Dream a Little Dream of Me
They just popped back into my head. I had two strange dreams last night, both about Lil Smudge.
In the first one, he was a small person, maybe 4 or 5 years old. He wasn’t doing anything in particular, I was just really happy to see him post-babyhood.
I was having a lovely last-minute snuggle with Jill […]

Top 10 Things I’m Looking Forward to Doing When I’m Not Pregnant
I’ve decided that all of these things have to be positive, ie "not getting winded from walking up the stairs" would be excluded. It isn’t something I’ll be doing, it’s the negative version of something I’m doing now.
10. Cracking my back.
9. Sleeping on my stomach.
8. Drinking a whole really good beer. Or […]

6 More Weeks of Winter? No Wait, That’s Not It
This will probably be my last post until 12/26 or 12/27. We leave tomorrow after work, driving to spend Christmas with Jill’s parents and visiting our friends Erin & Kevin and their kids. The plan is to drive ~half way tomorrow evening, and the rest of the way on Friday.
That’ll be my last travel […]

Second, get a little dehydrated.
Third, overdo it a little bit.
An evening at the mall during the week before Christmas is a good choice for overdoing it, especially since you’ll have to park far away from the entry, and you […]

The Political and the Personal
I’ve actually been so outraged by the news that the President authorized the NSA to conduct warrantless wiretaps of Americans that I haven’t been able to blog about it at all.
Isn’t it bad enough that there’s a secret court that would normally be responsible for authorizing those warrants? Or that the standard for getting […]

Class Was Good
While we have a few minor format/pedogical complaints about the childbirth class yesterday, on the whole, it was good.
The instructor was a Labor & Delivery Nurse at the hospital where we’re having our baby, and she has been doing that for 14 years and teaching this kind of class for 10. She mostly used […]

Grr. Crab. Crank. Fret.
You might have noticed that Typepad was totally F(@#$&d up yesterday. It claimed to me that it was showing a 2-day old version of the blog, but since the "most recent" entry showing was actually from 12/7, I think that was unrealistically optimistic. It still appears to have eaten my December booklist.
It also, at one […]
