Learning to accept how I have changed.
Thursday, May 29th, 2008
I am a perpetual list maker. I love lists. I have several different books of lists, each with its own theme. I have a book filled with lists of items to pack for various trips I’ve taken over the years. Another one for craft projects I’d like to work on (and have completed), and most [...]
Wendy 3 | Target 0
Friday, May 23rd, 2008
Our first big adventure to Target was a success!
1) Isadora slept the entire time we were shopping. Not a single fuss.
2) She didn’t dirty her diaper until we got home. Yay!
3) I got 10% off nearly my entire purchase.
You see, I received a coupon for 10% of anything that was on my baby registry so [...]
Miscellaneous Updates
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008
1) I gave birth 8 days ago and I already lost “the baby weight.” I weigh three pound less than my pre-pregnancy weight yet, I still look like I am 5 months pregnant.
2) The Baby Bjorn = Freedom. Why didn’t I think of this before? It took me two hours to sort half the [...]

On Dad-ness.
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008
Everyone told me my whole life was about to change. It’s as if I was about to drop acid or joining the military. How should one prepare for the unexpected?
Although no lightning struck from the heavens (even if it appears it has in the picture of Isadora rising from out of the womb), every day [...]
A Peanut By Any Other Name
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008
I’m pleased to announce that everyone we’ve heard back from has loved the name Isadora Elliott Harris.
The only criticism leveled was that Elliott is a boy’s name, and it only came, ironically, from my friend Keith. Keith is also the name of Rick McKay’s longtime friend and bassist Mark’s wife. And she, the woman Keith, [...]
I’m a lucky girl.
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008
I haven’t had a proper shower in a week. I’ve been wearing the same nightgown for two days, and I’m starting to smell like onions. And yet, my husband still tells me I’m the most beautiful woman in the world.
Introductions
Monday, May 19th, 2008
The cats adjusted quickly to their new roommate. They were a little peeved at first when they were dethroned from the changing table/crib by Isadora the Beautiful. It’s pretty nice; they almost never get in the crib if she is in there.
Kirby is very curious and was the braver of the two. He walked [...]

but really damn cute!
Rest in peace, dear Murphy
Sunday, May 18th, 2008
Murphy lived in the basement of our apartment building. He spent his lazy days hanging out in the courtyard garden, and he loved to visit with people while they were doing their laundry. I noticed last year that he really started to look old and it was breaking my heart. His eyes were smoky and [...]
