Observations from the last few days

It is always a strange relief to me to discover that someone else has/does precisely the same weird brain tricks I do. Which is good, because I have a bunch of them.

Our backyard holds quite a decent barbecue, even without midgets, stilts, costumes, or illicit fire. We should do that more often.

If you're combining breastfeeding and bottlefeeding, how do you know when your child needs to go up to the faster-flow bottle nipples? Oh, YOU'LL know. Trust me.

Natalie travels alarmingly well. I think she is most happy when being worn in a carrier, facing out, so that she can see lots of new people (who inevitably look her in the eyes and make big exciting faces). That said, damn, I am very happy to finally be home for a while after traveling for three weeks. Now I can finally start answering email again.

Why is it that when I *don't* have my camera, beautiful photo opportunities keep cropping up?

I have a good life with good people in it. The large ones are awesome, and even the very small ones are excellent. I wish I had more time to write about things I've been thinking, actually, but I suppose it could be worse.

cameras prevent photogenicity, same way umbrellas prevent rain. i'm planning on spending money i don't have to get a camera to carry all the time. this way, i'll be sure my life will be unencumbered by beauty and inspiration.

Aww, you can't just TALK about those things! They have to be closely guarded secrets.

drop hints! drop hints! ;)

i admit an unusual curiosity, 'cause i happened to mention something similar to dïe überblönde a few days ago, and it turns we have similar amusing dysfunctions.

Looking forward to more pictures of Miss N. :)

Hope you all are enjoying the gorgeous early-summer weather (I'm assuming that it's not too far off from what we're having here.)

Thanks for the diet coke/Mentos link, by the way...hilarious!

Yeah, what sort of weird brain tricks? Those of us with some of our own are curious!

upon reflection, it's clear what you mean, but i admit i found myself pausing to wonder whether i would normally count as a "large" or a "small" person. as well as the more mysterious, difficult question of why larger correlates to better.

unfair to the short!

i'm with you there.

Oh! Oops. You are definitely in the 'large' category, despite being small. Large people, as a class, have more developed and obvious personalities and require less constant maintenance than do very small ones.
