My Interests

As the mother of a 7 month old and halfway through my second pregnancy my interests are modest. I really like taking a shower. I like going out to eat because I don't have to cook or do dishes (both of those things make me want to hurl). The best part of my day is rocking Evelyn to sleep at night.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet some stay at home moms in Renton.

Music:

Right now the only music I listen to is the Judy Rodgers CD I have in for Evelyn. Radio stations don't seem to come in around here.

Movies:

Run Lola Run, Drop Dead Fred, Benny and Joon, Amelie, Boondock Saints, Danny Deckchair, Fried Green Tomatoes, How to make an American Quilt, Closer, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, UHF, etc.

Television:

Lost, Make me a supermodel (don't ask why I started watching THAT show), HGTV, John and Kate plus 8, Top Chef.

Books:

I will read ANYTHING. I especially like to read while I am eating. That didn't go over well with my parents when I was younger, but we eventually reached an understanding. Most of my books do have soup stains on them though. A few top picks are The Long Walk by Slavomir Rawicz, In the Heart of the Sea by Nathaniel Philbrick (His book Sea of Glory is also good), The Great Starvation Experiment by Todd Tucker, Shadow Divers by Robert Kurson, and anything by Jon Krakauer.

Heroes:

My family.

Expecting

That's right, I am a mom-to-be.  Expecting.  In a family way.  Preggers.  In July.  Any votes on boy or girl?

In Loving Memory of Lickity Split

I recently found out that our beloved childhood waterslide (that term may be over-generous, but ditch doesn't have the same ring to it) is gone.  I can only suppose that it had to do wi...

Unusual Taste

Beaver Dams and the Heart, part 2

There is a point to posting Uncle Jim's article (besides the obvious advertising for the Almanac.)  I think that the concept is worth exploring.  Do we sometimes behave like beavers when it ...

My beautiful moment

I watched the sun rise this morning from the window at work.  To be more accurate, I watched the sunlight reflecting off the clouds.  It is a better view of the parking garage than the horiz...
