- The first deadlines for Infinite Summer
- Hair (so goes the thick, lustrous hair of pregnancy…down the drain…)
- An acceptable level of blood iron
- Uninterrupted sleep
- Patience
- The point of NYC Prep (not in an entertainment way, but an existential way)
- A sunny disposition
- Coffee
- A serious plan for how I’m going to function as a working mother
- Texas
- My “blogiversary,” or whatever the hell you call it (June 26th it was, and no, let’s not dwell on who I was last year at this time)
- The willingness to end a list on a uneven or otherwise disturbing number like 11.
Things I’m missing.
1 July 2009 by Perpetua
I feel your pain in regards to hair. 4 months postpartum, my bathroom floor almost looks like a barbershop after a good blow dry.
A few things:
1. Yes, this is a majorly delayed response.
2. You should post more frequently because you crack me up. And because your my BBFF. And because you should always do things just for me, regardless of how busy you are.
3. I swear I’m going bald, and I’ve never even been pregnant. WTF?
4. Sun is only necessary to warm us and make plants grow and stuff like that. We don’t need it in our disposition. It’s like an accessory, really. Use it if it feels natural/instinctual, but sometimes it’s just extra weighty baggage and inauthentic.
5. Happy belated blog birthday (I refuse to call it a blogiversary because that reminds me of couples who celebrate so-called “monthiversaries” which makes no sense to me. Even though a blogiversary would at least represent a YEAR, and thus make total sense. Even though it would be missing the “anni-” part, which is what delineates the year. Which brings me back to: I refuse to call it a “blogiversary.” But your blog rules and deserves a cake and ice cream, at the very least. Happy birthday, bloggy!
6. Yeah, I hear you about ending a list with a number like 11. Though sometimes I get really crazy and end lists with a number like 392 and 1/3.
7. For some absurd reason, you were not listed on my Blogroll. Apparently I am on crack. Or WAS on crack. Anyway, I just rectified that situation.
@jeni, omg, when is it going to STOP??? I’m seriously going to have to get a haircut that accommodates my new baldness. So sad. And sadder because my pregnancy hair was so thick and shiny.
@PauvrePlume Numbers 4-6 are why we’re BBFFs. :)
