On Saturday night, we had Tyler and Laura over for dinner. After dinner, we watched Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog, a spoofy, pithy, laugh-out-loud mini-musical with a surprisingly serious ending. Written during the massive Writer's Strike in 2009 (?) (Why did I capitalize writer's strike?), it originally was available for free online, but now you can buy it in iTunes or watch it via Netflix. It really is sad it isn't a full-length production, the music is great, lyrics are insightful and fun, and fun characters.
While we were watching it, Penny's song resonated with me:
Here's a story of girl
who grew up lost and lonely
thinking love was fairy tales
and trouble was made only for me
even in the darkness
every color can be found
and every day of rain
brings water flowing
to things growing in the ground
Grief replaced with pity
for a city barely coping
dreams are easy to achieve
if hope is all I'm hoping to be
Any time you're hurt
there's one who has it worse around
and every drop of rain
will keep you growing seeds you're sowing in the ground
So keep your head up billy buddy.

Sunset Wine Club
For Christmas last year, Dave's parents gave us a subscription to Sunset Magazine . Taking advantage of the $19.95 (+shipping) new member offer, I joined - with the intention of immediately canceling - the wine club.
1) I'm pregnant.
2) The regular price is $35/month plus $20 shipping - so almost $60/month really.
3) You have to be home to sign for the delivery since it's alcohol. As it is, it took 3 attempts for delivery this time.... So that's annoying.
My Backyard
Our freshly mulched backyard, with labor provided by the Hamiltons and Dave, I supervised.
Guesses as to the fruit? Plum?
I think this one is a peach!
Pomegranates in the making.
Pomegranate Pollination Station.
The first Bonnie Grape tomatoes are coming in!
Greedy little birds already drained my bird feeder. I half-filled it on Friday,
and one week later, crumbs are left.
Maternity Photos
Tada! While Diane was here - in the 45 minutes we had before we had to load everyone in the car to go to the airport - we did a mini-photo shoot of Noah and I. These are some of my favorites.
(Click on any of the photos to make them fullscreen large.)
The photo shoot wasn't hard until later - we were so busy getting everyone out the door, and then driving, and then driving again. But yesterday it was a little hard. I mean, I love the photos, but it's still difficult knowing that we won't have more photos of Noah. Regardless, the photos are a tribute to Diane's photography abilities - since the only light we used was the natural light from our bedroom window.
