June 6th, 2006

It’s that day of days, 060606.  At least, in my neck of the woods.  So far, the world hasn’t ended.  Today is tomorrow, somewhere else, and today isn’t yet today, someotherwhere else.  Just for fun, I’m making my time stamp 0606.  It’s totally fake though.  It’s more like 21:47, but that’s not nearly so dramatic.

Of note.  Nothing.  Well, we went to dinner at an Asian buffet.  It’s breakfast, lunch, and dinner, here out West.  Not breakfast, dinner, and supper.  To my delight, they had kimchee.  Kimchi   However one spells it, I love it!  And never get it.  And haven’t made it in years.  Korean kraut.  How a fermented spicy cabbage dish could be so tasty, is beyond me.  It’s p’raps a cultural thang, what with my half-blood-princess genes and all.  Well, there are actually no princess genes that I know of, but I am a half breed.  Of that I am certain.  The food was quite decent, for an Asian buffet.  It’s always alarming to see the enormity of the average diner, though, in places like that.  There is much denial on my part as I pretend that I couldn’t possibly ever become like that.  Ever.  Ever   Ever.  Ahem.

I have yet to learn restraint.  It’s a shameful thing.

I now have a cough.  An annoying tickle in the throat.  A sharp, wheezing, annoying tickle.  It’s penance, I’m sure, for indulging in one, two, maybe three, or possibly even four of the seven deadly sins.  All for dining at an Asian buffet.  Was one of my many allergens lurking in one of the various delights I tasted   Or is it a lightning fast transference of toddler germs from a shared fork   I took two Benadryl, and am now hoping for the best.

Sigh…  Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming.  I would very much love to have a girl child.  Or another boy child.  I want my Mr. Snazzy Pants to grow up with at least one sibling.

Weeeell, far be it from me to point out the obvious but if you do it again tonight, you’ll always “know” the baby was conceived on 070606. Which is far better!

You and I must be synchronous…baby names are obsessing me at the momen, and I’m nowhere near pregnant!

Suse Says:

Because I so desperately want a girl, I know that if I get pregnant again it will be TWIN BOYS.

Can you imagine Five boys in one house

But I console myself with the fantasy that I would call them Kit and Pip and would dress them in lots of Peter Rabbit stuff and read them Beatrix Potter while they were still in utero. And make them wear little white socks with Christopher Robin style sandals. (Once they were OUT of utero. Duh).

sueeeus Says:

Ummmmm, MF… …I wasn’t actually able to cajole Mr. Gadget to get busy, so to speak, so there will be no conception of any such date. Like I said… …Dreaming! There’s more dreaming than active measures going on around here.

Suse, I can imagine five boys in one house. Yikes! But in your house Probably a breeze. You’d have a five part orchestra. Imagine it!

Sarah Ann Smith Says:

well…in my case getting ready to quit my job, have hubby retire, move across the US to a new community, and selling off the baby gear for the nearly four year old son did the trick… had to call the person who wanted to buy the portable crib and say…ooops….we’re gonna need it after all. And I had already sold the stroller and high chair. Sigh. Of course, by the time of kidlet number two you realize how fast the time flies and buy much less expensive, less nice stuff…as long as it wipes clean it’s good!

Good luck and sending white light (hmmm… wonder if I can conjure up an angel of the annunciation for you…) Sarah

The Bec Half Of Glamorouse Says:

Good luck with the immaculate conception! I empathise with the baby hunger. When my eldest was a bit over two it hit me very hard – finally resulting in the twins arriving when she was just over four… So I guess I’m empathising with Suse’s fantasy there too!

My last one was almost twenty eight years ago. Now I have discovered the joys of grandkids – not mine buy my room mate’s who have adopted me as their Grandma Darling. What is so nice is they get to go home.
I am sure if it is ment to happen another little one will be on it’s way – maybe it is just bidding it’s time for a little while.
