Warning! Cute kid pictures ahead. I’m back…although some of my luggage is apparently still in Florida. Thanks, Tampa luggage guys! I hope to get it back tonight. In the meantime, say hello to my new niece, Wildie Ann. Here she is with her adorable sister. And here’s FreakNiece The First – at the playground and laughing in the morning after a particularly fun game of “I’m going to tickle you until you practically pee on the couch.”

Well, my Key West trip is coming to an end. I fly home tomorrow afternoon…back to the cold weather. Things here are good, although the new baby doesn’t seem to want to sleep at night. The lack of sleep is taking a toll on my sister, so I’m hoping the little one settles in a routine soon. In other most excellent news, this morning around 8:00am, my sister’s best buddy Whitney gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Her due date wasn’t for about 1 1/2 weeks or so, but everything is great. And, today a good friend of mine celebrates her last day of work before maternity leave. Baby fever, people, it’s the new thing. This is one trend I’ll sit out, thank you very much. See you all on Monday!

Probably a good idea, Kevin, but you’ll never make us forget the Bennifer Reign of Terror. Also notable about this story is the awesome picture of Trey Parker. Does the AP newsfeed just pull a random picture using keywords? Funny.

Howard Stern’s show has been suspended. Christ. I go away for a week, and I lose the one man that’s been there for me every morning since I was a kid. Thanks, Janet Jackson! Hope it was worth it.

IT’S A(nother) GIRL!!! She was born around 5:30 this morning, and looks just like her big sister. Everyone is happy and healthy. I’ll be going back to the hospital later this afternoon…in the meantime I have to stay off the internet so I don’t read about the Sex & The City finale. I won’t see it until this weekend when I get home. So don’t tell me anything. More soon!

The weather has turned lovely here in Key West, and I got to sit in the sun for awhile today and coax my freckles out from their winter hibernation. Things would be even better if my sister had her baby; she’s now a couple of days overdue and I think she’s getting a bit frustrated. Every time I ask my niece when the baby’s coming, she says “Saturday!” so we’re hoping that maybe she’s psychic. Cross your fingers and I’ll let you all know when it happens. In the meantime, I intend to work some more on my tan and read another Disney book for the 100th time to my niece.

Yesterday I heard the sad news that Howard Dean has dropped out of the prez race. Ted Rall’s thoughts are pretty close to mine. (if you’ve got something inflammatory to say about Dean or Rall or me in general, save it for another day, because I won’t be around much to respond) :)

It’s killing me that I don’t get Howard Stern down here, but apparently Stuttering John is going to be announcing for the Tonight Show. Wow.

Here I am in Key West…you’ll be pleased to hear that the weather is kind of crap right now. Chilly and overcast. However, I AM in a t-shirt, jeans, and bare feet, so it’s still better than the Northeast, I reckon. Hopefully I’ll get a few sunny, warm days. My niece is taking a nap right now; we spent the day together. She is hilarious. Non-stop action with this one. No sign of the new baby yet. My sister is extremely ready to have this kid…I hope it comes soon, for all our sakes. My niece keeps pointing at her tummy and telling me, “The baby’s coming pretty soon!” Freak.
