Jane's Calamity: June 2006
http://janescalamity.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 30, 2006. Anyone out there working on a novel or similarly long and intimidating creative undertaking, take heed! I have discovered the formula for productivity:. 1 Get pregnant, preferably with more than one baby. 2 Go to an artist and writers' colony in rural Vermont for two weeks. 3 Add frequent rainshowers and thunderstorms. I don't have conversations with my gestating children! The fact is, they still just don't feel. Do I suffer from a horrible lack of imagination? And if I did talk to...

Here I make all kinds of big promises to myself and others, and totally renege. Is that how you spell renege? Do you think he'll reveal my strange addiction to chewy sugar (SweetTarts, Hot Tamales, Sprees)? And what do you think they'll make of it all? That her best will not be good enough for her children?

Just got back from an ultrasound / OB appointment, and am happy to report that both twins are still firmly head down (waaay down) and growing nicely. In the race to stretch their mother's uterus as much as fetally possible, Twin A, aka "The Bladder Banger" is in the lead, weighing in at approximately four and a half pounds, putting her squarely in the 50th percentile (for singletons!

You can't hide from your egg, Max .Rosemary Wells. Typing With a Fat Two Year Old On My Lap. Thank you for all your comments! It was such fun to log on today and find all these good wishes for both the birthday and the Rugrat (the latter being, I'm afraid, the way TTD and I refer to the daughter we hope finds us). Cyberspace has given me a lovely community- that would be YOU, reading this, so go buy yourself something nice and frivolous- and I am so grateful. I want to bite! If you are, or do, or have, I...

You can't hide from your egg, Max .Rosemary Wells. I am too incoherent, just in a general way, to do anything but make bullet points. Thus:. This house rocks. We can see stars at night, after years of pink town night skies. I know what quarter the moon is in all the time. A rose-breasted grossbeak hopped across our lawn yesterday (are we impressed with my birding yet? Thought I. Vindicated! I am very petty. The Nice Neurologist found I had a positive Babinski on the left, which means when he scratched th...

You can't hide from your egg, Max .Rosemary Wells. Laquo; Forty If She's A Day. A Day of Beginnings ». Come Up And See Our Etchings. Our cats like it here. They can settle into open, sunny windows like pencils into grooves and watch the cardinals on the bird feeders; they can lounge belly-up on the back porch and listen to voles rustling underground; they can make friends and invite them home for snacks. And it's this last which is worrying me. I need you down here. I froze. What if it sprayed? And snack...

You can't hide from your egg, Max .Rosemary Wells. Enormous Changes At The Last Minute. I'm not sure where the title came from, but I know it's from SOMEWHERE: a book chapter? Bonus points if you know; consider yourself smart. TTD seems to be OK with it too, I think because I was always the driving force behind this anyway, and because he harbored the same fears The Agency did. So we're all on the same page. Gallaudet (Bihari), David (TTD), Sparhawk (Rabbit) and Rowan (Urplet). July 02, 2007. In other ne...
