Wow, you like the shoes!

That was quite a response yesterday. Thanks! It’s fun to hear from you.

My internet shy neighbor and I were talking on the phone last night, and I asked her if the shoes were cute, even though I knew they weren’t her style (she’s extremely conservative, fashion-wise). She paused a moment, and said that they looked well made. I had a very good laugh over that, and Nate and I continued laughing about it the rest of the night. It was so her.

I’m almost done with the second clog, but it is extremely dark and rainy out, so there’s no way I’m getting a picture, and I don’t even want to try. I am hoping to get them into the washing machine today.

I’m still sick. I don’t know what’s up with that. Monday and Tuesday I felt I was recovering, but yesterday and today I have a lot of stomach pain and nausea, even though I’m not throwing up. And I am able to eat, I just don’t want to.

Lame.

This is what? Week number 3 of someone in the family being sick such that no one can do anything? I can’t go out.

So I’m sort of knitting, but really, I’m spending the bulk of my down time working on Veronica’s scrapbook. She’s giddy, and it’s really cute.

If you recall, she’s the only one that up until this week, hasn’t had a scrapbook.

So I’m spending a lot of time immersed in hospital/baby photos, and it is making me so baby hungry I can’t stand it. I’m glad my little one is only 3 months away (13 weeks to due date). On the one hand, it’s freaky that we’re this close and we’re so not ready, but on the other hand, I want to hold my baby!

    Well, at least I serve to be of some amusement to you while you’re feeling yucky. Glad if you got a few chuckles from my response.

    your neighbor’s reaction reminds me of my mother’s reaction when I first brought home my husband (we were just dating at the time). “He seems like a good person” but in the tone of voice that implied that was about it – that the long haired, bearded, ripped jeans wearing, junky car driving, hippy was never going to amount to a hill of beans. Of course 30 years later the tone of voice was proved completely wrong and the “he seems like a good person” is still true

    What? Only 13 weeks away? Frack me! I have to get knitting!

    I’m sorry that you’re still feeling so poorly! I really hope you start to feel better soon! Can’t wait to see/hear Veronica’s scrapbook.

    And I like the shoes too.

    I had the same illness on Tuesday. I was still feeling sick the next day until my husband bought me some electrolytes to drink (think Gatorade). Dehydration creeps up on you and can cause nausea, stomach cramps, dizziness, etc.
