My man proposed to me today - Halloween! He put my ring in a box of Girl Scout cookies. He told me to have one. Yum! My ring could not be more perfect.

Is she getting enough to eat? She's only had that one bottle all week long. She refuses all other bottle/formula combinations. She is a boob girl exclusively.

Two more days until we attend The Rally to Restore Sanity. I think Klint picked up my engagement ring last night. Will the proposal be soon?

We fed Edith strained carrots mixed with formula last night. She liked it! She was kind of pulling it out of her mouth and eating it with her hands.
Edith finally drank some of the oldschool formula. Similac wants us back and sent free samples. Edith refused everything else.
It makes me crazy when I can't log into Facebook. I stay home with my baby and log on while I feed her. She is cute, so it's not too torturous.

The most creatively exotic soup I have ever made. Leftover dinner salad-frozen in the back of the fridge. Throw it in a pot, add stock or water, puree. Yum!

I am scared. My baby refuses every style of bottle we own so far. There is one style left to try. The failed imitation breastfeeding bottle. Wish me luck.
Rawr.

Edith refuses the bottle and I don't make enough breastmilk. She's not teething; she's starving. She's upset and chewing on her hands furiously.
I spend every day trying to entertain my little one between feedings. Feedings are when I get a break from activity and relinquish my body to Edith.

Sark always makes me feel just right and peachy. Life is better when things are done badly. For fun! Don't worry about other people's reactions. Block them out!
I am nervous. I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable. I want everyone to be pleased to see me. I want to shame no one. I want joy and approval.

For my next trick, I figure out how to set Edith down for a nap. She likes to wake up crying as soon as she hits the sheets. I will work on my skill building.

I'm working on wedding music. Am I badass enough to walk down the aisle to "Metallica Plays Star Wars"? Not really. But maybe I could be someday soon.
I can't get my magical phone tricks to work anymore. I just want the machine to have uploaded a picture when it says it has uploaded a picture.

Edith slept very well. I will never tell my secret. I hope she wasn't listening. I still worry about her. She likes to sleep on her belly.
I have been so lucky so far. Edith has not been rushed back to the hospital, she hardly ever spits up, and she is often happy and smiling. I love her so much!

Wedding stuff. We are doing it! My dress...Klint is renting a kick ass black and red ensemble to wear. It gives me the courage to wear my DIY red+black heels.

43 days until I am a Mrs. Kinder. I am hoping to work on my dress today. Or play with hair and makeup ideas. And I need new shoes...and a cake topper...and...

I just baked flat, oozy chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies. Perhaps I should have used the 3/4 cup of chocolate chips instead of two handfulls.

Tuesday, October 12, 2010

I will be a rockabilly hottie. My dress will fit perfectly. My shoes will be godly in their awesomness. My wedding will be full of kick ass.
I just discovered my wedding prelude music: The Vitamin String Quartet. I don't know if they're a real band with instruments or one guy at a computer.

I thought this today:
"I'm so goth, I'm getting married on BLACK FRIDAY."
I forgot the day after Thanksgiving is called Black Friday. A huge day for shopping!
Oh my goodness! I have successfully laid Edith down on the bed for a nap. For both of us, if I'm lucky.
Edith had a bath, I put her in the baby backpack. She falls asleep. I don't want to stop doing things for myself. But I am a mom now and Edith is a priority.
A rough night for teething Edith. I just realized that these are the words that belong in a paper journal. No saving these words for future generations.

I had no idea how much I can miss my baby Edith when I go out on my artist's dates. I feel sad for her when I see other babies. I wish for her to be near me.
My ol' friend Megan has posted pinup photos of herself. She is still gorgeous with a great rack, I don't mind saying! I want pinup photos done of me someday.

Our wedding being planned from afar is being taken seriously. People are working hard. It will be good! Thought and effort shows in every detail of the plans.
I just ate experimental relish on hot dogs. It turns out that it tastes best on the top of the dog. I think it needs a little more zing. But what kind of zing?
I am a new mama. My brains often resemble oatmeal. I panic and always order a hamburger, no matter what type of eatery I am in. They can be eaten with one hand.
I keep having nightmares where my car is rolling away and Gary Shandling is there, but he isn't helpful. And Edith doesn't seem to be there.

I love my baby Edith. But she makes me feel worried I am starving her. I try to breastfeed her and she grows impatient quickly. And she hates the bottle.
I see...no subject?
Huh?
Test

Numero Uno

I'll be coming back here to document the past. Using the cut and paste method. When I don't have a baby squealing for attention.
Bye, Hallie
