This is just a quickie update since I'm in the midst of the annual Halloween chaos.
We're still working on figuring out the correct level of medication for the thyroid issues. I feel GREAT for about 3 weeks, then the energy level dips back down and everything else aches or itches. My doctor warned me that it would take a while to find a dosage that works for me, so I'm trying to be patient. And we ALL KNOW how patient I am. Right? RIGHT?????
Adam is crawling, has four teeth (with two more coming in) and has learned how to pull himself up. Elizabeth has been wonderful since he was born, putting up with an awful lot of "But Adam is just a baby." As he pulled himself up to the coffee table the other day and stood up proud and strong, Elizabeth looked at me and announced, "Mommy, he is NOT A BABY anymore. He is a BIG BOY."
So I guess we're officially done tolerating anything with a "baby" excuse attached to it.
Brian is back in jujitsu kicking some a$$ and getting his a$$ kicked. He's too cute for words, but don't tell him I said that because he'll say I'm blowing his macho-cool image. I've joined the SCA and am now a scribe. I'll be making scrolls using illuminated manuscripts as reference. I've wanted to do this for a long time and it gets me out of the house every few months. We attended our first SCA event over the weekend. I'll have pictures for you as soon as Brian uploads them.
And this. THIS is what I'm really looking forward to seeing. Yes, I know the costumes are not historically accurate, but you know what, this is a movie, and the designer is allowed to add a dramatic flair to the costuming. (Expect repros!)
Finally, how about a few recommendations?
Brian and I rented a great flick called "Little Children" with Kate Winslet.
Heidi Swanson has written one of the greatest vegetarian cookbooks I've ever found. We've tried several recipes and NONE are anything less than spectacular!
And, of course, my eco-friendly sister's blog. Chickie, you RAWK MY SAWKS.
