Ow, ow, ow!!!!! I'm dying for you. Did you ever hear my HORRIFIC nursing story? It involved 3 rounds of mastitis, 3 million plugged ducts, having to stop nursing the baby, an emergency flight home from Oklahoma, and three surgical pocedures to remedy. Now you've heard it. Just saying. If anything is at all wierd in a few days I am highly in favor of haunting the OB until they DO THE HECK SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Only you've done this once before and probably know all that. Good luck.

Oh, man. It is the most horrific word in the English language. When I had my first and my milk came in, I remember just being at a loss for words. All I could do was moo.

I was afraid and thought that I might not want to know but it wasn't nearly as bad as I imagined it might be. So, basically you just have really big boobs? :) I'm sure that it's more painful than it sounds. I was imagining that some part of your body 'engorged' some other part of your innards. It sounded really bloody, grotesque, and curable only by a surgical procedure. Sounds like you just need little Timmy to get to work.

Today so far has been going much better than yesterday. Timothy is really doing his job and we've been making him eat every two hours so that's helping things a lot. My mom is here cooking, cleaning and reading to Sophie, so that's helping me a lot too. Last night was pretty yucky, so I hope that if I get things under control during the day it will help. Having done this before helps too. With Sophie the same thing happened and we spent several days just trying to figure what was going on before we fixed it.

Yay for moms! Also, what kind of a yogurt maker do you have? Obviously, you may respond at your leisure to this question. :)

Debate 2008

One of the features of our new apartment is a working garbage disposal. It's been a few years since we've had one, and Mr. Fob and I are suddenly discovering a new source of marital conflict. According to Mr. Fob, movies and television have taught him that you should never stick your hand in the garbage disposal, even if it is turned off. I prefer to rely on common sense and the fact that the off switch means "off" and stick my hand in to make sure no utensils are hiding before turning it on. Mr. Fob thinks I'm crazy. What do you think? Do you stick your hand in the garbage disposal or do you like to grind up your spoons and forks?

Happy, Happy Blog-day Foxy Dear

Tomorrow marks the second anniversary of my blog. I had no idea where my life would go when I started this blog, and it's fun for me to read back through the archives and remember feelings and events that I have already forgotten. I think the most surprising thing about blogging that I have discovered is the sense of community. I have about fifty blogs that I follow somewhat regularly; many of them are people I haven't ever met in person. I still consider them to be my friends. I've been very grateful for all the virtual support I've received from so many people who don't really even "know" me. Miss Nemesis recently celebrated her blog's special day by asking lurkers to come out of the woodwork and reveal who they were and how they found her blog. She got 52 comments. If you want to make my day, see if you can top her numbers. Maybe then I can change my blognym to "Queen of the Universe".

Coming Out in Public

A little over 6 years ago I was on my mission in Madrid. I was transferred to new area at the same time as another elder. I remember asking him if was really from Hawaii, since he was so tall and blonde. We ended up serving together in the same district for nearly seven and a half months and had a lot of good times together. He was actually nice to the sisters and a hard worker, without being too zealous and overbearing. I knew he was going home just a month before me and planning on being an English major when he got back to BYU. When I was transferred out of that area, we exchanged emails and addresses and promised to get back in touch some day, like I did with a lot of other missionaries. I got home in January and started trying to contact some of the people I'd been friends with back in the mission. I emailed this particular elder and found out that he had gone to the computer lab that very day in order to email me. We started emailing each other and talked on the phone a few t...
