It's memorial day? oops, guess i'm not going to upstate ny for the memorial day party.

Wants to play more music and watch fewer bad 60s scifi movies, even though the latter's (sometimes) fun and the former takes extra energy.

You can be my friend, but you have to work extra hard to get into my tiramisu club

Brandenburg 6 soloist barefoot unshowered and awesome?

You know you really love someone and that they really love you back when you spend the evening in the basement together bailing water with 5gallon buckets (and 2lb yogurt containers) when the water tank bursts, and only loving words are said the whole time.

Keith gave me the weirdest book of short stories to read, and I find they are so weird that I can only read them in small doses.

Brandenburg 6 is the world's most beautiful viola joke.

I have such a huge overbite that I have to eat half of any sandwich upside-down. (No I wont get that orthodontically fixed.)

It's almost time for my first trip back to the gym, but I keep putting it off in f(l)avor of ice-cream.

There is no need for words today - but i sure am having fun learning new ones by reading silly fluff short stories about really angsty thirty year old socialite women.

a special thank you to the lady who was really nice about me backing into her car (twas but a tap) in the ultra-dark parking garage, and also a special un-thank you to ALL the people in Boston who don't use their turn signals.

It took three days to (unrelatedly) read slaughterhouse five and watch 2001 a space odyssey, but they both were wonderful and exceeded expectations, which is rare for me - even when i have the lowest of low expectations, which i didn't in this case.

Today at the gym one of the trainers said to me, "you are a lot tougher than you look" and I'm still trying to decide if that was a complement or not.

Thought everyone would like a bonus picture for today, to introduce Henry ... and don't worry, not every post from now on will be about babies.

Best compliment ever (from a mom who sees me every week) "You are the skinniest pregnant lady ever!" (err, I had the baby last week)

After dropping my bother and sister off in the woods where they could continue their hike of the Appalachian Trail, we drove out on a windy, bumpy road and as soon as we got back on pavement, I got car sick for the first time in over 15 years... which resulted in lot of laughter by all (including myself) about 5 minutes later.

Adjusting to having four people in our family is trickier with a sick one year old instead of a healthy one - you didn't think we'd be getting any sleep, did you?

I didn't take a single picture of anything today... so much for the resolve to get a picture a day of the new baby.

Donuts for breakfast and a resolution to be healthy from now on for lunch mean we had a walk for dinner.

I was able to give my courageous brother and sister a hug for the first time in months and it felt so good!
