Growing a person

2009 was a zinger of a year! Perhaps some day I will blog about it (though more likely, I will write about it in a memoir and that will have to do).

But I am happy that the real development of the year kicked in in late June...during a heat wave...with my honey: I'm having a baby! And MAN! It's hard work.

So aside from occasionally wasting time on Facebook (because Wordscraper is addictive and poring over status updates helps me feel more social than I have the time or energy to actually be), I have been spending very little extra curricular time on the computer. I'm still dissertating and at work I feel like I am an appendage to my computer more than the other way around, so when I have precious moments for down time, I generally sleep. Or crochet (I finally finished the baby blanket I began for my godson when he was born. Sadly, he is now nearly eleven years old and has little use for it, so I'm passing it on to my Little Bunny Girl). Or eat.

At any rate, I have started a blog to chronicle the pre-baby experience. It's nice in theory, since in reality, I rarely post (last post was in November...though if I can convince Little Bunny to kick me some place less painful than my lower intestine, I might post something this morning). But it is THE place, aside from my Facebook updates, to find out how the whole growing-a-person and preparing to change my life completely experience is going for me. The site:
