Hope is the thing with feathers
Tonight we spring forward which makes me very happy. Spring is trying to come, I know it. I think even the rain we're getting today will just help the flowers to come and the leaves to pop. That is what I hope.
...And that's why I need more toilet paper.
So late last week I had this great idea: I will turn the remaining 3 months before my 40th birthday into a boot camp of sorts and sculpt my body so that when I turn 40 I will be ripped, cut, and amazing. I couldn't help it, I was hyped-up by the return of Biggest Loser after the long Winter Olympics hiatus, I'd had a little too much enjoyment from my peanut butter cookie Larabar, and I had recently seen a picture of 42-year-old Halle Berry in her underwear
Little things
I can't believe another week has flown by...lickety-split. Last I knew it was Sunday and I was thinking how quickly the weekend went by and how I could feel Menacing Monday lurking around the corner.

Still in bed
Well, after how well I was feeling Wednesday night and Thursday morning, I thought for sure this would be a quick recovery. But I stayed home again today because I still not feeling well. More cramping today and pain at the two incision sites. But DH did say I was looking much better today than yesterday. And staying home means I get to skip out on the baby shower at work. So it's a win all around I guess.
field trip Wednesday: Monday morning jazz
(or, Bears Who Love Jazz) we had our field trip early this week. every Monday morning, Ellington's Cafe has live jazz. the whole family went with our friend/next door neighbour/Asa's godfather, Grahame. it was especially good to have Lee see some live music because he spends so much time playing piano every day.

I mean, he grows out of clothes so quickly and we have lots of hand-me-down digs and toys and really? Does he need another adorable sumthin' sumthin'?
