Trader Joe's Banilla soy shake? Why haven't I heard of this before now?

MUST. have some.

You know? I think I'm going to relax more. Go with the flow. I've been so worried about certain things and have read so much and talked to people all with differing experiences and opinions, that I'm thinking I shouldn't worry about getting it "wrong." I try too much to be perfect, which perfection is subjective anyway. I should trust myself more ( Read more... )

I had a wonderful weekend, with it culminating in a great baby shower yesterday. It was so nice to have a couple different groups of friends together in one place. Everyone was so sweet and generous and I got lots of advice (and will be seeking out more from some of the mums later). Thanks, dj_muse, you're awesome.

This a.m. I informed E about the squirrel on the stairs. Apparently he doesn't remember me yelling for his help last night, turning on the light in the bedroom to see if the thing ran in there or any of this. Later, while he's fixing breakfast, he calls me downstairs. I thought, "oh no, more bad news. He probably found a huge gaping hole somewhere ( Read more... )

Yep. I heard a thunk and went to look. It was dark and I almost didn't notice the shape on the stair going up to the 2nd floor. Thought it was some dust, but then remembered the stairs had recently been swept and anyway it was a big pile of dirt, if that's what it was ( Read more... )

There are squirrels in the attic. I wish we could offer them a nice, warm place to stay - with the guarantee from them that they won't chew all the new wiring and wreak havoc within the walls. Oh well, someone's coming Tuesday to set traps (humane, I'm sure ( Read more... )
