Can I make it to the store tonight?

I really really want to stop by BB&Beyond and get at least one of S's gifts. They have 2 items I want to get him, they are both bathroom-type practical things that he needs and he will like, and of course, as always, I have a bunch of those 20% off coupons. I'm going to try and swing by there after I pick up Boston Market for us--again, with coupons. Last night found me sitting at home cutting out a million coupons. My mom cancelled her b-day visit from me at the last minute, telling me to come another time and bring my brother. The coupons were courtesy of her, as she always saves them for me from her Sunday paper.

I was driving S's car earlier this week when he had the baby, and I noticed he had a bunch of bags in the back. They were from various stores and looked suspiciously like X-mas gifts--and they were! No, of course I didn't snoop. I don't want to ruin my own fun and surprise on X-mas day!

I really hope they do away with these evening hours at work; that's one of the proposed changes that might occur come Jan. 2. I don't mind it too much, but there's really no reason to pay a librarian good money to sit here and answer 6 questions or less from 5-7 pm. Plus, I'd rather split earlier. Plus, it's only me and Bob that work evenings, which really is not fair at all. Plus, I'd rather split earlier. (It bears repeating.) I think at the very least they might decide to hire another evening p/t person like they already have for the other evenings. That's the latest rumor, anyway.

My Lt. had his 2nd baby today, a girl, Erin Maria Rose. I've actually been thinking of baby names recently, after seeing the article on the most popular baby names of the year. Boring, as always!!! I've always wanted to name my daughter, for example, Badness. It is an old southern name, or at least that's my story and I'm stickin' to it. More cool names that I like: Peanut. Isis. Tsunami (that's my mom's contribution). Delicious (I know, ghetto). Rebel, but Robert Rodriguez beat me to it. Viola, for obvious reasons. Lucien, which I have always thought was a beautiful name for a boy. Anyway, S and I already have names picked out , both for boy/girl although he nixed my favorite Lucien, saying it was too close to Lucifer. Whatever! The names we have I' m happy with, though. I've always liked that scene in Arthur where he says, "How do you feel about naming a child Vladimir? Even if it's a girl?" I know what he means!!!
