Random Thoughts
Boo was born in a Houston hospital while we were living in Sugar Land, TX. Even though it’s going to get slammed by Hurricane Ike, Sugar Land is not under mandatory evacuation. Apparantly their hurricane plan is to “hunker down.” I’m glad we’re not stationed there right now.

Why are girls so complicated? What’s with all the drama? Why can’t they just grunt and nod at each other like boys?

Prejudice hurts.

Why are all my pregnant friends and family having boys? I have so many patterns for cute baby girl hats and I don’t get to use any of them!

Pumpkin Girl’s ballet shoes cost me $25 this year. She’d better not outgrow them before the recital in June! The owner of her dance studio fit her himself and he recommended the slightly bigger size, then tightened them up for her. He’s been doing this for 25 years, so hopefully he knows what he’s doing.

I made zucchini bread today. The recipe was for 2 loaves, but I only have one loaf pan. So I poured the whole batter into one square baking pan and made zucchini bread cake. We’ve already eaten 3/4 of it.
I won’t tell you how much we spent on ballet clothes this year, including two pairs of shoes, because I don’t want you to have a small heart attack. I will also not tell you how much it costs us a month for her to take ballet six days a week (until Nutcracker, then we’re back to four). All this to say, I believe I am now considered a patron of the arts. I’m not sure how long it will take me to get over the sticker shock, but I am glad we can give her this opportunity.
I dislike prejudice too. Come check out my blog
