For a change, I was prepared for Bacon Wednesday. I had planned to tell you all about a really informative article that appeared in the local rag a few years back, but then this landed in my feed reader, courtesy of Slashfood. Irresistible, I'm afraid. If you're still recovering from the bacon bra, it's probably wise to just skip this one.

reunion
So my 20th college reunion is coming up. It's one of those things I can't wait for, and find scary as all get out at the same time. I spent four years trying to fit in and, for the most part, failed miserably. Yet it was an incredible time in a beautiful place I still love (and would move back to in a heartbeat if the opportunity ever presented).

a good day for bad news
First comes this news about the Dove "Campaign for Real Beauty" ads. It just made me sad.

a little rain must fall, but this is ridiculous
May Market was this weekend. It's been cold and rainy for days so when it looked like there was a break in the weather this afternoon, I loaded Eleanor into the Ergo on my back and headed over there. The break didn't last as long as expected. About five minutes after we arrived it started to rain again. We managed to get home without getting soaked but it was a challenge. We did a lot of sprinting towards tree-canopied spots in the sidewalk when downpours intensified. A brolly would have been very, very useful.

one of those posts
When I have nothing interesting to say I ramble on about whatever we've been up to. (I fear twitter is getting my best material.) This kind of post is incredibly boring. If not for blog365 I would fold up the MacBook and go to bed.
- I am still sweating the job. It really is like deja vu all over again. The last time I spent six weeks checking my email every 10 seconds. It would not be good to do that again.
- Eleanor's walking continues to improve rapidly. Yesterday she figured out how to stand up without pulling up on something. Oliver did this after he had been walking well for about a month. She is still taking just a few steps here and there, but is a little steadier and more confident every day.
- Target has some amazing (and cheap) stuff for enjoying the lovely weather (that we are not currently having -- see below). It's all party of the Cynthia Rowley "whim" line. I could have filled my cart, and then some, in the two aisles they occupy in my store. CD won't believe it but I was very restrained. The battery operated bubble shooter is especially cool. I resisted getting the pink garden hose.
- I would like it to stop being rainy and cold. That is all.

get me some....fudge
I'm not sure what sounds best, the fudge, the wine, or the other stuff, but go read for yourself.

Tissue? I hardly know you!
This is what happens when a 13 month old (tomorrow) is left alone in her room for 30 seconds and she discovers the tissue box.
