light, and unless she reads this and changes her mind just to be ornery, we'll know what we're having by this time tomorrow. Stay tuned.

And finally, in the "new stuff" department, we're totally loving both the new laptop and the new bed. Just one night spent on the new bed, but it's so cushy, as I put it last night as I snuggled under the covers "I feel like a rich person" when I lie on it. And I've gotta say, a refurbished Dell is a good thing for me.

That's all for now, we've got Costco, Babel, and the Academy Awards on the agenda for the rest of the day.
