random musings: wow. kind of intense.
http://shinelikestars.blogspot.com/2008/10/wow-kind-of-intense.html
Thursday, October 02, 2008. Wow kind of intense. I just tried to make some oven-baked french fry-ish sort of potatoes. Did not go so well. Perhaps it is a message from the Lord about my possibly excessive love of potatoes. I turned on the oven to preheat while I peeled and sliced potatoes. As I finished, I realized it smelled funny in the kitchen. I opened the oven door to see what the deal was and there were FLAMES, like actual firey flames, in my oven. I think I yelled, "OH BALLS! Oh, uh, wow! And I am...

random musings: week in review, 10/15/08 (a day late)
http://shinelikestars.blogspot.com/2008/10/week-in-review-101508-day-late.html
Thursday, October 16, 2008. Week in review, 10/15/08 (a day late). Sorry this is a day late; things have been busy in our house this week! We had to give Elanor a bath in the kitchen sink because we were in the middle of re-painting and re-caulking the bathroom, so we couldn't use the bathtub all weekend. We dog-sat our friend Kim's dog, Fipo. He was really sweet and patient with Elanor, and she loved playing with him. Tomorrow morning, my eight-year-old nephew Zachary. OH I love the video! Please please...

Tuesday, October 28, 2008. See you at www.theleen.com! I've finally made the switch from Blogger to Wordpress. I've (obviously) been at Blogger for a very long time, but I'm excited to explore the new world of Wordpress. This means that if you've been using http:/ shinelikestars.blogspot.com to access my blog, it will no longer automatically direct you to my new url, www.theleen.com. Labels: I love the Internet.

random musings: February 2008
http://shinelikestars.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 29, 2008. I'm not really sure what to say about this, because I've already said. But I feel like I need to acknowledge it somehow anyway. This Sunday will mark one year since the miscarriage. In some ways, it feels like a lot longer - so much has happened in this past year. It's been on my mind a lot lately, not in an overly emotional way, necessarily. I've just been thinking about it, and how hard it was. And how dark the time. After the miscarriage was. So, yeah. What a year it's b...

http://shinelikestars.blogspot.com/2008/10/week-in-review-10808.html
Wednesday, October 08, 2008. Week in review, 10/8/08. A view of a train going under the overpass at Fisherman's Terminal while Elanor and I were walking. I love seeing the trains at the rail yard there and it was neat to stand right over it and watch it go along the tracks. On the Ballard Bridge. She fell asleep in her stroller while we were walking to do our errands after playgroup. Lotto, scratch, dog. (Why dog? Is this all some kind of random code language that I don't understand?

random musings: week in review, 10/1/08, and a special birthday shout-out
http://shinelikestars.blogspot.com/2008/10/week-in-review-10108.html
Wednesday, October 01, 2008. Week in review, 10/1/08, and a special birthday shout-out. At Fisherman's Terminal, while walking to pick up some things for my WAHM gig. Elanor laughs like crazy when I say "net shed" to her over and over again in a silly voice. In the Ergo, munching on the camera strap, looking beautiful and luminous in the natural light from the dining room window. Walking to Fiore. The trees were glowing with the sunlight, and they looked very dramatic against the dark grey sky. So, happy...

random musings: April 2008
http://shinelikestars.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 24, 2008. Like a ton of bricks. I give up. Exhaustion wins. (Well, this round, anyway.). I'm more exhausted right now than I have been in a very long time - or at least since I was pregnant. It's like everything caught up with me today: being back at work, not having had more than about four consecutive hours of sleep for probably about a six months between being pregnant and having a newborn, and the fact that Elanor hasn't slept well for the past several nights.

random musings: place your bets...
http://shinelikestars.blogspot.com/2008/10/place-your-bets.html
Friday, October 10, 2008. Elanor has always been, well, big for her age. We knew she was big. She has her nine-month checkup this afternoon (even though her nine-month birthday isn't until Tuesday.but that's a long story) and one of the things I'm most curious about is what she weighs and how tall she is. I know a lot of our family and friends are curious, too, so in the spirit of friendly competition and curiosity, I'm going to give a special prize (yes, something real! Here's a picture from last week&#...
