Aug. 18th, 2008 05:38 pmWell! I am growing ever more optimistic about bedtime and sleep in general since last night Madam was very dozy but still eyes-open awake when I put her down and she didn't cry at all, but lay and played with her toys for fifteen minutes or so, then went to sleep and slept through until just before half 7. No vomit or anything! And she was really, really awake when I put her down for her daytime nap but again settled herself really well. Fingers crossed for tonight.
Since I'm no longer a shambling zombie, i really have no excuse for not getting back to The Specials in my Nap Break - need to go through it with a fine tooth comb (too lazy), then write a cover letter (started), research Radio Drama Agents (started) and... um... send it off (too scared). Didn't even work on Family Reunion today - ignored all writing and played Soul Calibur instead. Naughty Scribbles. The Character Creation facility is horribly moreish. As well as making Eric, Nym, Janapurna and LeFroux, I now also now have Mavis Swift from 'Allies', The Creature from the Inversion Trilogy (or 'Chaos', to give him his assumed Arch Villain name) and an Evil Sheila (called 'Shadow'). Think I might make an Evil Diana ('Nightshade' - even though that makes her sound like a Gladiator... sod it, all the Evil!Persona names I make up for them sound like Gladiators) and an Evil Presto (any ideas for names? Warlock might be a good one).
My Dunlop Green Flashes are dying, so I pootled out to get some new trainers today, but then decided once I was in the shop to splurge on a pair of DMs instead. Haven't had a pair since the early 90s - Saturday must have put me in a Retro Mood. So my new shoes are metallic purple Doc Marten Classic boots, and they are beautiful. I'm wearing them in right now. Add to this the fact that I can't keep Violet out of her wellies at the moment and you've got a whole lot of indoors boot wearing. We spent a while this afternoon dancing on the lino in the kitchen in our boots to the Jackson 5. Joy.
Husband bought Ballroom Blitz by Sweet the other day, and it's glorious in a naff sort of way. I think Data and Tasha might have to make arses of themselves dancing in public to it at some point.
