#7<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I wanted to put up a whole post today about what our Puking Christmas Eve taught me about little Lincoln, but I\u2019m having a black bean crisis and am too busy hovering over the pot, stirring way too much, adjusting the heat ad nauseum, and praying praying praying <\/em>that they weren\u2019t old beans that will never get soft. Because we\u2019re having company over for dinner in 3 hours and I can\u2019t start over with canned beans because I used all the ham stock I made last night as cooking liquid for the beans. And I refuse to let the ham stock be wasted. So I\u2019m doing quick takes instead.<\/p>\n

#6<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Note to everyone: ham stock smells delicious. It\u2019s like bacon potpourri. Do not make it if you are hungry and the only grocery store within an hour drive closes at oh-frak-thirty in the afternoon, because you will spend the three hours while the stock is simmering trying to figure out just how negatively it would impact your post-Christmas budget if you drove 50 miles round trip for bacon. And then in the end you\u2019ll probably just make a too-stiff hot toddy and go to bed angry because you really wanted bacon and wake up with a headache. Anyway. That didn\u2019t happen to me or anything.<\/p>\n

#5<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Also, just a brief post-Christmas public service announcement: if your daughter gets a ripstick for Christmas, it\u2019s probably best not to try it out in a public place where people can see you, because you\u2019ll probably make a complete fool out of yourself.<\/p>\n

Santa kind of disappointed me this year. I\u2019ve been wanting a certain book since last Christmas, and then in the blur of Lincoln I couldn\u2019t remember what book it was when everyone was asking what I wanted. So I didn\u2019t get it. Then I remembered this morning, but it\u2019s way more expensive than the Amazon gift card I did get. So now I\u2019m sad, and saving up for it, and kind of annoyed that Santa doesn\u2019t have a special mind-reading service for sleep-deprived mothers of newborns.<\/p>\n

The blond lady is Moira. I find her voice very soothing, unlike every other DVD instructor ever.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What he did bring me was a set of Stott Pilates DVD\u2019s, with the requisite resistant band and weight balls. I really wanted this set. I love Pilates, and Stott is the best I\u2019ve come across. But sadly getting workout DVD\u2019s for Christmas kind of ranks up there with getting a vacuum cleaner: something you need, but that\u2019s not exactly fun to open. Or use.<\/p>\n

I almost look like that too, when bending down in my tiny sports bra and matching shorts to sooth my totally taught muscles. Almost.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I did use one of the DVD\u2019s yesterday, and after that and a long run this morning, I\u2019m having trouble walking. So I consider them a success.<\/p>\n

I just called my son a poopsicle. You know you\u2019re on mommy autopilot when a nickname you have never heard nor imagined comes out of your mouth and you think, \u201cwow, self, it would be best if you never ever said that again.\u201d<\/p>\n

And I have to go, because, the beans. Go see Jen <\/a>for more quick takes!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
