hi!! sorry i’ve been MIA. since i left my desk job, i kind of forgot about this space. not sitting in front of a computer for most of the day has changed my lifestyle quite a bit. like, what are people eating, watching, wearing these days? i haven’t the foggiest.
but, i’m bursting with news that i’d like to put down somewhere — it’s fun to go back and read it later, ya know?
so, excuse me, katie, for copying your format, but here’s a skeleton update on where i am:
reading: not much other than the papers (ny times, washington post) excited about: baby #2! yup, i’m pregnant! this time, the little guy came out of nowhere, so i feel a million times grateful to the universe for not having to go through the monthly sadness of negative pregnancy tests. also, we are moving to the suburbs. inside the beltway, so inside that the residents will go on and on about how it’s got all the urban amenities, but, seriously, it’s the suburbs. creating: um, a baby. wondering: if my rah rah rah upbeat attitude is pregnancy hormones, or a mindset shift due to quitting a soul-sucking career path. who cares, i’m here to tell you that having a good attitude feels pretty damn great. listening to: lullabies, as i write this. watching: sons of anarchy. SAMCRO! craving: mangoes with salt and chile sauce. noticing: sean and i have it really great — the income and career loss hasn’t been that bad at all. btw, that photo above? kind of bummed me out at first because 1) i am wearing one of those tankini i-have-a-mom-belly bathing suits, and 2) why do i still have a belly 14 months after giving birth?? because i was preggo in that photo but had no idea at the time. now, i love this photo. also, no more public pools!! we have a pool at the new house. you are all welcome to come over next summer!
