 Tuesday, October 31, 2006. I like to think I have a sense of humour, despite the fact that I think Napoleon Dynamite is one of the funniest movies ever, which probably indicates that my sense of humour has never developed past that of a 12 year old. But you know, my crazy zoo cats, mongrel of a mutt and hunka hunka burning love of a husband, along with plenty of buffoonery and banter are the spice of my life. Iâ ll even admit to the comicalness that can be found in the fact that I have put on 6lbs in t...

Rockstar Baby Nateâ s First Movie. Â Saturday, December 30, 2006. Nate is doing absolutely marvelous. My champion nurser is back up to his original birth weight of 6lbs 11oz after dropping down to 6lbs while in the hospital. He still has a bit of jaundice, but itâ s getting better each day, especially with his mini sky gazing/window seat tan sessions next to a natural light source. For now, we wait for Mr. Carrot Skin to become Caucasian once again. Permanent link to this entry. Feeling the softness of y...

 Tuesday, May 31, 2005. I need some comic relief in my life right now. These past few days have been intense! Let me tell you about my weekend refrigerator extravaganza. Two weeks ago, while my. Was visiting, our dinner went to the crapper because my stupid fridge froze everything. (Ok. Only my. Dinner suffered. Everyone else who ate MEAT had a hearty BBQ meal consisting of burgers and various meat. My carrots and lettuce froze). Fast forward one week. They are piss warm! Whatâ s going on? We were in an...

 Thursday, April 27, 2006. I feel compelled to share a recent bout of my â perfectionism/receipt keeping issuesâ . We are in the middle of a mini bathroom renovation. The tile installers are here now, diligently grouting up my bathroom floor and ridding me of the linoleum monstrosity that, if I didnâ t know our house was only 22 years old, would have sworn was circa 1960. Itâ s old and gross. It's All About Me. Permanent link to this entry. Because it felt right.  Tuesday, April 18, 2006. We shared an ...

 Wednesday, July 26, 2006. Sometimes I wonder how I am going to deal with sticky fingers, spilt milk and rotten food items under the sofa cushions when my in-utero baby enters the kingdom of toddlerhood and mastering the fork. I have a tendency to like un-child proofed things. Actually, add un-animal proofed things to that. Oh, and letâ s not forget my suede place mats. Who in the world has kids and suede place mats? Iâ m just not sure how Iâ m going to feel about discovering rotting chicken fingers beh...

 Friday, October 28, 2005. I have often wondered what it would be like to be famous. What would it be like to have people immediately recognize me when I entered a room full of strangers? How would I react if I saw a twinkle of familiarity in someoneâ s eye as they watched me pass on by, or if I received a friendly wink of recognition or even a warm hearty wave from a stranger expressing their hellos? To all the employees at The Home Depot, thank you. Thank you for helping me understand that I. I know I...

A Run to Remember. Â Saturday, September 24, 2005. Weâ re home, weâ re pumped, and weâ re still standing. The run was absolutely fantastic. Weâ re still basking in the glow of our accomplishments, and buzzing from the euphoria of running 10km (6.2 miles) in 55 minutes. We crossed the finish line, hand in hand, and that was the perfect ending to a run that meant so much to my husband and I. More pictures will follow later on when I get them, but I just wanted to share this photo of us before the run.

 Wednesday, November 30, 2005. Christmas has always left me with a warm and fuzzy feeling. Something about the season just brought a feeling of peace and contentment like no other time of the year. Itâ s a time to rejoice with family, share special gifts, decorate a giant tree and indulge in goodies and hot chocolate until the waist band on our pants tells us to stop. Putting up the tree this year was difficult. Despite powerful memories and feelings of isolation and sadness without Ava here to shar...

 Thursday, September 16, 2010. There is something so entirely intriguing about the nature of elephants. Not only do they have wicked memories, but they cry and play. Even laugh. Their wrinkles are not only a part of them, but expected. They grieve the loss of a stillborn baby, or a family member. They are triumphant in their grandeur and absolutely stunning to just sit back and absorb, and take photo or two. Permanent link to this entry. September 16, 2010. September 19, 2010. All in the Family.

My baby has limbs! Â Tuesday, June 27, 2006. I went for a Nuchal Translucency Screening test yesterday, which is basically a fancy word for an ultrasound that helps assess a babyâ s risk for Down syndrome, chromosomal abnormalities and other major congenital heart problems. Permanent link to this entry. Â Monday, June 19, 2006. I seriously canâ t believe how much faster my commodious gestating holding tank of a body is progressing with this pregnancy. But this is freaking ridiculous. My mood is crusty an...
