The Value of Sleep
I am going to lose out on a bit of it as I post here but I wanted to make a point of getting a little entry in as often as I can so that I can maybe come back later and expound on things. This has been the fourth of fifth day in a row that K has not gotten a good nap. He is still bawling on the changing pad most times. I may have discovered that ( Read more... ) -
Our little man
He arrived on Friday March 23, 2012 at 6 pounds and 2 ounces and 19.75 inches long. He was named a couple of days later while we were expecting to be released from the hospital while he had to stay another night. The name selection was by far the toughest part. Being devoted to him, visiting the NICU and pumping breastmilk at all hours was ( Read more... ) -

Let’s see - I did what I could today - in my own distractable fashion ( Read more... ) -
Here It Goes Again
Today was a better day, if only because I played it safe. Okay, so I am telling a half truth. I am not letting things bother me so much though. Tomorrow will be brighter and will be more exciting regardless of how it plays out. Today, I hemmed the other set of curtains which i yesterday washed the remnants of cat territory off of without ( Read more... ) -
Not One of the Best Endings
The day started out alright. I went as early as possible to the gym considering that I am slacking off. I noticed that there was a yoga class at 10:45 so I stayed all the until lunch and had a well rounded healthfest. After that, I discovered extra discounts when I went to spend my Christmas cash at Ann Taylor. Then I came home to a slew of ( Read more... ) -
Almost Spotless
So, here he is, Jenn-Air somesuch or another (not yet soiled by food or use). And yes, that is a shot of the cabinets, countertop and wallpaper - almost indistinguishable from each other. I would love to talk more about my week, but my enthusiasm for being tied to the computer is waning. By the time I get there I will have forgotten about it all ( Read more... ) -
Range on the Home
I wanted to dedicate my first entry back for the next round of semi-blogging to the next new toy in the house. Over Thanksgiving, Fox bought a new range to fit our specialized space in the kitchen. The whole idea has been weird for me from the start and since then I have been mildly disgruntled about it. See, our kitchen was state of the art ( Read more... ) -
rug slipcovers
Today was a monumentous day (sunny with no predicted rain in sight, mind you). Finally, we have selected a rug for our game room mark two. This is an occasion in itself because we can now start to possibly invite people over. People is a group at this point that do not mind cats or squalor and can pretend to play cards. In order to launch the ( Read more... ) -
Sabotage
Even though I have been on vacation since Thursday and have wanted to regale you (including future me) with tales of my trip, I fail by leaving my glasses at home. My eyes are so dry that it's tough to focus on the screen ( Read more... ) -
What Sort of Magic
I have said it before but rain is brilliant. I only felt slightly daunted by the drive home because of all the folk gathered around. It has been a while since I have driven toward a horizon where the sky and ground meld into a single color.
I have been at a surprising peace today.
