we had wanted to do something grand, but we were afraid of the weather (which is totally unlike us). In the end, we decided to drive down to where BAGD and I used to live, years before the big kids were born. Back then, it was just him, me, Stinky and Gus (the cats). We [...]

That my grocery store, for some inane reason, does not put the flour right next to the sugar. And I forget that every time. So, I wonder around the aisle looking for the flour, which is on the bottom shelf of course, so I never see it, as I walk around the “Baking Needs” aisle [...]

I believe they call today P.O. Day 2, post operative day 2. Either way, today is Friday and we delivered Wednesday afternoon. I am waiting for BAGD to wake up so we can go get the baby. She slept in the nursery last night and I took a sleeping pill, trying to get more than [...]

Hello, I had a baby yesterday! I future-posted a bunch of stuff to fill in the gaps while I was out of commission, but this is a real one. Typed live from the hospital. The other things you will see over the next few days were typed weeks ago and are really not indicative of [...]
