Hurray! I am actually going out tonight! My husband is babysitting and I am heading for Elgin Street (downtown).  It's been forever since I was able to get out of the house: Erica is 8.5 mo old, and has just started sleeping through the night.  Before then it was too chancy to go out, since if she woke up, only mummy could get her back down.

So: I am getting all tarted up tonight, putting Erica to sleep, calling a cab, kissing my man on the cheek and away I go!

I just have to post this, it's a bit scary, and sometimes I feel alone but.... I think I am about to breakup with Two Worlds.  It just hasn't delivered what it promised.

It's as simple as that. No one is perfect, and my buddy is a great person. I was feeling sad, my husband was out with the boys, so I gave her a call.  Talking to her made everything so much better.  I just want so many good things for her, and I sometimes just worry.

Hmmm... my best friend from high school is a great gal.  Pretty, smart, funny, but over the years she's gotten strange.  She is really awkward to talk to. She has a habit of saying something obscure, then explaining herself. All the time. For instance we were at a BBQ yesterday, full of people that we don't know. In Canada there is an MP (member of parliament) who got married to his partner, it's a gay marriage. Somehow this came up and my friend makes a reference to her old coworker and whether or not her coworker congratulated him.  Huh? OK. whatever.

My husband and I talked long and hard about how to get Erica to sleep, and last night we decided to let her cry a little more. The idea was to put her down all fed and happy, then if she woke up before 2AM, so go in, make sure she's OK, give her a bit of love then to walk away and let her cry for about a half hour. If she wasn't down by then, feed her or calm her down. Not for everyone, granted, but she was just getting worse and worse at night.

And you know what?
