eee1313Hi, everyone! I miss you all. Man, I really wish it weren't so hard to type LJ responses and/or entries on my phone, because it seems like that's the only way I get to check here these days. As always, I want you to know that I'm reading, I'm thinking about you, and I love you. Much, much love to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tenar and spicedrum right now, and your families.
Things are going well around here. The heat FINALLY broke, so that makes life considerably less awful than it was last week. We had new windows installed on the first floor of our house this past Saturday. The poor Scientist stayed home while the contractors made big holes in the side of our house, which meant no A/C for him. It was 105 in the house that day. Yikes. I took VEE out in search of places with air conditioning. But now we have new windows, and they're lovely, and we finally have a sliding door out to the (nonexistant) back yard area and it can actually be used as a DOOR. I'm happy.
Work continues.
I've been doing a few little design side projects for people, so that's been fun. I enjoy being creative. :D
The baby is great. She's so much fun. She's about 20 pounds now, and while she STILL has no interest in crawling, she can sit for long, long periods of time and play with her toys, and she's eating all sorts of fruits and veggies. She's basically vegan right now. And she has added "ma ma ma" sounds to her repertoire, which makes me happy because it used to be only "da da da." She's ridiculously well-behaved and full of smiles and giggles. I love her to bits.
The Scientist is, as ever, the perfect husband. Every night when we get home from work, he makes dinner while Itry to feed the baby, and he always dresses her in the morning while I'm getting ready. And he makes me coffee and a bagel every morning. I am very lucky, and I don't know how this came to be my life, but I'm really glad of it.
Man, I hope I don't sound smug.
What else? Getting shallow, I am NOT HAPPY about Eureka ending. But at least White Collar starts up tomorrow. Yay, Peter and Neal! And Mozzie! And Mrs. Suit! Man, I love that show. I need some White Collar icons. (Have I said that before?)
This weekend we got to see some friends, which was nice. Our friends had a baby a few months ago, and this past weekend was his "social debut." Not the parents' term for it, but it fits. So we got to see them and a bunch of other people we haven't seen in months, so that was nice.
Anyway, it's late and I should get going. OH! I am finally, FINALLY reading the Harry Potter books. I know, right? I always said I wouldn't read them till the movies were done, and now they're done and I put GRRM on the back burner for a while, so HP it is. It was either that or finally reading the LotR books, and the Scientist was like "Read Harry Potter, it'll go faster." So I'm on book #2, having "read" the first via audiobook - in February of 2011. Man, I'm really dragging my feet on this, aren't I? Oh well, better late than never, right? Right.

Yay, Vee and The Scientist!
Me too!

Third, I, too, am FINALLY reading Harry Potter. However, I can say with much more smugness than you exhibited in your post (i.e., me-- lots, you-- none) that I am now on book 6!!! I refused to watch the movies until I read the books, and I saw the beginning of movie 5 (but not the end) which made me confused as I read-- I kept wondering if I'd already read the book, even though I knew I hadn't. I have to admit, as much as I am NOT a fantasy fan, I am loving these books. Can't wait until my kids are old enough... just one more year for better reading fluency and I think we're there!
Um, that's it, besides giving my favorite and best sister I've ever had a BIG shout out for your awesome "little design project" work-- I am SO LUCKY to have such a talented sister ready to work wonders for me (and others) at the drop of a hat. You are awesome!!!!!
