Salt and Pickles

Ok, so for 7 months I pretty much have had no interest in food. I could take it or leave it, and I was not really gaining any weight.  (after losing weight at first)

Now.. I love food! especially farmers market tomatoes, farmers market organic locally made peach sorbet! or the strawberry nectarine sorbet. I’m cooking and eating and eating and eating. I went to a wedding and I was one of the first to go up for seconds at the buffet. food is righteous. 

Also, this kid in my belly is one hell of a mover and a shaker. She is seriously kicking the crap out of my insides 75% of every day. She often does what i call “AWOOOOOOGA” which is when every bit of her moves at once. all her limbs fly akimbo and she does a little hip shake or something. If my belly had eyeballs and ears, the eyeballs would be shooting out of their sockets..the ears would be steaming and the noise would be “awooooooooooga” . yea. she’s crazy in there. I don’t sleep so hot.

Tonight i made the supper tart from Splendid Table. buttery pastry, cheesey goodness with greens & grapes & onions. yummo. followed by peach sorbet . yay food! oh did i say that already?

i have a little over 8 weeks left. If she goes til her due date. yikes.this weekend we buy a new car. Probably a prius. because we’re oh so berkeley.

also, google docs has been a lifesaver for me. That shit is awesome. I mean… I am keeping my life and money organized for the first time in my life practically. it’s great. I’m a grown up. (I’m about to be a parent!) 

ok, it would seem i’m high on sorbet sugar. I’m going to go take a bath and read The Never Ending Story (i dare you to try to get that song out of your head now)
