Thanks, Robin and Jules!

Swing music ROCKS. I love the authentic folks and original recordings, especially Glenn Miller. I also like contemporary swing along the lines of The Brian Setzer Orchestra.

Jules, finding time to exercise in your busy situation is HUGE. Congratulations! And you’re right–letting your body move around really does improve so much more about your life. Who wants to feel all slow and sluggish and creaky before it’s absolutely necessary?

Oh and Little Willow, I will celebrate the end of April with you. I know you’re ready to see it GO AWAY!

As usual, I’m late to the list, but I’m here!

Congrats on the sleep, Robin!

This week I got to go out with a huge stack of books and read alone over coffee while my mom watched the girls.

And I’ve started a regular exercise routine of sorts. It’s hard with wee ones, but I found something that works, involving good swing music to get your heart rate up. All my life, I’ve never had to worry about my weight, but now that I’ve had two children, I can see how my metabolism is slowing and that it could become problematic if I don’t start exercising regularly. So, that’s being VERY good to myself (esp. since exercise makes you feel great in more ways than one). Woo hoo!

Oh, Little Willow, I’m so sorry! What a harsh April you’re having! But hang in there–just two more days.

I followed up last week’s quasimergency trip to the dentist with a return engagement for oral surgery and fillings.

rb, i’m happy that you remind the uninitiated (apparently on this blog, only me) that all references i don’t get find their genesis in “the princess bride.”

off-topic (on this post, but not entirely). i took my own good advice and with hubby and a bottle of wine watched “the thomas crown affair”, original and remake, back to back–excellent. have to take issue with my fellow-blogger’s comment that the remake is superior. not so, it’s good, but way more “fluffy” than the original which is much darker, more nuanced and best, no happy, sappy hollywood ending.

annette has spoken.

(Let me just quietly say how hap-hap-happy I am when people quote from The Princess Bride. Please, carry on.)

So…now we can go in against Sicilians when death is on the line? Is that what you’re saying?

…or are you secretly Sicilian, and this is really more serious than anyone thought?

Oh, dear.

Ah, well. Life is pain, Patrick. Anyone who says differently is selling something. So knock ‘em dead.

May I buy my tickets now? I have a feeling this’ll be an interesting round of golf.
