Mamas little helper

Inigo helped me put stamps on all the ABA bulletins I sent out today. The kid gets better and better.

Just because it’s funny

“So I Married an Axe Murderer” is one of my favourite movies, and then Inigo came out with a huge noggin, this is a scene that has been re-enacted often. Enjoy.

If you’ve got an hour

This might be interesting. It’s about a woman who works as a birth assistant and parenting coach in the poor areas of Chicago – specifically to teen mothers.

Welcome back, Ecto

And thank you to the adorable husbeast sys admin who has fixed my blog. After many months of not being able to use Ecto (my blog software of choice), IT’S NOW WORKING!

So now, I can post pictures effortlessly, I can even post from my iPhone, and my world is a beautiful place*.

Yay!

*Apart from all the horrible crap that is going on, of course.

Sally’s getting out!

Just had a call from Sally, she is being discharged right now, and will be sleeping in her own bed this evening. Yay!

Help?

So. Turning 40. Big party. Well, a party, anyway. Presents? I hope so! Not a lot, but 40 is a big deal for me.

Anyway, I thought I had a list, a list of stuff that I couldn’t justify buying for myself. And I’ve lost it.

So if you were turning 40, and you already had the gorgeous husband, kid and mixmaster (thanks mum!), what would you want?

I also already have a swift, a ball winder, blocking wires, knitpicks options, a terrific camera, and I only wear Crocs.

Ideas?

And this is why I am in two minds…

Of course, I want one. But I don’t have a job, so unless one of my grant applications comes through, it will mean months of saving, but still, I want one.

And then I read something like this, and am reminded that technology is a double edged sword.

Already, the two year old is scarily adept at the iPhone.

Kris posted a movie review a couple of weeks ago, and Mark and I decided that Kick Ass was an appropriate film to watch to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary. Yup, we were married on 04.04.04, so we have now been married approximately one million years.

And we still have the same taste in films. Thanks Kris!

P.S. Finally got to see Sally today, and she is in surprisingly good form – even sitting up in a chair for the first time since the accident. I brought her some quality caffeine, and some boring knitting, and promised to come back and see her again soon. Apparently her break is not a clean and simple one, so she might be in hospital for a few more days. She is very grateful for all the flowers and well wishes, and messages. She has read all the comments on my blog, and she loves youse all.
