I have 3 jobs now, 4 if you count being a mommy! I started tutoring math at the elementary school in the mornings, and I am doing textbook inventory there, and then I was just offered the position of after school coordinator!! And I can bring the baby!! Its great, and I am getting to know all of the kids and the teachers so we will be ready when Sam starts school.
My other income will be the 1 million dollars i win when I enter the Pillsbury Bake Off in April. Not only 1 million dollars, but $7,000 worth of G.E appliances. So we are pretty much set.

Karaoke Night
Uncle Curt and Geena singing "Mustang Sally"
The girls and Sam singing a song I don't know, because I don't listen to top 40 pop. I don't think Sam knew it either. A shout out to Sinead who actually did a good job trimming my hair.
As promised, the 7 day rye
Sam's friend Olivia came to visit. She is a week younger and half his size. They pretty much fought over toys the whole time. No one got hurt or cried, though, and Sam tried to kiss her goodbye. He is a very good kisser. He likes to blow kisses, too. We got him flash cards, and he knows pig, dog (woof woof woof), apple, peas and grapes. Only in english, though, not the 4 other languages the cards suggest.Thursday, January 22, 2009
Forever!
I know, It's been forever since I last posted. Whats going on-
Sam is a walker- more like a runner. It is so funny watching him toddle everywhere. He got 2 more teeth, hence the EXTREME crankiness of late- an eyetooth and the hugest molar I have ever seen. It makes it easier for him to eat all the food in the world. He helped grandma clean out the pantry yesterday, and was eating fermented black beans. GROSS!! Jeff and I waited patiently for them to come out the other end, with the huckleberries. Sam and the technicolor diaper.
Top Chef- Why is bug eyed Carla still around? I love Jamie the best, and am nauseated by Leah/Hosea love story. I enjoyed the farm challenge. Everything Janet and I cook, we're like "would this get us kicked off Top Chef?" Usually it would, because it was either not plated correctly or we used bad knife skills.
Bread- Janet and I saw Nancy Silverton of LaBrea Bakery on "Julia Child's Cooking with Master Chefs" and became smitten. I got the cookbook and just made the most gorgeous rye bread I wanted to weep. We call it the 7 day rye- it only took 5 days (to build the rye starter- there is no packaged yeast in this bread, only wild yeast, and I had to keep feeding it, over night once it exploded and I was sick so poor Jeff had to deal with it, imagine the consternation!!!). Anyway, of course I have pictures, thanks for asking, but I did not bring my camera today.
Survivor- I love you, Justin, thank you so much. I watched "Survivor- Gabon" in 3 days, I got so excited I love Survivor!!!!!!!!! This was a great season, although I really was rooting for Kenny. I love a good underdog story and this one was perfection- I love watching that bitch Corine's face when she saw that Marcus was kicked out.
ANTM- Thank you, Oxygen, for rebroadcasting last season on Sunday so I could get my Tyra fix! If only I could couch every Sunday and watch TV marathons like I used to...
Nip/Tuck- Its a little ridiculous this season
That's really all I am watching on TV, the new Joss Whedon show starts in February so I am super excited for that.
Oh, and Dexter!! We are netflixing it and it is the best show ever. Except for Buffy and Survivor.
I have almost lived in Orleans for an entire year! Hard to believe. I start Monday tutoring at the school 10 hours a week, in- irony of all ironies- math. Wish me luck!
More pictures of the baby soon!
