A Pic of Me and My Man (and a bird)
For those who want to know how exponentially large 38 weeks can be on an relatively beefy *ahem* woman (that'd be me), I offer you proof in the form of a photograph:
(What I find particularly interesting is the horizontal S-curve shape my mouth has taken. How do you make your mouth into a horizontal S-curve? I tried in the mirror and was unable to replicate it.)
For those of you who want to know how exponentially crazy a pregnant wife can make your life, I offer you proof in the form of a photograph of Jay growing a mustache and goatee because I badgered him into it:
My rationale for this blackmail was that I have hair almost to my waist because he likes it long, therefore he can grow me some facial hair once in a while *snort chuckle*.
NO MATTER HOW BAD IT ITCHES.
(Note the cell phone plugged into his ear. I hate Ciena.)
February 12th can't come fast enough for most of my family, I think.
Last pic of is a bald eagle in one of our trees in the backyard. He's in the tree in the middle, all the way at the top, with his back to us:
Kids are all doing well, we have a birthday party to attend today, which is right down the road. Another couple of inches of snow last night, nothing major, but enough to cover up all the brown snow and dirt that the "thaw" has exposed. Covers up the ice, too.
By the way, in case you don't watch the news, Obama picked yet another tax-dodger for the White House (Tom Daschle "made a mistake" and didn't pay over $120,000 in taxes). Guess Geithner needed company. The shape of things to come? If I don't pay MY taxes, then I get in a lot of trouble. These guys don't pay their taxes, say "Sorry", and then are put in positions of power and influence. Am I missing something? (other than the obvious - that all politicians are corrupt...)

Feb. 18, 2009 - Tax dodging
The biggest triumph of our political system is how it has managed to make people think there's actually more than one head to the monster. So we all get to fight each other instead of figuring out what is actually good for the country.
And the parties jockey for political advantage instead of giving up the ego and the power (and the money that comes from all those lovely lobbyists, mmmm) and trying to come up with what works.
I was mightily irritated about Daschle, but I have to say at least I'm not waking up EVERY SINGLE DAY, reading the paper, and screeching in frustration at some bone-headed move by the POTUS to enrich his cronies, kill people, and despoil the earth.
