Students Escape from Library, Load up on Fajitas and Fixins

Had dinner at my place last night with some of my school friends--Geoff, Summra & Nachi, Matt & Andrea, and Elissa & Nathan. We had a great time. I made beer-marinated chicken and steak fajitas with all the fixins, sweet corn casserole, spanish rice, etc. Matt and Andrea blended up some delicious strawberry daquiris with Bacardi O and orange peel. Soooo tasty. Elissa made a fabulous kinda-spicy guacamole. Geoff wowed us all with his amazing 7-layer-dip-making abilities, and Summra copped out and purchased a super rich cheesecake instead of making her homemade flan. We drank a bunch of daquiris, beer and wine and had some great conversation. Car behaved herself mostly, but by the end of the night she was attacking & biting Matt's ankles with her usual spirit. We even pulled out Baby Secrets, who appears to be broken and I'm in the doghouse for that because she wasn't broken before I took her to school. I swear, I kept her in the box (mostly) and didn't do anything weird with her.

Daiquiris...fajitas...cheesecake...mmmmmm..... I know this is going to sound disturbing coming from a new mom to be, but maybe if you shake/drop Baby Secrets a couple of times and see if that does the trick? Could be that BS voice box is just feeling a little "tired" wonder if new batteries would help?

Baby secrets has a voice box?

I am concerned about your advice, LA, particularly with Steve's conviction that running while pregnant will lead to shaken baby syndrome. I would also note that though Shad makes fun of me for maintaining an overflowing junk-drawer, I was able to dig in there and find two AA and one 9-volt battery for Baby Secrets when the voicebox started to head south. But that didn't work, either. We also turned the head 360 degrees (was very easy as though it had been done before & without human intervention); we shook and pounded the back and held her upside down. None of this worked.

Someone is playing dirty tricks.
