Babysitting

I did more cleaning in the morning and managed to get a resume and cover letter out before picking up Jessica from work. She took a half day since she came into work early the past few days, and it was perfect because we both decided that we were gonna get a bookcase for our bedroom.

We had a delicious lunch at the Contemporary Museum cafe: she had an Asian Pasta Salad with vegetables and I had a Mozerella Prosciutto sandwich with tapenade, bell peppers and arrugula.

After lunch we went to Home Depot and found a nice cheap metal bookshelf to store stuff in our bedroom; it'll go a long way to getting things off of the floor.

Yesterday, Jessica's sister had asked us to babysit little Lilinoe because she and her husband were going to a special screening of "DeLovely." We both said yes excitedly since we were gonna get some quality baby time (I myself was probably more excited because baby Lilinoe gets enough attention from her grandparents and other relatives that I hardly get to hold her!).

Let's just say that both Jessica and I got some quality baby time during our babysitting session: overall Lilinoe was fine unless you count the few times she was downright uncomfortable for some reason (and that's after making sure she wasn't hungry or wet in the diaper). But we calmed her down okay and she managed to sleep a long while on my chest.

Babies are hard work, but they sure are worth it.
