I am so sad– Glenna and Allan are closing The Yoga Bar. :( I had really hoped things would work out– but I am sure since they both have jobs in addition to running things there, it was just too overwhelming. At least Glenna tried, though– that took so much courage. I have much respect and admiration for her.
Max is now cutting TWO teeth! He’s pretty uncomfy, but is doing well, all things considered.
It has been a strange week. Josh is working nights, and so is home sleeping during the day. It kind of casts a surreal hue on everything because things are the-same-but-not-the-same.
I need to go buy a pumpkin first thing tomorrow morning so I can get it carved! I can’t believe Halloween is already tomorrow. This year has flown by… We are just staying home this year; we weren’t invited to any parties and of course haunted houses and such would be difficult with the baby. It is always neat to see the trick-or-treaters and their costumes, though. I hope that parents let their kids go out– so many people are scared these days.
Max is cutting his first tooth. I think it’s almost as painful for me as it is for him. On the up side, I am building some mighty big muscles as a result of carrying him around for hours on end.
Lots of new pics to post… maybe I’ll get that done on Sunday. We’re off to Hilltop for a weekend with Josh’s family. Max is so cranky from being in pain– I just hope he will be able to sleep in the car; otherwise it will be a very long trip.
I should rename this website “All About Max.” Now that I’m not working, he is pretty much my whole life.
Max just rolled from front to back! =) I’m so very proud.
Max is rolling over all the time now (back to front), but gets very frustrated because he can’t roll front to back once he gets there. He will get the hang of it soon, I am sure.
I’m hungry. Max is asleep in my lap. I fear that if I move, he will wake up…
We saw Serendipity yesterday… we were actually going to see Hearts in Atlantis, but we left the house late and so had a change of plans. It was good– Josh even liked it. =)
The leaving-the-house-for-the-first-time-without-Max thing went all right. Max was tired yesterday, so Beverly had a pretty easy time with him. I was very ready to get home by the end of the movie! I doubt Max even noticed that anything was different.
We are seeing a movie tomorrow for the first time in over three months. We are also leaving the house without Max for the very first time– Grandma Beverly is babysitting. It would be a lie if I said I weren’t apprehensive… but I know it’s a step I need to take. We will have a good time, and Max will be in good hands. I guess it’s just separation anxiety.
I knew better than to buy any Halloween candy early… heh. It’s gone already. =)
Serendipity or Hearts in Atlantis? Secretly, I would SO much rather see Serendipity, but Josh really wants to see HiA. I am a huge John Cusack fan, and the theatre showing S is much closer than the one showing HiA. Josh says HiA is a longer movie (more bang for the buck?), and thinks S will be the same ol’ romantic comedy with a different title. HiA does have Anthony Hopkins, and is a King story, so I’m sure it will still be good. I will most likely put my preferences aside and see HiA. Who am I kidding? Of course I will… I always do.
For the past two nights, Max has fussed in the middle of the night– not crying, not babbling, just fussing– but when I go in to check on him, he is asleep. Nightmares? I don’t know what to think.
Mr. Monkey seems very anxious–happy–frantic–bubbly–quasi-euphoric lately. I am glad and hopeful for him. E.D. said that hope “is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul.” I imagine that would tickle, so I’ll have hope sit on my shoulder, instead.
Life is getting busy and somewhat chaotic again. Chaos, chaos go away, come again some other day. This is nothing compared to how things would be if I were working. I am thankful that things worked out as they did.
I should sleep now. Have to get up in the morning and clean the kitchen. Should have done it this evening, but I am lazy.
Max is back to not sleeping much during the day again… by some miracle he is asleep right now, so I’m trying very hard to be quiet.
I’ve been feeling tweaky lately… very restless. There is too much going on in my head, and my body does not have the energy to reciprocate.
MUST FORCE MYSELF to do yoga every day. I feel so much better when I do….yet I avoid it. What’s up with that?
We had such a good time at Dayscape yesterday– I didn’t realize how much I missed everyone! Max only got fussy once (evil hiccups), and otherwise was his calm, curious, happy self. We saw tons of ppl that we hadn’t seen in over a year, and heard some real music. =) Pics here. It was a perfect day to be in the park with friends.
Soooooo tired… must sleep. Before I crash, here are some recent pics of Max since I haven’t posted any in a while!
Storms… big storms. Thunder stomping around making windows rattle; lightning ripping open the sky to momentarily expose the grey light of some other world; rain, rain, rain– leaving nothing untouched, leaving nothing dry. The air is almost clean– even rain like this can’t scour the city out of the air. That might be impossible. Nothing smells like the mountains of Colorado after rain. I think that’s the only air that’s really fit to breathe.
Another week gone. It’s going too fast. I don’t know how to slow it down. There’s something faulty with my time perception center… I need a new chip or something. A patch, maybe. Better hardware, you say? Where do I get it?
Crackmonkey gave Josh The Procrastinator’s Handbook for his birthday (was going to link it, but…Amazon is down! WTF? That’s just not right.). I’m over halfway through, and I swear that it was written specifically for me. My habits are on every page, my life drips from every chapter. Ironically, Josh (aka Mr. Procrastination) has not started reading yet. Truthfully, I think he will skim it, and perhaps even read a chapter or two, but will not finish it. He rarely finishes books that aren’t completely captivating science fiction novels…. but that’s another tangent. One of the exercises in the book is to list 101 things you’ve been putting off. I’m still building my list, but oooooh, it’s filling out quite nicely. It’s kind of scary. Mr. Monkey Pants suggested that I post it… probably so he can ICQ me incessantly with messages like, “Haven’t you finished #54 yet? LOSER!!” Since I’m a willing target, I’m going to post my Giant List of Things I Have Not Yet Done (forevermore to be known as the GLOTIHNYD) here (with a permanent link to the left). May you all enjoy mocking my procrastinatory tendencies.
I am smitten with Pacific Chai from ThinkGeek. It’s more addictive than oxygen, and better than sleep. I would gladly give up chocolate for an endless supply of the stuff— and that’s a very bold statement for a person such as myself. If you had the special spout attached to your cpu, I’d turn you into an addict, too.
I should sleep. Tomorrow is Dayscape. I’d better plan on wearing something I can get nice ‘n muddy.
