What’s the Opposite of a Silver Lining?

You know what they say about every cloud......

As I mentioned earlier - I scored a babysitter over Thanksgiving - her name is J, she is my 1st cousin, 3 times removed and the situation is a DREAM, thus far. One of the unexpected bennies from her coming is that it FORCES me to go to the gym - there are NO excuses when you are paying someone to come over so that you can do that very thing you normally have a milion and one excuses to avoid. ANYWHO. The downside of having J babysit is that she is family - her great-grandmother is Normal Olathe Grandma’s sister which means they come from the very SAME familial Assvice Branch (THEIR mother was the grand matriarch of all the Assvice in our family). In short - poor J is already receiving assvice from her great-grandmother! The latest is the “Don’t hold that baby, you’ll spoil him rotten!” remark. Furthermore, all it will take is a casual innocent remark from J to spur much bigger ones to spiral out of control in the familial Gossip Loop. J is a sweet girl and wouldn't mean any harm, but she is not completely experienced in the art of navigating the Gossip Loop. Therefore, I must make sure all booze, peace pipes, and sex toys are hidden. Must keep that family reputation intact, eh? HA.

Anyway - here are more snaps. Digital photography is great, except that I CAN’T. STOP. TAKING. PICTURES. Arun is already starting to react to the red-eye light.

Just like a trained monkey...........
