elfin massacre

this morning i woke to the following crime scene:

the victim:

the suspect:

baked with hate

ok. thats a little extreme. not hate exactly but...resent? minor annoyance? aggrievance? (what a great word). more like: these better be fucking appreciated. what am i talking about? my self imposed tradition of holiday cookie baking...thats what im talking about. anyway its taking way too long this year. and im way behind and nobody is going to get them by xmas and are they even worth it? when all is packed and paid and shipped and broken into little stale cookie bits? and i can hear the complaints already: no white chocolate chip macadamia nuts? (no dad, nobody else likes those. especially me) but im allergic to walnuts (actually no walnuts were used this year lee. serious) these chocolate chip cookies are too flat (yes, yes they are. i failed to adjust for altitude this year. sorry). what the fuck are these? (oh--biggest mistake of the season: 7 layer "magic bars". sucky mess. will not repeat ever)... ugh. im 9 months pregnant here people give me a break. oh speaking of pregnant. last night i had heart burn so bad i woke up coughing and choking i went into the bathroom and coughed so hard i threw up into the sink. serves me right tho. i ate half a calzone for dinner at like 7:30-8pm. half a calzone with pepperoni sausage mushrooms onions jalopenos and pineapple. see i discovered the secret to sleeping is to have "dinner" at around 4. and then maybe a little snack at night of yogurt or something. but god i love pepperoni. well, i gotta go dip shortbread in chocolate....with love with love

none

hello computer. and computer people. well, wednesday was the end of what will be my last semester for a long while. and as usual i had the end of the semester crash--what now? oh yeah, wash all those baby clothes with dreft, and read about attachment parenting and breastfeeding...
i am alone again, since the saturday after thanksgiving. god, tomorrow makes two weeks. the husband is training in minneapolis for his new airline job. with the economy as is, we decided it was more important for him to take the job, even if it meant leaving me alone in my ninth month of pregnancy...some of that sentence needs to be in all caps im sure. part of me is all boo hoo poor me, and part of me is all woo hoo yippee. its kind of nice to have some alone time. like this will be it for a while im sure.
oh it looks like were moving to memphis...choices being memphis or detroit. minneapolis wasnt offered, and it was the one we were hoping for. anyone out there care to weigh in on memphis/detroit?
