1. Last night I burned a pot of frozen peas. This isn't something I have ever done, or have ever come close to doing. Ever. How the hell do you burn peas, and in under 10 minutes? It seems to take a special kind of talent.
2. Also last night, though, discovered I had a fever, which might have affected the pea cooking.
3. Instead of peas, served leftover beans as side dish with leftover cubed steak. (It was a night of leftovers, a newly instated L-beam tradition in honor of Operation Spend Less.) Yet, somehow managed to serve both portioins of meal not entirely warmed through. Again, special kind of talent? Or fever. Either way, seem to have failed Microwaving 101.
4. Today, discovered that baby is apparently going bald. And she had such pretty hair, but I suppose it happens. All of a sudden the top of her head is fuzzed-only, while the back and sides remain fully grown in. Kind of like George Costanza.
5. Pondered possible breastfeeding-related infection, which seems to be behind the fever. Do not wish to discuss further details.
6. Dallied in crocheting again. Attempted to start coaster as another practice project. Completed approximately 1 3/4 rows before baby had a fit, which may or may not have been related to sudden onset of Infant Pattern Baldness.
7. Returned to Target, and... did buy some things, but only cleaning products, and only out of convenience. Dammit. Had to go back in order to retrieve aforementioned 60 missing pills.
8. Read a few more chapters of Harry Potter, which I started rereading, shamefully, over a month ago. Have never taken this long to blow through Harry Potter, but suppose I have a good excuse.
9. Half-interestedly watched some of ANTM marathon on VH1. Only thing on. Besides Project Runway marathon. But... have just seen all of these eps. Just biding time until PR2 season finale and start of ANTM Cycle 6.
10. Noticed exciting new commercials for the Surreal Life 6 and had to look up on web. This season will feature the Jeffersons guy, the lead singer of Smashmouth, a dude from Poison, another Playboy bunny, Mrs. Brady, a mystery reality "hunk" whom the other cast members will choose, and the rarely-mentioned Arquette sister. Or brother. Or sister. Alexis? Hmmm. Not sure which.
Tonight's plan: L-Beam Movie Night. Popcorn. Waiting for Guffman. Hopefully sleeping-baby-filled and fever free.

If it makes you feel any better, I ruined broccoli the other night. I didn't overcook it. I undercooked it. After lots and lots of careful attention to the water level in the pot, it came out all crunchy and raw and scary. Eeew.
we've changed her name to k-jak.
and maybe this is a sign we should stop eating vegetables all together.
Emery lost his hair exactly the same way. He looked like a 90-year-old man for a short while. As for the peas, it was a sign from God. No one should eat peas. No one.
Mel just turned me on to Waiting For Guffman the other night. It was hysterical.
you have to love anything by christopher guest. and any movie with a cross-eyed eugene levy.
matt, thank you for saying that your baby looked like a little old man, too. for some reason i thought baby hair came out in either small patches or all at once and was a little worried, like she might just be destined to look like dr. phil forever.
Claira started with bright blue eyes and as the months went by started to change to green. Now they are an olive green--I always wanted to have green eyes. Now, we cover the spectrum for eye color at our house: brown, blue, and green.
