Two memories that made me laugh
02.29.08 | Permalink | 2 CommentsTo any readers but my sister: forgive or ignore this one. The first memory came about while making my midnight snack (which tonight is dessert for “second dinner” – how Joel and I eat so much/often and are not tubs of lard is a subject which should be studied). As I placed a ramekin in [...]

Taxes…
…are a bitch. And why do some personal investor companies feel that it is okay not to provide the proper forms until AFTER taxes are due? RIDICULOUS. Update: Taxes are e-filed! Looking back on the past few hours, I’m feeling that it was relatively painless, considering that we had the sale of a home, birth [...]

A happy fatty reports
Zoe has graced us all with a nap. A wonderful, beautiful nap. I could be doing my taxes, or applying for scholarships, or finding housing, or studying, or planning upcoming trips, or cleaning, or emptying my inbox of the 1700+ emails I have, or any number of very productive things. Instead, I am eating incredibly [...]

You kids knock it off!
02.23.08 | Permalink | 2 CommentsAfter working late and staying up even later, and then, just when I was ready to go to sleep, Zoe waking up and being fitful for most of the wee hours and into the morning, I was finally able to sleep for awhile.

Maybe we’ll just celebrate longer, yes? Perhaps it doesn’t have to mean I’m a bad wife for not taking off work. I’m pretty sure it’s all moot anyway [...]

Somehow, some way…
…I will learn to be patient enough to upload pictures to Flickr in the proper order. Or, as my husband suggests, I can use the newest Flickr uploader. Because it really takes away from the pictures when they’re out of order.

State of our health
02.18.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsAt one year, Zoe weighs 19 pounds, 6 ounces and is 30 inches tall. Her head circumference is 47 centimeters. She is healthy and has five and a half teeth. She tolerates vaccines, finger sticks, and TB exposure tests like a champ. What a wonderful little child. My computer is not so lucky. It is, [...]

computer fail
Someone who just turned one spilled water on her Mama’s MacBook, and now it is hosed. I hail from my iPhone to say that ours was a great weekend, the aforementioned little one’s birthday cake owned, and I hope to have pictures from the weekend as soon as possible, provided that the hard drive is [...]

Happy First Birthday, Zoe!
02.14.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsOur precious little baby is now one year old. A whole year. Was it not just yesterday that we saw her for the first time? The most beautiful thing I have ever seen, it is an image that will be with me until my last breath, new to us and the world. Was that a [...]
