General site news and happenings
This portion of the site is my outlet for general opinionated ranting about any and all topics that are slightly related to my life, general parenting or in fact anything I find interesting.
Go, dust!
We used to watch a lot of morning television when the baby was new. You know what morning television is like - it's a hotchpotch of infomercials and cooking shows. And one of those infomercials was for the $69.95 GoDuster!
Time marches on
The baby is now officially 3 months old. I'd like to report that she is walking, talking and doing advanced theoretical mathematics, but sadly that is not the case.
She has very inconveniently not done a single reportable thing during her 3rd month of life.
Broadband? What broadband?
A little background - we live in a rural area, outside the reach of what most people would consider to be broadband. I know this can be hard for Americans (and Australians in the city) to grasp, but the best speed we can get for under $100 a month is 128/128 ISDN. That is, until Telstra decided to remove ISDN home late in 2008.
Comparing children
It seems hard to avoid - once you've already got a kid, everyone either asks you stuff and compares to their own children, or asks comparative questions about your other children. So here goes with a brief summary, mostly for relatives who drift through this site.
Bras update
I thought I'd post on how I went finding some enormous bras. I did eventually buy two, one of which wasn't entirely right and one that is pretty good.
