Sep 30, 2003 The Story of My Life
It’s not a recent picture, obviously, because Noah was, ummm, 2 1/2 in that picture. It’s the one they used for the editor’s letter at ePregnancy this month. I don’t have many recent pics because I’m always the one behind the camera. Also, I thought the whole Halloween theme was nice. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m really not in the least techie
Sep 30, 2003 Uncategorized
And I don’t really have aspirations to be more techie but I would like to figure out how to make my site look better. I’m going to be playing around with it for a bit. It’s pretty much looked like this since I switched to moveable type and I’m kinda out for something new.

Sep 29, 2003 Adoption
I love fall. I love fall weather and I love fall wardrobes. I also think it’s easier to cook in the fall because there’s still enough produce but it’s also cool enough to bake and do casseroles or heavy bean soups.
Last night I got such a wave of baby hunger that I thought that I might actually be able to force a baby to appear from somewhere. This was hot on the heels of another bout of ambivalence and wondering if another baby was a good idea seeing as how we’re so happy. The answer? Yes! It’s a marvelous idea! Because if we don’t do this, I’ll forever regret it.
Work is feeling more comfortable now that I’m in a routine and have a group of dependable, talented writers regularly turning stuff in. I have everything edited and arranged into folders for easy upload to the tech people when it comes time to do an update. I think about the early weeks when I was getting tons of submissions and not really knowing what was going on and am relieved to find that all that craziness has distilled into a manageable bunch of busywork. I also think the front page of the site looks really nice and am impressed with how hard the tech person works. No matter how petty a request, she’s always cheerful and willing to do what she can to get things in order.
All in all, I think that a baby will fit into our life without me having to lose my job or even take a leave. This has much to do with the quality of the people willing to write for us; I know that what they turn in is going to be good and won’t require major editing. Very nice.

At temple today
Sep 27, 2003 Judaism
We went to hear the shofar and it was a pretty good service. The rabbi told a funny story with props and the mood was jubiliant if a little stressed (all of those parents trying to keep small children somewhat quiet).
I can’t tell you all what a huge giant good feeling it gives me to watch Noah singing along to “A Tree of Life” or mumbling the Hebrew. I don’t know where his spiritual journey will lead him but knowing that his roots will always be in Judaism — that those songs will always sound like home — means a great deal to me.
