My apologies for the long blogging lapse. Between busy workdays with shorter breaks and my sad lack of energy (combination pregnancy and my latest cold) I just haven’t had the reserves to sit down at the computer any more than I have to, which means pretty much no “fun” computer time. Except on Sunday night when I was trying to finish up our tax stuff. Yeah, that was fun. And it’s still not done. Grmph.
Anyway, I have read — with delight! — every comment that has come in here. Thanks so much to everyone for the happy and supportive thoughts on my last post! I saw a couple of new names there and have been meaning to follow up. I swear, I’ll get to it one of these days. (Just like the dishes, the laundry, the… well, you get the picture.)
This weekend passed in a blur of sneezing, eating, extreme queasiness, and napping, so there’s not much to report there. I did, however, have another doctor’s appointment yesterday and I got a clean bill of prenatal health from Dr. Gudapati. I even had another internal exam (oh joy) and she figures that the “hard spot” my regular doc felt when he was doing my annual exam was just the natural bump of my retroverted uterus (which means my uterus tilts backward instead of forward the way most women’s do). So I guess that was much ado about nothing, but fortuitous; I don’t mind having a “better safe than sorry” kind of doc and if it hadn’t been for that, I wouldn’t have had an ultrasound booked for last week. So yay for that!
I can’t think of anything profound to say today — even the story of the guy at the grocery store who asked if I worked in a group home isn’t very funny today — so I’m going to turn it over to you. McMommy, one of the most recent additions to my Google Reader, did this fun little Q&A exercise yesterday, and I am totally stealing her idea.
So this is the idea: you can ask me anything you want, and I’ll pick some of your questions and post my answers on the blog. This will help me get back into the blogging groove, so please ask away!
I have three: What is one book you love and why? If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you pick and why? And what’s something you looove to eat?
what is the most important thing you hope to teach your child(ren)?
Oh, I’m so excited you are doing this too! It turned out to be so much fun. I still have questions I have yet to answer….can’t wait to get to them!
So here’s my question for you…
How did you come to choose Jade’s name? Was it a name you always liked? Does it have special meaning for you?
What’s your favourite thing about your husband?
I hope it’s not too late to ask, seeing as you already started replying!
My question is about northern living. I don’t know where you are on a green scale, but I imagine you’re concerned about climate change. So: Do you think living in the Yukon can be sustainable? And, what actions, if any, have you taken to try and reduce your ecological footprint?
I hope that didn’t sound rude, the second part of the question. It certainly wasn’t meant that way. I’m thinking now, what if they don’t do anything!?
So to rephrase that: What do you think could be done by someone who lives in the North to reduce their impact?
When are you coming to visit? (hee hee)
See you in September/October
