I got about a week off from it, and now I am sick. Again. Along with both girls. Poor Audrey has it bad. So much snot and tears. I hope this garlic in my cheeks works. It’s a beautiful sunny/cloudy day and I wish I was outside right now. But it will be another long […]

walking
Posted in Audrey, Health and Fitness, tagged outside on February 19, 2013 | Comments Off on walking
In December, I became determined to get back into walking for exercise. But the weather was of course horrid for the most part, so I thought I’d take up the American sport of mall walking. We have a moderately sized indoor shopping mall in Kitsap, only a few minutes drive from Freya’s preschool. I dropped […]

Someday I will read books again. Someday I will write again, work again, go out for drinks again, go see a movie again. I’ll come back and read this and think wow, I sort of remember that time. Audrey is four weeks old today. She has entered a stage where she does not want to […]

It has been a perfect October so far, I hope that our indian summer holds out for two more weeks. Yesterday was positively balmy, the sun shining extra-bright from its position low in the sky. We went downtown to enjoy the weather in the afternoon, met up with Evan and Christina and let the two […]
body thing

I’m not pleased to learn that I’ve apparently gained ten pounds in the past year. Facebook reminded me of an update exactly one year ago, when I proudly crowed about being two pounds from my goal weight, which has always been about 120, and now I know I’m over 130, which on a short chick […]

I was out the door at 7:00 this morning for a quick jog. The sun was already fairly high in the sky, but the whole neighborhood was still, aside from the chirps of the birds who had been up for a couple of hours already. I haven’t run at all for a few weeks; Brian […]

I’m preparing Father’s Day dinner for Brian tonight since tomorrow night we’ll be at a cookout with my dad. So tonight, we are having slow-cooked barbecue pulled pork sandwiches, corn muffins, and homemade coleslaw. Dessert will be blackberry pie (not homemade, alas, but still pretty good). Tomorrow morning I will get up early to make […]

Dinner tonight: roasted yams and yukon gold potatoes, black beans with corn and onions, steamed rice, cheese, all rolled up into wheat tortillas. Freya will be having cheese, tortilla, yams and potatoes. She is still not a fan of beans, alas. Today was so freaking cold I wished I’d had my scarf when Freya and […]
