MOVING -- LAST POST HERE

Hi folks -- sorry about the no post day yesterday. I was busy setting up a new home for my blogginess. Blogspot will probably (or not, they may not care at all) have a meltdown if I post this, but please come visit me now at: www.freeformkatia.wordpress.com In a few days you can also do the link below which will redirect you to the wordpress blog: www.freeformkatia.com See you on the otherside, Katia

You know, it's been a long day, so just get that camera out of my face. I've been up since 5:45am and spent a busy day at school with a ton of noisy kids. Then I had a diaper explosion -- the indignity of that! At least this time round mom didn't have to wash all the pillow cases from the daycare room as a result of that. I'm not looking my best right now -- hence the dark glasses. And to top it all off, I got yoghurt on my new dress! Mom wasn't too impressed.
But speaking of my dress, Isn't it cute?? My Omi made it for me. What a special Omi!

Katia here:
what what what. sigh. Grandma Jane and Grandpa Tom arrive tomorrow for a long weekend visit! Maja can almost say "Hi Grandma".
I wish I had more knitting time! I have only 1 lunchtime a week where I can knit (Fridays). Phlox Socks the second is coming along slowly. What makes it more stressful is that I have about 5 projects waiting in the wings...
The weather yesterday and today has me contemplating quitting my job and finding employment which would allow me to sit on a park bench or at a sidewalk cafe AT MY LEISURE drinking coffee and knitting. Obviously I've done something wrong with my life to be a slave to my desk 35 hrs. a week. I resent it -- and that's a tough thing to carry around all day. It's exhausting.

Tonight I will FINALLY make lasagna. I've only been trying for a week -- first we were away, then I found we didn't have enough ricotta, last night by the time the ricotta arrived it was too late... but tonight I will succeed. yeah!

And, to top it all off, EVERYONE (7 women I know so far) except me is pregnant. Well, everyone except Trish who just had her baby last week. Yo, people, send pregnancy vibes my way!

Do you know what happened to Little Mikey? I had never heard this urban legend until Richard told me the story this morning. I probably would have believed it as a kid -- I was (and still partly am) gullible. This one I did hear about, from my MOM. Now, she was either trying to brainwash us (it worked) or she really believed it. Who knows. I wonder if these urban legends get as much mileage these days. Kids these days have .com to confirm; in my day we just had .mom.

ohh ohh babyyyyyyyy

yeah, i'm so happy to be here! up on dad's shoulders viewing the world. in the rain. in the cold rain. in Washington DC! dude -- we saw gorillas. and elephants. and panda bears at the National Zoo! in the rain. I got to hang out with my buddy Sam. He's 2 days older than me -- and just as cute! I got to play with all his toys. He was really nice about it. He even took me on a date to a Jewish deli. cool.
