For the week of June 15-21:
What I’m reading: Well I finished Sex, Lies and Videotapes, and then I read Betrayal by Harold Pinter. Now I’m moving on to a systemic reading of Flannery O’Connor’s short stories. I am going to study her for form. Yep, yep.
What I’m watching: Hypnobirthing videos. Who wants to give birth with no pain??? MEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
What I’m listening to: Kathleen Edwards’ new album: Asking For Flowers.
What I’m wearing: Sometimes nothing in this heat. But inevitably, that’s when the maintenance guys walk right onto our patio with no warning, past the wide open window…to turn off the water…or blow leaves. It’s always unexpected and very jarring. But I’m sure they’ve seen many ‘a preggo woman with exposed flesh. I mean who hasn’t??!!! And quite frankly, the hotter it gets, the less I care.
What I’m eating: “Wedding Cookies” purchased for my little women’s group. And might I say, the cookies were a hit. Personally, I think it’s a bit of a triumph getting groups of women to EAT together, as opposed to everyone ‘playing full.’ When did a person need to be famished to eat a freakin’ Wedding Cookie???
Oh yeah, I’m also eating those Vans Gluten Free Waffles. 2 for $4.00. That’s a GREAT deal. In Canada they cost like 10 bucks a box. Sure glad I’m American now!
What I wish I was eating: A salad made by somebody else. I don’t feel like cooking these days. Yesterday I did manage to pull together a wee dinner of fish, green beans and yam mash. Everyone say ‘yam mash.’ But I don’t think I’d like to repeat the endeavor today.
What I’m sniffing: Um…ant corpses. Here’s some hands-on science for y’all. When you squash an ant with your finger (which you are prone to do when you see them often enough), the little suckers release some kind of chemical—putrid stank, which takes at least 3 hand washings to remove. Gross, you say? Indeed. The little ant pile I found devouring the spider as a team was PRETTY GROSS. But I didn’t cry or even cry out.
Boring ass, Si guy? I think not.

Do keep practicing the things you learnt in your HypnoBirthing class. It works!

Those waffles are in fact only 3.99 here at Dominion so long live Canada, my American-traitor sister…as cute as you are!
My favourite O’Conner story is A Good Man is Hard to Find…my grade 12′s probably want to throw up when I mention it now, because I made them analyze that sucker to death…but a very worthwhile venture!
love Nat
