Friday Quick Takes

1) I made $2.38 writing for the Examiner last month. Needless to say, this was not enough motivation to write all that much this month.

2) My CSA box ended last Friday. I'm going to have to think about going to the store to buy produce. It is rather hard to go back. I still have a few carrots, a leek, and lots of potatoes to eat.

3) Kyri took a marker to the wall yesterday while Mike and I were BOTH present and we both missed it.

4) Ben is nearly finished with his Beginning Geography book. It is short and simple and a wonderful, inexpensive introduction to geography. He is forever captured.

5) Other than a few "I think I'm so tired, I could die" days, this part of my pregnancy has been better than the previous two. Or maybe, my expectations are just lower.

6) Despite no. 5, I did have an anxiety attack at the realization that about 15 people are coming to my house for Thanksgiving. My wonderful mother must have sensed this because she bought a train ticket to come start helping me get ready for two days before.

7) The baby is still not named. This is on Mike's to-do list for November.
