About Me

. . .

My Interests

A strong hankering for paint, in all shapes and sizes. Making pots and filling it with lively things. A slight tetris obsession. A fansination of with the enormous size of my cat's ears. And finding ways to nuzzel deeper into my lover's hair.

I'd like to meet:

billy goats. Lots of them.

Music:



Television:

A fucking black hole. An unblinking, wallowing pupil which consumes the attention even when off by it's simple presence. I'm just not a fan. I lie. I have a slight obsessive disorder for Sopranos.

Books:


My Blog

drink more Stout.

Today was Elah's one month check up. She's a kicking, squirming thing with massive cheeks on the baby scale when my doc asks,"Are you drinking Stout?""Stout?" I'm wondering if there's a kind of 'Stout...

Birth. . . and c-section free

C-section was the ongoing topic during my labor. There was all sorts of complications, but though the line was close, I was able to avoid serious abdominal surgery. It began on Monday, October 29th, w...

37 weeks= 3 weeks til D day

October 26th if anyone has forgotten (which is very likely). Friday I'll be at 37 weeks, and which is exciting because should I go into labor early, nobody is going to be giving me drugs to stop the c...

30 weeks, that means well within the 7 month

It doesn't seem like much time left now. But somehow it's still quite a stretch. The little girl is active. She likes to attack/play with my false ribs, but only on the right side. She doesn't much se...

I awoke this morning to a wonderful (shudder) sing-a-long from my husband and step-child in the tune of 'happy birthday':but replaced with "happy four months Cletus the Fetus". The first trimester has...

Hi I'm pregnant.

Apparently the plumbing does work! Who knew? I thought is a valient experiment. . . can Leah Powell bear life? Or am I indeed a barren fruit? Got my answer, and somehow the grace of God has spared me ...

Anal Sacs and your cat

The Valentine's Day was looking good until 8 pm. Jeremiah made me an experimental dinner which turned out awesome. As we're munching on cayote and yukka root, we can't help but notice Higgins' new lit...

My rating of marriage: The institution, the glory, the babymaker.

It's been two months of married life, to the day.  And at first,  I found it difficult to say 'my husband'. I kept thinking I had no right to because I wasn't my mental image of a mid-40's w...
