hello there, I am in fact not at all dead. though i haven't been posting here for a long time.

i do like to read the ljs and so i lurk.

it occurs to me if you see this you may in fact be interested that i am on the facebook (short posts being much easier to manage for this mommy-of-two)

also, i have a blog over here, which is mostly about knitting ( Read more... )

sorry, i do most of my chatting on facebook these days but i thought i'd let you know that we found out today we're having (what appears to be) a perfectly perfect little girl!

another girl!

we couldn't possibly be more happy and excited. now if only we had a name.....

hi there!  well, i'm spending more and more of my "blogging" energy over at facebook.  it seems that the ability to just fire off little bits of updates is easier.  i have so little time and so i spend most of it lurking and occasionally spewing something.

life is great today.  i had a rough spot back there for a while, but as per usual each time it ( Read more... )

had the bestest birthday ever, or, well, um, it was really great.   I have no doubt the last few hours will be awesome as well.  spent the morning (after waffles & coffee!) sorting and folding all of clara's old clothes by size and putting them all away for future munchkins and no, i'm not pregnant, or at least, not yet, or i don't know if i am.  ( Read more... )

i have so little time these days to even catch up on lj, let alone post.  but since i'm supposed to be working i figured i'd waste some of my time on the internet.  not that writing to you is ever a waste, tastey readers, but you all know what i mean ( Read more... )

clara and i are sick.  oddly enough, i'm handling it better than she is.  usually i'm the worst, most mopey person when i'm sick but i'm hanging in there.  poor girl is trying to birth two more molars and be sick at the same time.  she has the worst cough and the runny nose.  tomorrow we're supposed to get shots but i don't think that's going to ( Read more... )

today i got into the dumbest car accident in the universe.  me ->  open car door, go oh crap a tow truck, oh i have room, oh wait i have not enough room.  crunch.  but the guy was going about 1/2 a mile an hour and it bent my door a weeeeee bit.  of course we had to do the insurance thing and the cop thing and people were waiting for me to open a 1 ( Read more... )

i'm not saying that you have solved all of my problems in life... because it's only day two of the miracle of your existance (and lots of things make clara super happy for three days, the real test, i'm afraid will be thursday) but you have made the past two days so awesome as to be remarkable ( Read more... )

well, chrannukah was lovely, we had a nice time in maine taking advantage of the nearness of very enthusiastic grandparents (ahhh, it finally kicks in, my desire to have time for myself and their desire to steal my child)

anyway, it was basically a clusterfuck of toys with my niece at my mom's.  holy shit if that was holding back in the presents ( Read more... )

well, hmmmm.  today i had to work all day long with the peanut and i was DREADING it.  i was having flashbacks to the times when we used to close the shop (before i knew that was a bad idea) and she would freak out at the end of the day.  so i overprepared, i had several changes of clothes, enough diapers for a daycare, lots of food, lots of juice ( Read more... )
