Succor

Whew. Mandy, the old college roommate/BFF, arrived safely from Ohio last night, despite the quarter-inch of snow and resulting logjam on the Beltway. She’s been an absolute doll, helping me clean the house and feed the baby and generally stay not-crazy. Even better is when Owen is sleeping, and we’re sitting around in our PJ’s, reading ‘Parenting’ and dishing about stuff. I miss her so much. Since we live so far apart, it’s nice being able to just hang like we did in college.

Sometimes I kind of miss having a roommate, y’know? Someone to swap clothes with and paint nails with and talk about girly stuff. Iain is perfectly willing to oblige, but there’s something missing there. Plus, he looks awful silly in my jeans.

Anyway. Owen slept pretty well last night, so I feel good this morning. We’re gonna fry us up some catfish for dinner [it was free] and see where the night takes us.
