Wow, is it really that long since I posted? ack.
Well, last time I posted, I was afraid that Isaac would wake up barfing in the middle of the night, because he had complained of a tummyache. I'm pleased to report that he did not wake up barfing that night, or any other night since (*knock wood*). He has complained of pain in his tummy a few more times since, but it always seems to pass very quickly, so I don't know. I guess it's probably just gas or something.
As for me, I continued for quite a few days to feel mildly queasy every time I ate. It was really annoying. Then I had a bit of diarrhea one day and since then have been feeling okay again. I guess if that was my version of the virus that's going around (which I hear for some people can involve one day of vomiting followed by up to TEN days of diarrhea) then I'm okay with it!
Did my twitter from the last day of 2008 come through, where I talked about the books I read in '08? I set myself a goal for the year of 40, and read 43, so I'm pretty pleased. I'm going to go for 40 again this year, with a secondary goal of 50 if possible. I've already read 4 books in 2009 and am almost done with the fifth! go me!
(It helps that I now have a lengthy subway ride each morning and evening. Although sometimes much more lengthy than I would prefer -- like tonight when we sat in a station for 10 minutes and then were told to get off the train and had to wait for the next one. Ugh. The MBTA is just teh suck lately!)
I never got a chance to finish up posting about my new recipes in 2008, but uh, I made a bunch of 'em. Most importantly, I found a few that have/will become part of my permanent regular repertoire, which is great. And of course '08 was also the year I started baking my own bread, which continues to bring me a lot of satisfaction.
HEY! How about that big news event of the day yesterday?? President Obama! It still gives me chills! w00t.
Isaac apparently watched the inauguration at school, and his favorite part was "the pictures of the music," meaning the terrible hokey stock-footage of various American landmarks that they showed while Aretha was singing. LOL.
As for Ruthie, I asked her if she knows who Obama is, and she said yes. I said, oh, who is he, and she replied: "The CD!" I eventually figured out that she meant Libana, a musical group whose album "Night Passages" we listen to every night at bedtime. OMG LOL! :D
Oh so much more to post about...so little energy. this'll do for now.
