I am grateful for podcasts. When I am at home with B all day long, the classical music starts to get old. I put on a podcast and - voila! Adult conversation. Very helpful while folding the laundry.

After this weekend I have decided two things:
*I want to find out more about my maternal grandmother, who is my namesake. She died when my mother was 9 and I realize I know nothing about her, not a story, not a preference, nothing. Other than her first names and her nickname - which is my given name.

*I could stand to be more fabulous. I love my jeans and tshirts, but I long for brighter colors, louder patterns and some beautiful jewelry. Being a nursing mother has necessitated certain wardrobe choices, and I do find my new shape and sizing to be a challenge [I am the size I was at 2 months pregnant, but my boobs are larger, even though I'm of a small frame, large boobie fitting clothes just hang poorly, sigh]. Still, it's time to choose to be a bit more flash, a bit more fabulous.

It has been pouring for days here. California needs the water so badly. So does my psyche and these grey wet days feel good.

I love rain too, it's so calming and refreshing.

I hear you on the lack of fabulousness of nursing-appropriate clothing. It's petty, but I'm dying for the day I can wear a nice bra and a cute shirt to work instead of a damn nursing tank. And what's with the way all my pre-pregnancy t-shirts seem to have lost a good 3 inches from the bottom? Somehow, I don't remember going around with my stomach always flapping in the wind.

I'm a big fan of podcasts... I listen to Speaking of Faith & This American Life weekly... both brilliant... I'm excited about the brewing changes in the springtide! Pád.

Adam and I are 90% certain that we're moving to Wales this fall.
