testing? this thing on?
So, a new year and a new intention to start putting forth my thoughts instead of just thinking them and forgetting them. It's cold outside, and drizzly. January in Seattle. PreK started up again (finally!) after a long Christmas break, and I was so ready, I mean SO READY for a nap. Got home, put dinner in the crock pot and lay down. Nothing. ( Read more... ) -
Corn Chowder Quiche
Quiche is a winner of a dinner in our family. I would probably make it once a week if I could get away with it. We rarely have leftovers, and when we do, it makes excellent breakfast/lunch the next day ( Read more... ) -

Might not be all here on a computer, but it will be happening ( Read more... ) -

Baby boy is wonderful, he is 10 months old and full of personality and curiosity. I am so thrilled to be able to stay at home to raise him. School starts next week and I ( Read more... ) -
22 weeks - Lookin' Pregnant!
I hit the "22 weeks" milestone today - while that is not a significant week in the sense of trimester-marking, fetal development or some such, it feels significant to me. I look pregnant! Suddenly! ALL OVER! My tummy is pooching out, and I swear my boobs are getting bigger again - it's ridiculous! My mom noticed that my face even looks fuller ( ( Read more... ) -
Talking. Always Better.
Talked with GK this week about my anxiety and joblessness. Still no job, but I feel loads better. The talking always helps ( Read more... ) -
Pregnant. Halfway done.
So this week I hit the "20 weeks" mark which is the half-way point in a typical 40-week pregnancy. I don't feel that I have extra deep thoughts due to my pending motherhood, and I don't have any major complaints or bad symptoms to describe. So far, the biggest thing looming in my mind is that I am angry about being laid off, and worried about ( Read more... )
