A random assortment of thoughts

Thought No. 1: Thanks to everyone for their kind words about the condo. We are very hopeful that this deal won't fall through. I'll have Christopher post more details later today or this weekend. (Being Christopher, he's already drawn out a scale blueprint of it on a pad of grid paper, with notations for size, etc.)

Thought No. 2: The farmer's market yesterday had cinnamon basil, so I made a big batch of genovese pesto. Then, because Christopher doesn't really like genovese pesto, made an artichoke and lemon pesto and we had fresh ravioli (from Dave's Fresh Pasta) and a big pile of some sweet ruffle-leafed lettuce called, according to the girl at the market, "Black-speckled... something."

I love August. I love genovese pesto. I feel certain I'm spelling that wrong, though.

Thought No. 3: Here's a picture of May with her godmother.

Nikki came over last Friday, which is why it rained that day. The humidity is why May's hair has that funky baby-'fro thing going on. Nikki, ever the attentive godmother, has found us a paint called "kinder paint" that has none of that bad stuff that makes that new-paint smell so toxic.

She found it on the super-cool baby stuff site: BabyGadget.net. You should all check it out. It's a blog, which means you're well off checking it every now and then. It check s out all the new baby stuff out there, ranging from the absurd to the sublime. And then there's the sublimely absurd.
And finally, thought No. 4: Saturdays are meant for naps.

What's more, Nikki found the baby blog site off of feministing.com, which is a really interesting blog about the absurd and sublime of being a woman.

Thought No. 4: Saturdays are for napping.
