The Queen's Rambles

Thank you guys for all the congratulations! And all the name speculation. You make me giggle! I better not say anything more about the name or you’ll all know it anyway. I will give you one hint. It is not Wilma. Yabba dabba doo! That narrows it down to nine, for those of you who found the top 10 Swedish names list.

Also, I am very frustrated because our router is not working. I am stealing internet from a neighbor, but I am unable to send out e-mails unless I happen to find a thirty second window when our router is actually working. I want to sream.

I went to Kohl’s today and was VERY VERY VERY tempted to get a little girl dress or three. I restrained myself. I am going to have more hand me downs than I know what to do with. I may as well save my money for things we really need (diapers, anyone?).

My friend said she would give me some refresher knitting lessons, so I think I am going to try to knit a striped cardigan for the baby. I’m thinking lavender and green. I should also think about making this baby a quilt! I don’t even know where to start. I am a little scared to turn myself loose in a quilting store.

Does anyone else find it weird that Elizabeth Mitchell stars in Frequency and the killer is named Jack Shepard? (I think he is the killer. It has been a long time since I’ve watched the movie, but I am playing it right now).

I really should get back to reading my book. Ofenjen has inspired me to do a Harry Potter re-read, so I started that tonight. I was reading a different book, but it didn’t hold my attention. I found myself scraping soap scum off the shower walls with my fingernails instead of reading my book. Disgusting! I’d say that’s a sign that a book is boring me, if ever there was a sign.

Has anyone ever noticed that I bore easily?

Understatement of the year.

I had quite a talk with the mom of Erik’s little preschool girlfriend today. Thank goodness she has three boys! Apparently Erik told the little girl that he has a big pen.is. Oh joy. Does anyone have a sex ed book for 4 year olds? I talked to him today about keeping his penis information private, but he thought I was crazy. Instead of understanding, he wanted to take off his pants and show me that he could “wag his wiener.” Please send help.

We had a little book exchange party this morning and I don’t know what to do. Ok, so that’s not true. I know exactly what to do. I have to be a book censor. Erik ended up with a Garfield book, which would be fine and dandy except it focuses on Garfield being fat. A few months ago Erik started calling me fat. I was not a happy camper. I mostly extinguished the behavior, though he’s tried it out a couple of times since then. I really don’t need this book in my house. I feel sort of guilty, but it is going to have to disappear.
