What's Amusing Me

I love Gmail’s new themes. This one called Terminal reminds me of the bad old days of playing games in the computer lab at school. It also looks a little Matrix-ish. Our long-time readers might remember a version of Juvin.com designed in this style. One of you commented it was hard to read 
I agree. After about a minute of using this theme in my Gmail I changed to something white and much more readable.
I found this article about a food columnist with an abysmal kitchen very entertaining. Back when we moved from apartment to apartment, our kitchens were even smaller than his 7×8 space, and I complained endlessly about them, but I cooked a lot! At one point I was making pizza regularly, from the dough on up, and this was before I got my KitchenAid mixer
I just sent Kevin this interview with Will Wright, creator of SimCity, The Sims, and Spore, which the kids have been playing non-stop. Quiz time: which of the following things does Kevin have in common with Will Wright? 1) enjoys reading about stuff more than actually buying them, 2) buys Russian-y gadgets from people named Alexei, or 3) likes to play with power tools? If you answered all of the above, you are correct!

The nursery currently looks like this. No flooring yet. At my doctor’s appointment yesterday, I was told it’s still going to be a little while. I guess the baby is waiting for Daddy to install the flooring in her room.
Meanwhile, here are some seeds that I’m sprouting in my kitchen window: bell peppers, jalapenos, tomatoes, cantaloupe, and corn. They’re all growing like crazy, especially the corn. It’s as if the seeds can feel spring just outside the window. I’ll need to transplant them outside very soon, just not sure where yet. There is no spot safe from Daisy in the backyard. She likes to eat plants, vomit, then lick up the vomit. I wish I were joking.
I would consider planting them in the front yard, but our nosy neighbors (the ones that steal flowers off my rose bushes) have an unhealthy interest in everything we grow in our front yard, and if they see crops growing, I suspect they’ll either steal the fruits of my labor or report us to city hall.
Other than the delight of seeing my crops growing I have little reason to like spring. Right now I have a giant wad of tissues stopping up my nostrils because they won’t stop bleeding, and the reason they’re bleeding is because I’ve been taking Sudafed nonstop, and the reason I’ve been taking Sudafed is because I can’t take Claritin, and the reason I wish I could take Claritin is because my allergies are driving me INSANE.
By the way, here’s a picture of the belly. It’s not a video, but it’s more bare skin than I’ve shown in a while…
… and here’s a picture of Kevin getting some fun in before the baby comes. He didn’t get shot until several matches into his day, which is quite good considering this is his first time paintballing.
I’m officially out of the office as of the 24th whether or not the baby comes, and Kevin’s starting paternity leave as of the 25th. Yay! That’s only 9 more days for me and 10 more days for him!
