sihayadesigns-- Yesterday, J and I got up early (well, early for us on a Sunday), and drove into Federal Hill for breakfast at Sam's Bagels. Sausage, egg, and cheese on and Old Bay bagel = DIVINE. We walked around my old neighborhood, down to Locust Point and back, before we had to go to my mom's for Easter Dinner. But it was warm and sunny and I could smell the flowering trees and GOD I MISS SOUTH BALTIMORE SO MUCH.
-- Conversation after dinner:
Mom: I wish I had a grandchild to do Easter egg hunts with.
Me: Five years, mom.
Mom: Four! You said when you turn 30.
Me: I said we'd talk about it when I turn 30.
Mom: But you did say four. And I want a grandchild.
Me: Mom, you can't bully my uterus. Go ask Matt. He still has one working testicle. That should get the job done.
Deana (Matt's gf): NO.
-- My husband is the biggest house chores hypocrite in existence. For instance, he uncharacteristically cleaned the kitchen last week. Never mind his dirty socks were still on the floor, his little stubbly-bits were still decorating the bathroom counter, and he'd put off taking out trash for almost a week. But whatever. He cleaned the kitchen and ran the dishwasher. While the dishwasher was running, I had a glass of water and put my finished glass in the sink. At which J promptly Virgo-freaked "why didn't you just put it directly into the dishwasher? THE HORRORS OF A SINGLE GLASS WHICH HELD WATER IN MY CLEAN SINK."
So. This weekend, I did a little experiment.
I did a load of dishes on Thursday night, but did not unload them. Anytime I used a dish, I manually washed it and put it away. ...by last night, not only was the sink FULL, but he'd also left dishes on the kitchen table.
Jason Page, I am ONTO YOU.
--Beandaughter's eyes are looking better. There's a clearness I haven't seen in a long while, even though her third eyelids are still up. But they're not red! And also, she is running around and playing in a way I haven't seen since Squeakerdoodle was still with us. She's pouncing Mim and everything.
