Thanks for all your compliments on the crib. We got the mattress and put a mattress pad and Winnie the Pooh sheet on it. It looks pretty cute.

I feel like I'm in a holding pattern right now. I did a search for due date statistics and found a bell curve with the due date (40 weeks) at the peak. I guess that doesn't tell me much. We'll see if I've progressed any further, dilation-wise, at my Friday appointment.

My SIL got me an awesome muumuu at Kmart. It has these brightly colored vertical stripes and is really kitschy. I love it. I'm wearing it right now because it's actually a little chilly (I've been hot for the entire pregnancy. I think pg women must be 5-10 degrees hotter than the rest of you).

Also am digging the food mysteries of Joanne Fluke. Although there are so many recipes in each one, she should probably publish a cookbook in addition to fiction! Also liked Emily Giffin's newest book.

That's all for now.

I need to read Emily Giffin's newest - I did pick up Stephenie Meyer's new book, "The Host," and really, really liked it! The final book in the Twilight series comes out in August...

There's a few authors like Joanne Fluke out... mixing meals and mystery in the book. those are good day reads (in that they only take a day [or just a few hours] to read). Dick Francis is good in that regard too, though he doesn't give recipes in his books. Which is a good thing, as his books usually circle around the horse racing world. Glue Stew, anyone?Roast Horse on the Hoof?

I think Fluke does have a cookbook. I think I read something about it on her website.

Yeah, I'm glad he's staying clear of the recipes.

I checked out her website again...no cookbook. She does have a recipe index, though.

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...
