What were your first words? If you have children, what were their first words?

My first word was "kitty cat." Yes, not only was it three syllables long but it's actually two words. I was 8 months old and apparently I was with my mother's friend and I pointed to a picture of a cat and said "ki ki ca" and my mother's friend flipped out and dragged my mom over and then showed me all these other pictures of cats. The way my mom tells it her friend was way more excited about it than she was.

My brother's first word was "grandpa." We were living with my mom's dad when my brother was adopted. It was so cute because my grandpa wasn't keen on the adoption idea but then once my brother actually showed up they were best friends. They'd take naps together. My grandpa died when I was in high school (and so my brother was about 10). It makes me tear up a bit thinking about it.

Sad:

-My apartment is such a pigsty.  It's completely unlivable, and I'm not going to be able to clean anything this evening because I have Plans.

-I'm staying at Pike's tonight and all I can think about is what excuse is he going to have to bitch at me.

-My mom will not stop emailing me.

-I wrote Luca an email last night and he hasn't responded yet.

-It's freezing in my office.

Happy:

-Finally able to write a public entry!

-Plenty to do at work, and Anna's out of the office for a while.  Plus she seems to be in a good mood.  (As in, she hasn't yelled at anything/one yet.)

-Cute Intern is proficient in witty banter, which is probably my favorite form of flirting.  This is going to be a fun few months.

-I'm going to see some friends tonight that I haven't seen in a couple weeks.

-I'm just in a general good mood today.  Let's hope it stays that way!
