Okay, vee proceed. But only if there is no funny stuff.

Hello there, peeps. This is one of those posts where I come here and chat about whatever real fast because I know there’s at least 2 or 3 of you that check here every day and I hate disappointing you.
Hmm. Let’s see. What’s been going on? Ooh! How about some updates!
I quit that fruity yoga class. I know! I’m so lame! But it turned out that due to a couple of things I didn’t consider at the time, I was going to have to miss 3 of the 6 classes, and they were really strict about showing up every time. So I told a small fib about child care and got most of the fee credited to my account for more yoga. But also, the book we were supposed to be reading was SO BARFY. The worst kind of poorly written hippie drivel. And this is not my inner midwestern republican talking, this is me, the lefty-cloth diapering-baby food making-HIPPIE. It was bad.
Did I mention the running? I don’t remember. But I think it’s safe to say, now that I’ve been doing it for almost two months, that um, I’ve been running. This is pretty monumental for me, because I’ve never been a runner. But I’ve decided I’d like to be, and even though it SUUU-HUUUCKS some times, I would like to cultivate myself into a running-type person. In the spirit of my predictable over-achieving nature, I’ve registered for the Seattle Rock and Roll Half Marathon in June. Sometimes, when I think about running three times as far as I am capable now, I get the Nervous Tummy, but then I remember I can just walk whenever I want to, and who cares?
Clark is the coolest. I can’t believe how much fun he’s getting to be. He is a genius and can say the following words:
Hi
Bye Bye
Mama
Dada
Hot
Vroom
Cheese
Banana
Hop
Birdie
Quack
Cracker
Tree
Apple
Shoes
Moo
Up
We have a list going on the chalk board in the kitchen. His new trick for the week is nodding yes, which is super cute and also useful.
Ooh! This weekend we’re going to San Diego with another fun couple and leaving the boy with his grannie. It’s a great time of year for good deals on flights and hotels, and about a month ago, we all kind of spontaneously just booked it. I’m really excited, though since I sometimes like to fret just to fret, I’m now thinking we shouldn’t be spending money and that I am going to miss my Clarkie. I will get over it, I’m sure.

Lovely photo & Safe travels (& many fun times) in San Diego!!

p.s. There are lots of democrats & other non-republicans in the midwest…Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, & Illinois were among the blue states in the midwest in 2008. And..I do believe there are Republicans everywhere..even in the west & especially in the east.
Just sayin’
Love to you.

Lucy: Thanks and thanks!
Colleen: The book was: http://www.amazon.com/Will-Not-Die-Unlived-Life/dp/1573241016/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1267580541&sr=8-1-spell
Dahli: Oh my goodness, I guess in my mind, “mid-western” refers to typically conservative people, but I meant no offence. You are one of the most actively political people I know and I admire your serious Dem cred!

Leah: He says Nana and sometimes Nanana. Aren’t their word the cutest thing in the world? I think the best thing he says is “hot”. It’s just so funny when I put his dinner on his tray andhe starts chirping, “Hot! Hot!” Or when you’re trying to wash his face or hands and he doesn’t want you to, “Hot! Hot!”
