Minutia

Lucy finger painted for the first time today! She especially liked making hand prints across the page. I remember from somewhere (babysitting? school?) that a drop of soap in the paint makes it easier to clean up and it worked well.

I bought an exercise band yesterday to strengthen my knees for a less painful run. The band came with a pilates DVD. I failed miserably at pilates in college but will try again. My friend Meredith tried to encourage me to cross train once by saying dancing counts. So when my sister is here next month we are going to learn that sassy Beyonce dance from the Put a Ring On It video (don't laugh!). Anyone tried it?

We still have not heard from the PhD program and all sorts of drama is going on concerning it. I don't want to talk about it now, so you can ask if you want to know :(

And I am terrible these days about Yahoo! Answers-- it is addicting, giving half unsolicited advice. I love answering the pregnancy and religion questions (it is a good way to simultaneously and anonymously take out my frustration with hot headed atheists and offer breastfeeding tips). Two Strings and a Can is weird, and I think I am the only sober person who participates, but is also fun. I came across that by googling "asdfjkl;" and then going to asdfjkl;.com .... too much time on my hands the last few days!
