he’s here! he’s here! he’s here!

at 7:26 a.m. the newest boy to steal my heart came into this world. though i had lobbied long and hard for his name to be Eli, sister #3 said when he came out with so much dark hair and considering that today would have been my Grandpa Cub’s 79th birthday, he is named Liam Thomas Becker.

He is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! Glad everything went well and that both he and Sis #3 are good to go. Liam is a dead sexy name, too; he’ll be stealing more hearts than you can count before too long.

Aw, I just wanna kiss that little nose! He’s beautiful.

Babies born on/near a great-grandparents’ birthday? Awesome. Named after that grandparent? Super-awesome! (Clara Jane was due on my grandmother’s birthday, but born two days later. They share a name.)

he’s beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! i too am a HUGE fan of the name eli and always trying convince my sister (only 19, not married, not pregnant but certainly will be someday in the distant future) to let me name one of her boys eli. but if a boy can’t be called eli, liam is an (almost) equally fabulous name.

ps, i wanted to vote in favor of purchasing the digital camera a few days ago. did you decide?

Things I Want to Tell You

Interview #2 at place I would enjoy working at went really well. I'm pretty pumped. [+]

Can I get an AMEN! This woman responds to the Jezebel Hullabaloo the way I wish I could have, had I not been blacking out with the rage. I agree that drinking a lot and having a lot of sex with different men is not feminism. It might be your lifestyle choice and a lot of fun -- go you, but it has nothing at all to do with being a feminist. I think once I simmer down a bit, I will chalk up the whole Hullabaloo to a few drunk 20something girls being stupid and naive, because, that's what 20something girls do. We've all done it, and not to get all sage woman of the earth, but something changes for women when they turn 30. I don't know what it is, I cannot define it, but other woman will agree 30 is a magical age where suddenly you seem more yourself, you think before you speak, you look back at your 20something self and realize what an idiot you were, but you still love that girl. I'm just hoping these Jezebel-girls will be so kind to their 20something selves when they look back at how absolutely foolish they were. {via fimoculous, whose comments are all men discussing the issue which makes me a little sad}. [+]

I had avoided the whole Jezebel hullabaloo until this morning when I was reading Mediation's thoughts on the nonsense. I followed his links to the Metafilter discussion and it was after watching the video there that I blacked out from sheer rage. I'm so angry I can't even write anything coherent. [+]

I just applied for a for reals job for the first time since 2000 (three fors in one sentence, go me). I feel a little like I'm going to barf. I forgot how nerve-wracking it is to want something like this. [+]

"Never mind that while he was on my ass about being in lust with a celebrity who lives in France and has two children with a French model, Greg was in love with a girl from, you know, like, down the street." Peabo cracks me up. [+]

I am celebrating my independence by sitting around in my pajamas until noon. [+]
