1.A/C- My air conditioning unit is out at the house. I’m hoteling it and appreciate the fact we have somewhere comfortable to lay our heads at night. Especially with baby girl. Which leads me to #2….

2. Watching my baby girl sleep, or eat, or smile…. pretty much her… in general.

3.My husband. Although we all get cranky with stress, he made sure we got into this hotel, has argued with the various companies and sat all day in a hot house. <3

@ charlotte – I have such big dreams of future library days! My mother was a children’s librarian and I get wait to get my little guy into reading and into the library.

@ erosan – Man, you have really bad garden luck. =(

@ Monika – Back at you! I want pictures! Full scale! I’d love to see everything you’re growing and what it all looks like all laid out, pleeeease?? =D

@ sara thomas – Packages in the mail is seriously one of my greatest pleasures in life, ha!

@ Kathryn – I know, isn’t that picture the sweetest? I hope everything works out for you and your health, and you’re able to get the treatment you need (and quickly). Also, WOW awesome co-workers!

@ Court – My own 2 cents: Last time I went raw I didn’t have a dehydrator and I was like “yeah whatever dehydrator-shmidrator, you don’t really need one!”, which is of course true, but . . . OHMIGOD this time going raw I have a dehydrator and it is SO MUCH BETTER. Being raw this time around is easy and fun and filling and honestly, I don’t feel like I’m doing anything out of the ordinary at all. By which I mean, I don’t miss *anything* and I don’t feel like I’m sacrificing *anything*. And I definitely did not feel this way last time, and I totally think the difference is the dehydrator. Just my input!

@ Gail Johnson – Yay! <3 you guys! =)

@ Kristin - Ask and ye shall receive! =D

@ Nicole – Actually, I totally agree with you. We’ve used it very infrequently, but we’ve definitely used traditional pain relievers. I know it’s a totally personal choice and I certainly don’t judge anyone. For me, there is a cut-off point where pain relief is more important than potential chemical side affects. I think that point is probably just in a different place for each parent. But anyways, yes, I agree with you!

@ Kathryn – Man, those didn’t work for us!

@ Alina S. – Sounds like a great weekend. =)

@ Liz – Woo-hoo Rooster!!! That’s great to hear!
