facebook toolbar for firefox

this is my favorite new software toy EVER! i get little messages as everyone updates their status, sends me a message, notification, posts a picture. it's loverly. and i get to view everyone's status in my "facebook friends sidebar".

between that and the updates in my blogroll, i can actually manage to keep up with people! AND i even get inspired now and then to prattle on about myself, too! (aren't you lucky?)

hmm, was going to add a random pic, but the only new one i have that isn't all blurry is a pic i took of khalil's newest and best diaper rash. it's very rashy. ick. but i won't put you through that.

is this how it's going to be from now on?

so now that i'm 30, it seems i get bad news from friends left and right.

someone's getting divorced...
someone's got cancer...
someone's child has died...

i've got about 4 friends going thru divorces right now (that i know of)...
two of my friends have been diagnosed with or had remissions of cancer this week...
the best friend of a friend of mine lost his baby during birth because of a freak happenstance...

so once you turn 30, do you all of a sudden have to deal with the crap you were able to avoid brushing up against for the previous 29 years???

damn, it's depressing. even worse when you realize you've got all your own shit to deal with and extend support to those around you at the same time.

i heart barack

need i say more?

i can't freaking wait till nov 4. then jan 20.

sing along with me: "all i want for christmas is a legitimate administration..."

idle amusement

i happened to get distracted tonight by mozilla firefox add-ons. i'm currently amusing myself with the "colorful tabs 3.3" utility. it's sad, really. i should be sleeping. yet i can't help but keep opening new browser tabs to see what color it generates. man, i need a hobby. or at least some sleep.

khary's on youtube, too

just a cute video

i'm abusing privileges at youtube. can you blame me???

Sitting up??? at 4 months!

well, 6 days short of 5 months, but still freakishly early imo. yesterday (aug 22 for those marking in your baby books...er, can i have a copy of it if you got one?) i'm officially calling it "sitting up." for at least 5 minutes my baby khalil sat up by himself, gnawing on toes & toys, without falling over. he even righted himself when he was tipping. what a coordinated wee one he is. here's proof he was doing it again today:


meanwhile, daddy washed the car & khary washed his bike.
