Hard Boiled

This is how an egg should NOT look when you are 'hard boiling' it. I have tried to call both sisters to discover if an egg is hard boiled when either:
A. It floats
B. It turns over
C. It changes color
D. It explodes

Obviously I chose D, because it was the most exciting choice.

I needed to know this because I'm making dinner. (yes it's kind of an event) I'm making potato ham salad stuff It tastes good, I had to try it so I knew weather to make a meatloaf in case it wasn't good enough to serve my husband.

What would you choose if you were hard boiling an egg?

Yeah for Omeletts

I never thought that omelettes could make a day so WONDERFUL! but they do. You should try it. Jimmy and I went 'out' for the first time since we got married yesterday. We took Claire, who slept through it (because it was the FIRST time I'm sure). It was sooo wonderful. I forget what else happened yesterday but it was good.

Stuffing Her Face

Claire has discovered her 'teeth'. She doesn't have any real ones but she chooses to chew on EVERYTHING! We really do need to baby-proof the house now.

A New Year

Things I plan to do in this new year:
1. Take the wallpaper off the wall in my bedroom (I started yesterday and this might indeed take me all year to achieve)
2. Take a bubble bath (sometime)
3. Go OUT to dinner with my husband (to somewhere that doesn't have paper napkins) (my husband and I don't go OUT, and he has never taken me anywhere that has paper napkins, except my mom's house) (he made me write that)
4. Travel to see my oldest, dearest sister before she leaves the country (I hope I have to do this soon)
5. Travel to see my younger, lovelyer (is that a word) sister (I hope I have some time to do this one)
6. Fly
7. Ride a pony at my Grandmother's house
8. Lose 20 lbs

Mobile (and not my phone)

I'm amused lately by the smallest things, probably because I never leave the house. But today I got a good look at Claire's newest form of movement. She can turn herself while lying on her back. I wasn't sure how she did it before but today I watched her do it. She kicks her feet up in the air so she's a 90 degree angle then she falls over to her side. Then she straightens her legs out.. don't ask me how it works but it does. It's slow going but it's just enough to make her 'mobile' for the first time... scary.

Naked in the Bathtub

You know those pictures your mom took of you 'naked in the bathtub'? and you said to yourself, 'why would she do something like that?' and 'isn't she supposed to be watching me so I don't drown, when does she have time to take pictures?' Well today I realized why my mom took those pictures. There is something about naked babies that makes you want to take their picture. I took Claire's first 'naked in the bathtub' pictures today. I  thought about posting them but I am close enough to those of you who ask all those questions that I will spare her the embarrassment of having naked pictures of herself posted on the internet. So smile, no one is taking 'naked in the bathtub pictures of you anymore!
