Yeah, yeah

I know -- it's been a long time. And I don't even have much of an excuse for not posting once in a while. Okay, yeah, I've been busy with family. And I've been writing. And editing. And page-proofing. And sleeping.

Since the last time I was here, we celebrated the kiddo's birthday (sort of -- he was in a different state) and our anniversary. Twenty-nine years! Can you believe it? (For the marriage. Twenty-eight for the kiddo.)

And fabulous news -- we found out I'm going to be something besides a year older in October: the kiddo and d-i-l are expecting! Is that too cool?? I love babies. Love 'em even more when I get to send them home with someone else. I'm hoping hoping HOPING for a granddaughter, someone cute and cuddly and sweet whom I can dress in frilly little dresses and lacy socks and hats -- at least, until she's old enough to take them off and run around naked.

D-I-L was -- is -- a really girly girl, so I figure any daughter of hers will probably be the tomboy to kick the asses of all tomboys. She's having a great time with morning sickness. I never had any problem with it myself, except when I ate really spicy foods in the last few months (wonder if that's got anything to do with why the kiddo has such a sensitive palate ;-) but I'm sympathetic to her.

Hey, wouldn't it be too great if they have twins? Identical granddaughters -- too cool! Rachel6:34 PM
