I got a little excited today. You see, I burned all my size 6 jeans once I gained 47 lbs during pregnancy. I figured they would never fit again. (I actually gave them to Salvation Army.)

But today I bought a pair of size 6 jeans because the 8s were falling off. That was a good feeling.



And here are some cute pics of E with my Brooklyn friend's boy-child, also named E:

When i first learned that word (in 3rd grade, from reading), I pronounced it with a hard g because I thought it *had* to be pronounced differently from "jeans" ;)

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.

Eat, knit and be happy

As the teacher put it, "Everyone walks out a knitter." I had my doubts at first, because the Internet instructions weren...

The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.
