I failed to notice that LoudTwitter was, well, not loud twittering. I'll have to find another solution, but for now the missing ones:

7/15:
My new iPhone 4 is SLICK...it keeps sliding off of where I set it down. Sigh. Nice features but I clearly need a case or sticker brake.

7/16:
You know milk mustaches? Drew has a milk beard, from sharing Scott's breakfast cereal. Had. Most of it got snuggled off on my clothes.

My alarm system can somehow ignore the cats (I need to learn that trick! :) but Roomba sets it off. Good to know...kinda.

Uh, @twitter - any chance blocking accounts could also hide retweets (using the official feature) of that account's tweets?

7/17:
Just passed a motor-trike on the freeway. The passenger was reading a paperback.

Drew can fit an entire thin slice of cantaloupe in his mouth at once. And does. Also a hit: mac & cheese with bacon.

? (dates messed up):
Time w/Uncle John and Aunt Julia. Afternoon at OMSI. Evening a VERY good restaurant (Iorio) thanks to ratings from @yelp - today rocked.

Yesterday was lovely. http://kyrielle.livejournal.com/1544678.html

Drew: "Deedeedee." Scott: "D&D?" Drew: Deedee!" Me: "Can you say 'Kingmaker'?" Drew: "Keemock!"

Awww. The store deli accidentally put some meat and lettuce on my mustard sandwich. Not enough to taste though. Also, ew.

They were playing in Drew's room while I slept. Drew grabbed his blanket & came down the hall to our room, opened the door, came to me.

Work laptop battery isn't holding a charge. Good thing I wasn't planning to go anywhere this weekend - I'm on call.

Monday or Tuesday this should arrive for Drew: http://tiny.cc/8r9ep - he's a little fond of buckles right now.

"Auu-gah!" Daddy has taught Drew to squeeze his own nose and say awooga! And to squeeze OUR noses and expect us to say it. Thanks, dear.

Oh my sleepy son. http://yfrog.com/2mpdwej

At @OregonZoo waiting for Great Big Sea concert - starts in less than an hour! http://yfrog.com/mjjbvsj

Seated with feet of the katu (tv station) setup but on the wrong side for their pan over the crowd. Interesting perspective hearing it.

Katu has decamped, the reporter joking as he went that they ought to sell the spot they record from, it filled w/people so fast.

And the concert starts.

"All the chimps got loaded drunk / and now they need a vet."

Toddlers spinning, jouncing, bouncing, waving their hands. The joy.

"I'm the fountain of affection" (audience screaming) "...apparently..."

"This is not that kind of song. You're making me see this song in a whole different light."

Wonderful show.

Raspberry pie cooling. Pot roast cooking in the slow cooker. My house smells good, promises to smell better.

Me: "Do you have a sea-horse?" Drew, waving it: "Neigh!"

"This banana will be administered nasally." Not my baby for once!

iPhone 4 camera has flash. My blurry dim evening Drew photos have become crystal-clear shots of the arm raised to shield eyes.

Late night last night. Early morning this morning. 6:30 pm: Scott: "...thanks for watching Drew tonight...." Drew: *sound asleep*

Do I have a toddler or 4-year-old? Fascination w/trains has begun. Handy. I bribed him w/video of trains to sit still for toothbrushing.

Fun in the Park. Drew got a balloon giraffe, pizza, elephant ear, lots to watch, people to greet. Result: http://yfrog.com/g0tbwxj

No time in the toddler bounce-house tho. We went early, near opening, thus close to his nap. Too tired to be worth the line.

Drew liked the ice cream (ate almost all a kid's cone!): yfrog.com/1rp6yj

This changing room has giant baby pics on the wall. "Baby!" said Drew. Now he's playing peek-a-boo with them.

Drew appears to be trying to make a lovey out of a wooden toddler chair. He carries it about - and tried to bring it into my lap.

Drew is capable of waking when we slip out his door. And sleeping thru his smoke alarm protesting its batteries at full volume.

Can anyone recommend a radio station in Portland OR that has frequent traffic reports for am/pm and knows Wilsonville exists?

(I do know k103 and 1190 kex. If k103 has a schedule I can't intuit it. 1190 is reliable, but sometimes annoying shows.)

#ebz The Starveling Cat! The Starveling Cat! Scares off the salesman who stops for a chat!

{Okay, this was last Friday}
Did I really have to get sick this morning, thus (due to schedules) delaying fitting of my contact lenses TWO WEEKS?

Poor Drew. Another ear infection. Amoxicillin is a good thing...luckily he also likes the taste.

Yannow, @PretzelCrisps look kind of tasty...pity. Because after reading the writeup at http://tinyurl.com/34j2br8 - I won't give them money.

No, really? The news media thinks hormonal contraceptives can ONLY be used for contraception? Again? Sigh. http://tinyurl.com/2vprkej

Sometimes, I wish I'd started playing #ebz on a separate account so I could tweet game things without worrying if I'll annoy people.

Though then I'd probably forget to log into it and play. :P #ebz

...no, I mean it'd be fun to role-play it more - for me but maybe not others.

"I thought you were waking up. You're not wakey at all!" Drew: *burrows into mattress, turns face away from Mom*

Drew borrowed Scott's t-shirt: http://yfrog.com/n9rfaj #fb

{This was Tuesday of this week}
My son shares. He shared his cold. I feel like warmed-over death.

#ebz Starveling Kitty! Starveling Kitty! Some say his lines are Written by committee!

8/18:
Memo to Laura Schlessinger: say something people don't like where they hear of it and they will respond. Freedom of speech - yours & theirs.

#ebz Starveling Kitty! Starveling Kitty! No he didn't approve this ditty!

8/19:
Drew points at a Thomas the train book. "Book. Choo choo!" Then gets it and sits down to be read to.

A while later, "Book. Pooh!" Yes, Winnie the Pooh and a silly fishing story.

Also? He now says "He'p" (help) when he needs help OR when he wants to help you. Some of the time, anyway.

Coming home from a stressful commute to find your game already running mid-combat in a system you're still learning: NOT FUN.

#ebz The Starveling Cat! The Starveling Cat! Claws all the curtains! Sits on your hat!

#ebz The Starveling Ket! The Starveling Ket! Mean when he's dry! Worse when he's wet!

I see lots of people using twittinesis, fwiw.
