Sunday News

A few things of note:

1) We applied for Johan's passport on September 3. It was issued on September 9, and arrived September 11. Uhhh, seems like an unprecedented show of efficiency from the federal government, no? I thought it was like 8-12 weeks wait to get a passport. So, FYI, if you need a passport, don't get tricked into paying the expediency fee -- as long as you have 8 business days, it should work out. What's also funny is that Johan's passport is valid until 2013. That means he will be able to travel on this passport when he's in kindergarten, with a picture from when he was 9 months old.

2) Yesterday Evelyn took care of Johan while I got my hair cut. When I was done, Johan was sleeping, so Ev said she'd bring him home when he woke up. She did. When she dropped him off, rather than acting like a normal baby and being happy and excited to see his mama, he cried when Ev left. He marches/crawls to his own drum, no doubt. It makes me happy that he feels so attached to her, because I know it means he's getting lots of attention and love when I'm not around. It's, of course, quite interesting how relationships morph over the years- Johan is probably more attached to Ev than to any adult besides Eduardo and me (and as evidenced by yesterday, sometimes more so) while Ev and I had a very tumultuous relationship when I was a kid.

3) Tina Fey does an awesome Sarah Palin. Better than Sarah Palin does Sarah Palin. SNL is back just in time.

it wasn't a jab. i am laughing it up. and just keep in mind that the polls don't track people who are cell phone-only users. people under 30 don't have land-lines.
