1. Hear doorbell ring. 2. Take too long deciding whether to answer it. 3. Put on bathrobe and go to door. 4. Realize it’s the mailman trying to deliver a signature required delivery. 5. Put on boots and chase mailtruck down the street. In the snow. Half naked. With neighbors and passing cars wondering what [...]

Sewer Rats IM Hockey Clip from Amy K on Vimeo. Thought I would enjoy watching a hockey game last night. Many of the guys I play with in rental play on an IM team, a team that I was supposed to join this season now that I have my very special university I.D. card. I [...]
Week 24
by Amy on 27. Jan, 2009 in Pregnancy
There isn’t much to report other than this: The news is about to be unleashed up here and I am preparing myself for the onslaught. Putting your hand on your stomach and feeling something hard there instead of soft flab is, well, weird. Baby seems to be using my bladder as a soccer ball. I [...]
Week 22 (23)
by Amy on 21. Jan, 2009 in Pregnancy
One book says I’m in my 23rd week. I’m 22 weeks and two days. So call it what you wish. Last week I bought my first gift for the baby (if you don’t count the prenatal vitamins and antacid pills).
One day
by Amy on 19. Jan, 2009 in My Every Day
Today is going to be one of those days when I stick the earbuds in my ears and pray I can make it through the day. In my office, the hate speech regarding Obama had died down a bit since the election, but now with the inauguration approaching, here we go again.

To Flip or Not to Flip?
by Amy on 16. Jan, 2009 in My Every Day
Aside from buying and paying way too fucking much for my iPhone back last Christmas, I haven’t bought much in terms of gadgets. Having said that, I don’t regret the iPhone purchase, because it’s been a complete lifesaver where my sanity is concerned, which isn’t saying much but whatever.

The weather here, like most of the Midwest, sucks. It’s freezing. Not just throw on a jacket and a pair of gloves freezing but dress in ten layers, wrap all skin so nothing is exposed and your eyelashes and nose freezes the moment you walk outside freezing. It is also possible that I’m just one [...]
When life gives you lemons, make these

Going to Pat’s house is like having a own culinary library at my finger at my disposal. She subscribes to numerous cooking and home mags. I love looking through the ones that I would never buy myself but have gorgeous pictures and occasionally, recipes I think are worth trying. This recipe is for the famed [...]
The baby apparently needs stuff
by Amy on 08. Jan, 2009 in Pregnancy
My family is having a small shower-type thing for me in about a month, so I’m putting together a baby registry. And unlike a wedding registry, where it was fairly easy to go through the store and wave the gun at things I liked, this has been a slightly frustrating and almost painful experience. As [...]
Overlook

Despite all of the outward signs, at times it’s easy for me to forget that I’m pregnant. This holiday season? Not so easy to forget, especially every time I had to pass on a glass of wine or a beer. Or look down at my breakfast and think, is that egg cooked enough? Should I [...]
