February is over!
Posted: March 1, 2010 Filed under: All's Well That Ends Well, Brothers Karamazov, War and Peace 3 CommentsWe really had a miserable month, and I’m so glad February is over. How can such a short month feel so long?
Good things that happened: surviving, going to California for a friend’s wedding, and throwing a mustache party for the Bwun’s first birthday (pictures forthcoming).
Our trip to California was extremely short, but we took some pictures at the Oakland temple so we could prove we were having fun. See?
The view from the balcony. Foggy and cold!
I think we're getting older. I don't look 14 anymore. (Good!)
The temple. Overcast.
Not that you care, but I love my yellow shoes.
And my tip-toe spring outfit.
The oh-so-happy couple coming out of the temple. Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Andaluz!
I think this is a camellia? Anyone?
We were seated near the cake at the reception, but not in a good picture-taking position, and this is the best I was able to get while trying to keep the Bwun from grabbing the camera, my food, the candles, my glass of water...
It was a very enjoyable trip for the Romgi and I, although I think it would have felt more like a vacation if it had been longer than 30 hours. We were impressed with how the Bwun did on the plane – he mostly just flirted (quite shamelessly) with the stewardess on the way there, and tried to look out the window on the way back. Not too bad.
As for the mustache party, I had Quentin take pictures with his nice camera, and I’m waiting to get copies. In the meantime, please compare these pictures of Ron Swanson from Parks & Recreation and the Romgi with his mustache.

More posts soon, I promise! Now that I’m not sick and finally have working internet again, I should be writing at least every other day.

Posted: February 7, 2010 Filed under: All's Well That Ends Well 1 CommentIt’s been a long, rough week. Last Saturday I went to the ER with an ear infection (and lest you think me ridiculous for going, I thought my ear hurt every bit as much as the almost-ready-to-push contractions, except without any pauses. And it was my ear, face, and neck instead of my middle.) and haven’t been able to hear much in my left ear since then. I’ve been exhausted, partially from the medication, partially because I’m still fighting a bad cold, and partially because I have a small child, so despite being back at home for most of the week I haven’t found the energy to write.
Yesterday I hosted a baby shower for my neighbor.
I decided I don’t really enjoy baby showers.
It went well: I made some amazingly cool cupcakes (but forgot my camera, so I’ll post pictures when I get them from my neighbor), came up with two great games, and crafted favors that turned out surprisingly well. Also I made an alligator stamp. It is super cool.
But I’m not a take-charge sort of person, or a comfortable-in-large-groups-of-strangers sort of person, so it was awkward for me to try directing and organizing a bunch of women. I mostly just wanted to go home and sleep.
This coming Saturday, I’m hosting another baby shower.
It will be much better, I hope.
The Bwun is crying in his crib. It doesn’t sound like he’ll give up anytime soon. Maybe it’s time to go get him and see if he’ll take a bottle of warm milk – I even added some Hershey’s syrup. He likes cow milk during the day, but at night just wants to nurse. So far weaning seems like way more trouble than it’s worth.
Anyway, here’s a nice gift idea if you need one!

(I’m not expecting, but at some point I do want to have a girl; this is on sale and I love it. Even if you hate it, you could be nice and buy it for me!)
