Ok, so it was a while ago and I forgot, but I can still play, right?  Here's 7 random things you may or may not know:

1. I always wanted to be a surgeon.  Or a nurse, or something else in the medical field.  I found out exactly how much school I would have to endure to get there and I promptly abandoned my medical ambitions.   But then God gave me kids.  I am now a 24 hour nurse-on-call, only I don't have to have any formal training and I can pass off the big stuff to the pediatrician/ER.  Best of both worlds!  I think.

2. I love to cook/bake, but I can't leave any recipe as it is.  I think it's some kind of disorder and I'm sure it has some kind of scientific name by now.  It's not that I don't like other people's recipes,  I just have to change/add/omit something to make it my own.  Or to make it healthier; which brings me to my next random fact...

3. I'm a closet health-food nut.  I consistently have a supply of quinoa, flax, millett, cracked wheat, and at least 4 kinds of whole grain flours in my refrigerator.  I add them to everything I make trying to make things healthier.  And I grate/puree vegetables into anything I think I can get away with without hearing too many complaints - desserts included.

4. I'm a comedian in disguise.  A really, really good disguise.

5. I once had 8 body peircings. A long time ago in a land far, far away...

6.  I wish I knew how to dance salsa.

7.  Sometimes I still listen to Amy Grant.  And I like it.  Don't tell anyone.

 

 

 

Yesterday we gave our boy his first real haircut.  Of course he's had a few trims before -when his hair gets so long and eyesight-obsructive that I find myself brushing my own hair behind my ears when I talk to him.  Yesterday though was the real thing.  I almost cried when it was done; he looks so much older and grown up.  I found myself doing double-takes for the next three hours when I would see him run through the house.  I'm used to it now, but I can't wait for his curls to grow back.

 

I was referring to the sweater in the caption above, although I understand if you confused it for my baby model. :)

Now, I don't usually do any type of endorsing or advertising on my blog, but my friend Annetta stopped by today and brought me this hand-knit newborn hoodie for Elizabeth.  I adore it!  She's going to start knitting and selling them for anyone interested.  Just thought I'd give you a little sample,  More on these soon...

I'm not quite as invincible as I feel. I felt great, so I went back to the gym. I did the bike for just a half-hour and some really light weights. That was on Monday; my joints are still aching in protest today. Oh well, I guesss the gym will have to wait another week or so. Until then - South Beach Diet, here I come! Can't wait to start wearing normal clothes again.

Kate: Start blogging soon, I'm gonna need you on this one!

Thank you for my flowers, they were beauitful!!
