Moving at the speed of light..........

Mrs. Lime and Kali 0.9 headed to New York City for the weekend to hang out with Kali's aunt. There going to hang out there for a couple of days and buy cheap rip-off goods in the back alleys of Chinatown.

Meanwhile, I get a couple of days to get a full night's sleep and get a few things done. Early list is.......

-Decorate X-mas tree (lights are already on tree)
-Install baby locks on cabinets
-Go to Mizzou/Purdue basketball game
-Find time to take in a session of poker at the casino
-Sleep

The baby locks are a definite need at this point. Kali has suddenly become fully mobile. She crawls at a sustained speed of roughly 25 MPH (I've used a radar gun and can accurately confirm that speed). As a result, this is now my new routine when Kali plays on the floor........

1. Set Kali down on floor next to toys.
2. Look up to watch 15 seconds of the show currently on TV.
3. Look back and find Kali roughly 50 feet from where you set her just 15 seconds earlier.
4. Run over to grab her and bring her back to the starting point before she does something dumb.
5. Go back to step #1 and repeat.

Given that she's also learned that handles on drawers and cabinet doors are very useful for getting into things, the baby locks are now a must to save Mrs. Lime from pulling her hair out daily. With Mizzou football done until New Year's Day and the Chiefs being so bad, I should have plenty of time this weekend to get those installed.
