Miscellaneous

Breaking away from a motion for partial summary judgment to vent:

Do you have any idea how freakin' hard it is to find a pair of red leggings, size 12 months?  I thought with Val's day just wrapped up, it might not be so bad.  But jeez! 

Peach has a number of cute, short-sleeved dresses (many of which are care of law school friend Nikki), which I prefer to put her in for daycare because it tends to be quite warm there -- and it's simple enough to pull off a sweater and/or leggings if she gets overheated.  The ease of changing -- also nice.  I hate snaps. 

I love one of her dresses -- soft jersey material, empire waisted, and blue with red flowers -- but it is impossible to find leggings for.  Black?  For little girls?  Good luck.  Blue? Matching shades is impossible with this particular dress.  And red?  Also impossible.  White is just a disaster waiting to happen. 

I may just have to splurge and get a couple of pairs of Baby Legs.

In other news, the eclipse was visible here.  Yes, actually, this is HUGE news.  Not the most beautiful lunar eclipse I've ever seen, but it's the first darn eclipse I've seen since moving to Oregon 9 years ago.  Every other time, it's been bloody cloudy.  A friend gave us a telescope when we moved here -- and I could only think that it was a cruel, cruel joke on her part.  To go from living in the mountains where we could see the Milky Way from our deck to Washington County, Oregon, where we're lucky to see a dozen stars on a clear night -- it was something of a let down.

The Peach is still sick, coughing in the other room.  Got to run and check on her.
