I had a dream last night where a doctor raped me. I got pregnant and then Noah forced me to get an abortion because it was unclear who the father was. I woke up very upset. 🙁

TMI – masturbation
It’s really really hard to find time to masturbate when you are dealing with a baby and a cat who is ridiculously clingy.
Good grief.
{milestones} First word?
This morning while holding a book Shanna looked up at me and said, “Booh”. I believe that was meant to be book. She continued saying it when we passed the book back and forth. I’m not 100% positive that she was doing it on purpose but I suspect she was.
I’m so excited I could pee my pants. My daughter’s first word was book. That is SO APPROPRIATE!!!
Socializing
Hey ya’ll! So Noah will be working all weekend. @#($)@ job. This means that Shanna and I will have an extra two days this week where we will be entertaining one another. This means I am soliciting livejournal at large saying, “Please God people someone must be available.” For fair warning: Shanna is teething and therefore clingy and somewhat whiny. As long as she is held constantly it’s not too bad, but uhm it’s a lot of contact.
Would anyone like to do anything? 🙂
Perspective
My neighbor (the one with a son six weeks older than Shanna) came over for a bit this morning. She’s having postpartum depression issues and she wanted to ask me for advice. It turns out that my impression of her thoughts about me were pretty far from the mark. She started telling me about all the ways she has taken my advice so far. She started telling me about how she “just isn’t as creative as [me]” which almost made me laugh. Me? Creative? She asked me what she should do to handle a few issues that are coming up with her son. She asked me how I deal with not having much of a mom in my life. It was interesting.
It was one of those things where I stopped and thought, “Hunh, maybe I should stop assuming people dislike me.”
Crunchification
Next Saturday we pick up our first CSA box. I’m pretty excited. I’m also trying to figure out how to get in on the Co-op for Organic Pastures which sells raw milk/cream/butter and beef. I’ve bought some of it from Whole Foods and the taste is so significantly better that I’m pretty shocked. I didn’t believe that I would notice or care. I’m not likely to go completely raw for all foods, but I’m impressed by the benefits of raw milk. Noah is at least mildly lactose intolerant so I think that the switch is certainly worthwhile for him. We’ve mostly moved to eating whole grain bread (but the potato bread is SO GOOD we get it sometimes anyway). Whole wheat pasta and brown rice are our standards at this point. We are getting organic/not from concentrate juices cause they taste better. The guy at Whole Foods talked me into trying the Omega 3 eggs. They are pretty good. At the very least we like the eggs from the farmers market. I don’t like the generic Safeway eggs anymore. This is all making me much more sensitive to the overpowering taste of most processed foods. They are pretty jarring. Sometimes that is fun, but sometimes it is just too much.
I find all of this kind of funny. How did I become this person?
This post makes my food icon a little more funny. Cause I tried it Sam-I-am and I liked it.
