Sprouting Crap

My cupcakes came out well–not as well as my friend JP’s, but pretty well.  I had them in the oven maybe 5 minutes too long–but they are all gone. I took a couple to my running friends today.  Pretty much all the TG food is gone.
That’s especially good because I don’t seem to be able [...]

Obsessed

For the past 3 or 4 months I have been watching a rerun of ER every day.  It has obviously become an obsession—today is the last episode until next Monday and though I have Tgiving to celebrate and I’m going to a show on Friday, I am sad that ER won’t be on.  Three of [...]

I don’t want any more

I am feeling very pregnant today and not just because of my size.  I ordered the Sunday special (smoked salmon and scrambled eggs) at brunch.  When it arrived I was incredibly skeeved. I could not eat it. I picked around the excessive stinky fish to get to the egg but couldn’t do it. My friends [...]

To say nothing of the sleep issue

I spent some time this weekend ruminating about things that will make me a less than ideal parent. I know that this list is likely to expand radically once I see what is entailed.  But here are some thoughts.
1)      I don’t particularly like to eat vegetables.  I am going to have to learn to love [...]

At home

I look forward so much to being at home it’s almost embarrassing.  What do I do there? I watch TV, read mysteries, knit a three-foot square blanket that I hope will be done in early Jan.  I have spent close to 5 hours knitting over the past couple of days. It can’t last–my shoulder will [...]

Belly!

This just kills me.  What kind of crazy cat sleeps in this position?  She’s been in this position most of the evening except when she’s been cuddling up next to me and slapping my hand every time I stopping petting her. What a weird animal.
She does get awfully stiff and she also chews herself viciously–either [...]

Sneezy or Grumpy?

Ive been knitting on the subway lately. I’m making a blanket that started at with a few cast on stitches and increased by one stitch per row over the last 200 or so rows.  Soon it’ll be time to start reducing the stitches. 
But the fun thing about knitting on public transportation is that other knitters [...]

My Halloween

On Halloween, I am thrilled not to be a parent. I don’t like H’ween and it wasn’t a huge deal where I grew up.  I hope to not have to deal with it for at least 3 more years. In my neighborhood, kids and parents come from miles around to beg the businesses for candy. [...]
