a simple mission to swap the baby gate....

so, we head across town to swap the baby gate out for one that will actually open. there is a baby consignment store right next to babies r us (clever people) so i went there while [livejournal.com profile] h_postmortemus went to return the gate. i discovered that as babies get bigger their clothes gets more expensive. nonetheless, with my baby sitting loot, i got a good stack of warmer outfits for sylvia. i can't wait - lots of cozy coveralls, long sleeved onesies and such. she's getting highly mobile. she's not yet to the stage where she'll crawl across a whole room, but she'll turn and lunge towards anything she wants, such as mommy and daddy :). we're getting actual hugs! and as good as that sounds, it feels a thousand times better.

in more mundane news, we then went over to the turtles store that's going out of business. it's now at 70-80% off and we both enjoyed our purchases so much last time that we went a little nuts. my loot for this mission:

  • Choice Picks - Celebrating the 10th Annual Bluegrass Music Awards ($5. the most expensive cd in my stack)

  • Evidence Blues Sampler - Five

  • Schubert - Famous Lieder (Vocal Music/Classical Evolution)

  • Mahler - Lieder (Vocal Music/Classical Evolution)

  • kd lang and the reclines - Angel With a Lariat

  • kd lang - all you can eat (i've never gotten a kd lang cd i didn't like, and these were $5 combined)

  • Frank Yankovic & Friends: Songs of the Polka King (Vol 1) (Al's dad)

  • Holst: The Planets (Orchestre Symphonique de Montreal/Dutoit)

  • Alanis Morissette - Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie

  • The Wallflowers - Breach

  • Cherry Poppin' Daddies - Soul Caddy



yea! more cds to rip.

then we went to crystal palace and had more than enough chinese food. i also discovered the unbelievable chicken satay that has apparently always been ther, but i've never had. ah well. it's part of the non-traditional part of the chinese buffet which i tend to avoid in order to have a 'purist' experience. i also drifted over to the kiddy buffet, but not for food; sylvia got her first balloon :).

I don't know any of the others, but the Dutoit Planets is fabulous. Excellent choice!

it is. i am pleasantly surprised. i knew that i liked 'the planets', but i hadn't actually heard it for a while.
