So I'm starting to feel more like myself. My stitches are starting to heal and hopefully I'll be able to go for a walk soon. I'm a bit bored because I have no books currently (and there are 10 waiting for me at the library!) but my SIL is going to try to pick some of them up for me today. It must be 100 outside.

Baby continues to be adorable (he's wearing my Chicks Dig Me onesie, with two small chicks, as in baby hens).

Oh, Bearette, you gave birth just in time. Can you imagine being pregnant through this heat?! Blurg.

I'm glad your stitches are healing, although sorry you needed any in the first place.

And that onesie sounds adorable. :) :) :)

I'm glad to hear all is going well and you will be getting your books. Cooped up with no books is a very bad thing. LOL

It is! Fortunately, D got me some. And the library books are still waiting.

Uhhh... first I read about the pain and now STITCHES?!?!?! Maybe I don't need to have children... maybe you can have one for me??

I know. It's a bitch. But it is worth it in the end. Just get an epidural when you do - the breathing only works until the contractions intensify. And not everybody needs to get stitches, fortunately.

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.

The return of Rudolph

Rudolph is our small furry friend, whom I've never seen. He visited the kitchen last night while D was up late. I know this because: 1) A large sonic device is plugged in right in front of the crack between the oven and the wall. The sonic devices in the living room have kept Rudolph away from there, his previous hideaway. Apparently the cracks between appliances and the wall are harder to reach. 2) The mop has been moved from the hall closet to the kitchen closet. This means D tried to capture Rudolph. 3) A turtle magnet I haven't seen in a while is now on the fridge. That means it fell behind the oven and D found it during his interactions with Rudolph. (I am praying hard that Rudolph is a boy, since we don't want to find many small Rudolphs.) What makes me feel better about this whole thing is that mice are apparently everywhere this winter; even my brother has had problems with them. And this little guy seems to stay behind the oven and only appears around 4 am (only D
