Random stuff, boring update

I made homemade pizza last night. There's just nothing better than fresh homemade crust. I actually made the dough a day in advance and it blew up all over the fridge (that's some potent yeast!) so I had a ton left over. I'm considering the possibility of pigs in a blanket tonight. Mmm... ghetto-naughty.

I was on the Colleen & the Boys show last Wednesday talking about Silver Bay, MN on the Wackytown segment. They've got it online now and I'm kind of horrified about how much of a giggling idiot I sound like when I'm nervous. To everyone who has ever told me I have a good radio voice: WTF?

I've had a horrible cold all week. The baby is taking up so much room that I can only fit in about 1/8 cup of food in my stomach at any given time and still feel like it's all going to come back up if I move wrong. I have to pee about every 30 seconds now. I can't get comfortable enough to sleep at night. All of these things together make for a very cranky PPC.

The good news is that we're going to Duluth this weekend. I'm going to try not to think about the 2.5 hour ride up there.

We are out of toilet paper. This should be an interesting blizzard.

This blog post wasn't nearly as interesting as I'd hoped. My life is way boring now that I'm too preggo to actually do anything.

I'm 8 months pregnant and have a cold. How do you think I feel?

Everyone I pass in the hall: "How are you feeling?"
Me: "I'm feeling like I want to punch the next person who asks me that question in the face."

Free speech

Johann Hari - Archive:

Last week, I wrote an article defending free speech for everyone – and in response there have been riots, death threats, and the arrest of an editor who published the article.

...

All people deserve respect, but not all ideas do. I don't respect the idea that a man was born of a virgin, walked on water and rose from the dead. I don't respect the idea that we should follow a "Prophet" who at the age of 53 had sex with a nine-year old girl, and ordered the murder of whole villages of Jews because they wouldn't follow him. I don't respect the idea that the West Bank was handed to Jews by God and the Palestinians should be bombed or bullied into surrendering it. I don't respect the idea that we may have lived before as goats, and could live again as woodlice…. When you demand "respect", you are demanding we lie to you. I have too much real respect for you as a human being to engage in that charade.

That's the most intelligently written thing I've read in a long time.

Well, this is enlightening. I guess Lily will be getting the birds and the bees talk at age 10.

Bets on how long this "couple" will last?

My awesome Husband

I was surprised to find Husband home from work when I got home yesterday. He brought me into Lily's room and showed me what his afternoon project was. There was our newly assembled crib decked out with a brand-spankin' new sheet set. The man even got the dust ruffle. Awesome!

And lo, the events of my bad day were melted.

We took the car down to Burnsville AGAIN to try and fix the problem AGAIN. No dice. We have one last resort before we either have to ditch the thing or get a new tranny. We did our taxes, were disappointed by the outcome of that, and went to dinner with my parents.

I missed House. Oh well. But I took another look at Lily's crib when we got home and felt better again. Yay!

I haven't written in a while

I got nothin'. But look at this:
