Self-Portraits

I charged my camera last night because I wanted to take pictures of HM and Gracie at the local carousel today. I took two pictures and the battery went dead and I was all sorts of upset because I thought the battery had lost its ability to hold a charge. And then I downloaded the pictures.

I downloaded a HUNDRED AND THIRTY-TWO PICTURES. One...

Tired

You know you are tired when you spray your perfume under your arms like it is deodorant.

Laundromat Quarters

Quarters are like gold for college students and people in their early 20s who don't have their own laundry machines. Seriously. Remember how pissed you were when you had to pay a dollar for four quarters so you could do your laundry? Or if you had to spend a quarter rather than a two dimes and a nickel to buy a soda?

HM used to eat anything and come back for seconds but the change happened in one day. She now reacts to a previously enjoyed food as if if she ate it, she would IMMEDIATELY DIE an excruciating...
[left]HM has been taking 4 or 5 steps alone for a long time, so on her pediatrician's recommendation, she got her first pair of walking shoes yesterday. They are real shoes, with laces and the hard soles that are supposed to help little ones find their balance and stability. They cost fifty dollars. Yes, you read that right. FIFTY...

My First Blogging Entry!

It seems like people are interested in my adventures with HM, so we'll see how the blogging thing goes! We're settling into our little log cabin in the woods, which is very, very rustic. We've got one bathroom, no bathtub (!), and cracks in the walls where the outdoor light peeks through. HM is now taking her baths in the...
