  “Yard” Project

  06.23.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  Today we addressed the issue of our “yard” by going to Lowe’s and getting a few bags of cedar mulch, a roll of weed-resistant blanket stuff, and a few bags of pine bark nuggets. Zoe frolicked in the garden center, and by the time we got home she was asleep. The rest of [...]

  Can’t say I missed it

  This morning the whole family took a refreshing swim in our complex’s lagoon-like pool, followed by a nap for Zoe and some much-needed unpacking for Mama.
  Later we explored a nearby park and ventured to the “Super” Wal*Mart. Turns out it wasn’t so super, as the smattering of groceries available was insufficient to complete my [...]

  Ft!

  If I decided to use an expression here I probably should have explained it before now. Long time readers who are curious might be grateful that I have been asked enough now to clarify.
  Ft is my sister, Amanda. I am also a Ft. Zoe probably will be a Ft some day, or [...]

  This is hopefully the last of the pre-written posts. We have been rabid little unpackers when the munchkin allows, and we have a few more boxes to go. There is much business to which we must attend; please be patient with us. I am so excited to be here and that much [...]

  Me: Would you please move the ottoman closer? My legs are short.
  Joel: Sure. Why are your legs so short?
  Me: My genes I guess.
  Joel: Why didn’t your ancestors think longer limbs were important?
  Me: Maybe it behooves me to be short.
  Joel: How does it behoove you to be short?
  Me: I’m very agile. Nimble. [...]

  Slow moving, progress

  By this time next week, we will be in our new place with the truck unloaded.
  Somehow, some way, this will happen… Right? I am so overwhelmed right now that I have no clue where to begin.
  I guess we pack a week’s worth of stuff and start putting everything else into boxes.
  In other news, [...]

  Soap

  05.29.08 | Permalink | 6 Comments

  I generally aim to smell neutral, if not pleasant. My hygiene since becoming a mother has had its questionable periods, but on average I bathe or shower at least once a day. And except for a few months during and after my cancer experience when I did not use deodorant (or anything else [...]
