Reasons not to blog when you're tired.
Ooh, I almost broke my Blog At Least Once Weekly rule there. Again. Not quite sure what's happened, but there's something kind of vacuum-like about 2009. It's almost as if everything was compressed over Christmas and then we all came back to work and the compression was released, so everything shot all over the place and you didn't know where to start.
That makes sense to me anyway. I think what I was trying to say is that 2009 is a bit confusing, and I think everyone's kind of in a trance after so much time off over Christmas, which was apparently the longest break we've had for over 20 years.
In other news, in our GREEN baby's room (what's wrong with all of your monitors?! Even you graphic designers have yours set all WRONG!), we are thinking of having a nice grass and ants theme - you know, with grass along the bottom of the walls and random ants doing their thing amongst it. Maybe some other insects as well, who knows.
Some people might think, "Ants?! They'll scare the baby!" but I have thought about this, and I reckon that kids are conditioned to be scared of things. I don't think it's automatic. So our kid is quite possibly going to grow up to become some kind of botanist or David Bellamy-alike (no, that was not a hint that it's a boy - we still don't know)... or maybe they will just grow up with a fear of fluffy lambs, rabbits and chicks.
Who knows? We'll see.

Am sure they are cute ants!

Interesting theme........I see masses of ornithological books for birthday presents being sent to wee bubba for years to come!

Well you might have known I'd have an opinion, apparently our irrational fear of things like spdiers is because they 'suddenly' appear when we first see them as babies/children and so they shock us and the shock remains with us and becomes a fear, so your idea of having static ants around is good but you might consider some slow crawling things as well!

Excellent. I'll see if we can sneak a few spiders and worms in there somewhere.
