We are sticking around.


Wow, foggy this morning where I am... definitely a hint of fall in the air. I'm not sick of my summer clothes yet but I'm STILL sick of my spring/fall clothes
We are going to Eugene on Sunday for Todd's sister's birthday, then coming back up the coast on Tuesday, since we didn't get to go last weekend for Ruby's birthday.

I would think, basically forever, but it might say for sure on the side of the bottle.

I'm glad that he's invigorating so many people, and I sure hope he wins, but it was just another democrat speech for me. I really hope that this very historic election creates a domino effect, and that future elections become exponentially more diverse, perhaps even resulting in some party diversity.
Yeah, I felt like a real heel last night when Lauren and I were talking about it, and she said her husband is voting green. I'd love to be able to do that, but there is just way too much at stake this time around. Way too much.

And I do remember someone telling me during the 2000 election that the more people who vote green, the better chance it has of actually becoming a party that might have a fighting chance during an election. So yeah, I have found myself torn for the past two, and now this one too.

Here's hoping. : I can't get over how many people don't pay attention and just make crazy assumptions about things. And those people would be my relatives, or at least some of them. I've learned to leave both religion and politics out of our conversations, and that's how we get along these days.

And wow! Already? I'd help if my back wasn't still... sort of on the cusp of feeling better. Been resting it and doing the exercises and it's feeling a little better every day!

I've had brown potatoes before. Not really a big deal.

It's always extra special to start twice in one month, though.

no idea what cream of tarter comes from or if its an alelrgen for you, but its supposed to stop the browning....not sure if it will stop it overnight - and also not sure if you have to have it in the water or if you can just sprinkle it on the potatoes ...but might be worth a try.

This is very curious... so I have always thought I must have had very long cycles because Ruby went to 42 weeks. Lily wasn't showing any signs of budging when she was induced out at 40 weeks... so I wonder... hm.

Well, you'd think so. But there are so many people who don't REALLY pay attention when it comes to politics.

Good luck tomorrow! Let me know when you are ready for the table. Playdate next week??

You've never charted before? It's possible your cycles have changed, either due to pregnancy or weight fluctuations or just aging...

Would this be considered a blue moon?

Yes, next week would be great! I have to re-organize my entire house, but can easily take the other table down to put in this one. one question before you bring it over... is it sturdy enough to put a clip on seat to it? (for a 30 lb kid to sit in?) if not, i'll have to buy a new seating option for ruby.. so it may not be a good time for me to get another table.

Oh, I also want to get my exersaucer back from you if chase is done with it. I could come in handy in the new office for babes that need distraction while mama/daddy is on the table. :

Nope. Never really needed to. I figured I must have had long cycles after Ru came along because of the postdates.

I am wondering if things are regulating more because of the flaxseed. I've been eating it for the first two weeks of my cycle, and have noticed that things are really happening every 4 weeks now.

So far all the write-ups I've seen about Palin have highlighted just how extreme conservative she is. Plus, Clinton all but said that any of her supporters who voted for McCain were idiots.
I have been wondering/hoping that it backfires on him. Many people who vote Republican are die hard religous people who do not believe in woman's rights. So I am thinking some of his backers might get a bit POed that he choice a woman? KWIM?

I just read the most awful, horrible thing. Craving chocolate, or anything for that matter, means you are allergic to it. I have read that before.. but I hoped it wasn't true. :

We aren't doing anything this weekend. Probably just cleaning.

Oh.. and I went to the Hannah Outlet today and got a "Wind at your Back Annarak (sp) for $25 for Bre!! : Of course I just looked at their website and it doesn't look like they sell them anymore.
