Tiredness trumps hunger

So I was returning from a veggie burger excursion tonight (D is at a family thing out-of-state) and I got the urge for something sweet. The dilemma was:

1) a square of carrot cake from the corner grocer

or

2) fat-free Edy's Fruit Bar (a popsicle, really) from my freezer.

The popsicle won, because the carrot cake would have required me to walk an extra block.

D and I saw Baby Mama on Friday (no movie would be complete without a guy in the ticket line yelling, "Better hope you won't deliver in the theater, huh?"), but remarks from random morons aside, it was quite enjoyable. Although I must admit the video featured in the movie (no clips were shown, thankfully) gave me pause. The video was entitled: "Extreme Delivery!!" and showed mothers delivering 15-lb infants.

15 pounds! No way. E will be teensy-weensy in comparison.

And as part of my constant fruit craving, I've been eating those Edy's whole fruit bars every night (strawberry is the current favorite). An offer of carrot cake might give me pause, though. :)

Strawberry is my favorite, too! For some reason the tangerine flavor has high fructose corn syrup, even though the strawberry doesn't.

Oh, it was really just sheer laziness. It's hard to drag my belly around ;)

I know! I am hoping and praying! My hunch is that he'll be 9 lbs and change like me and my brother.

We saw Baby Mama this weekend too! I liked it. It's been a while since I've seen a comedy in a theater. I complain that the story lines are ridiculously predictable, but what I've forgotten is how fun it is when the audience is into it :)

Rich and his siblings were all 9-10 lbs. at birth :( I'm really hoping that big-baby gene doesn't get passed down to our kids.

I wish I had your resolve to eat the fruit bar. I totally would've walked down to the corner ;)

Thanks so much for your kind words and advice on my law/grad school post. I wrote a response. =)

Not related to your blog post but I think you need an etsy shop! If you don't have one already that is...
But your knitted stuff is SO cute and etsy is for handmade stuff only! Plus they have a section for people to post for things they want made so you could sell your already made stuff or even custom make things!
Just FYI...

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t...

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.

Eventful

A lot has happened today already. I went to meet D for lunch and along the way I spotted a Boston terrier -- one blue eye, one brown. I stooped to pat it and then I heard an ear-bruising screech!! Everyone's head whipped around. Even the dog jumped. A taxi had squealed to a halt and there was a delivery boy on its hood. Somebody yelled, "Call an ambulance!" The boy seemed fine, even hopping on his bike to finish his deliveries -- but everyone persuaded him to stay. I took out my cell phone but another woman was already giving details to 911. After the woman finished the call, I was satisfied that help was on its way, so I continued. There were a bunch of rubberneckers/supporters gathered around the boy, so he wasn't alone. The dog stayed too. I was shaken by this, of course, but then something amusing happened. A few blocks later, I knelt down to pat a beagle tied outside a coffee shop, and it let loose with this big mournful howl: AROOOO. Everyone smiled, including a...
