Yesterday was kinda a clusterfuck. I freaked out - entirely unnecessarily as it turned out - over what appears to be Amazon's mistake. Clearly I am uncomfortable with the more visible profile I have on the internet. Plus, I didn't take very good care of myself and was strung out on wheat and caffeine. Ugh. I felt rotten last night ( Read more... )

I had expectations of writing up something really witty. Apparently my running facebook commentary on the Royal Wedding was a hit. I feared I was being obnoxious (not that that's ever stopped me before). I am grateful to nose for keeping me company via chat while we watched simultaneously. It was almost like having a friend with me! I mean, I did. But ( Read more... )

*Top Chef season 8. I love Top Chef. LOVE. IT. It's completely Bennett appropriate but sadly he couldn't care less.

*Laundry.

*Water. Drink of champions.

*Constant snuggles. And constant attention to my kids. Nursing, tickles, kisses, discipline - all of it.

Tonight is all about frozen pizza, red wine and the Miami Heat/Chicago Bulls game.

*Adam is a rock star. He has been parenting Bennett almost entirely on his own the last 5 days. I love seeing how close they are ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a long looked for day, a day Adam and I had been holding out for with prayers and strength of will. February 7th marked 37 weeks gestation, meaning the midwives would feel 100% fine about assisting a homebirth and the baby would be considered full term. Full term! I have a full term baby in my uterus! This is very exciting. The ( Read more... )

My sister, at my suggestion, started watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She'd never seen any of it. Her first response was, huh, why do you like it so much? I felt the same way when I first saw an episode or two. I completely derided the show for creating a ditzy saviour named Buffy who slayed vampires. Ha! Absurd! And then one weekend in grad ( Read more... )

+I was not able to see the eclipse yesterday morning due to the clouds. But I still had a lovely time in the peaceful morning - an excellent meditation by candle light. This morning I praised the return of the sun as the days now get longer. The sunrise seemed to last for ages and ages! It was clear in the east and cloudy in the west. The pink ( Read more... )

I've had a cold, nothing too awful, just intense. I've been layed out on the couch reading (mostly Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine. Ho boy, not an upper), drinking water and tea, trying to breathe and watching Buffy. So it's not all bad ( Read more... )

I just saw the 'Baby it's cold outside' video from Glee. And hot damn, if that's not the best thing I've seen from Glee, possibly ever. I just wish greatness like that wasn't mashed together with such shitty writing and plotting and characters, and UGH. However, I just have to know: do they kiss? I sure hope so, because that would be a Christmas

Bennett is on the big couch watching Kung Fu Panda on Adam's laptop. Adam is upstairs in his office watching Entourage on his desk top. I am on the little couch, across from Bennett, watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer on my laptop ( Read more... )
