The basketball game was great fun -- many thanks to my parents for the tickets and the good company! However, it is so nice to be home again. We have so much unpacking to do, but our new iPod is so distracting! Once I get it all set up, it'll be a good cleaning companion.
We're back from California... we had a wonderful visit! More on that later.
Alleluia! Christ is Born!
In less than six months I weigh less than I did before Kate was conceived and am at least a size smaller (with my new body shape). I now comfortably wear a size I haven't worn for six years, since I was seventeen. This creates some wardrobe problems, but happiness nonetheless.
Thank you! I got enough confirmed offers. I'll let you know how it works out...
Christmas season is so busy.
It costs more for 80 standard stamps than it does for 80 photo Christmas cards of smiling Kate.
Kate is on week two of being sick. I've got the cold for the second time (I gave it to Mike who gave it to Kate, who gave it back to me) and this time, it's hitting me really hard. I do not have the strength to use the suction-ball thingy for Kate's nose by myself.
Thanks to my husband's link and sidebar pic, more people have signed up to help me (and themselves!) get a free iPod. A note to all you skeptics, I have real life friends who have received them -- it works. All you need to do is sign up and complete an offer. I wanted to let all of you who have signed up and not completed an offer yet know that there is a free internet trial for PeoplePC listed. You can sign up, wait for your offer to go through (15 days or less), and cancel within the 30-day trial period.
Kate has her first cold. She's feeling pretty yucky and looking quite pathetic. She wants everyone to feel sorry for her! It's hard to comfort an infant with a cold and cough because there's not much you can do for them. Anyhow, I found it interesting that at the ripe old age of 5 months, she already wipes her nose on her sleeve if I am too slow with a tissue. It's a basic instinct, I guess!
I think it was Matt Colvin who first said: "First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes open and professed paedocommunion."
In my study of Classics, I learned about the poor people who didn't have technology. This sometimes comes in handy. Tonight, I had to do some car repairs but didn't have a flashnight. Did I fret? No, no, my friend. I was calm because I once read about a people who used candles. So there I was: working in the back of my identical Volvos by candlelight.
I completed my first solo sewing project yesterday. I made a new ring sling in black and white toile. I hemmed all the edges. I did a french seam. It turned out pretty nice! I'll try to get a picture up of Kate lounging in it soon.
