Good Evening Humble Readers...
It's been a trying evening, but now I am home, in my pyjamas, cuddled up on the couch with my Beloved, my puter, and America's Got Talent. (Does anyone else thing that it's hugely ironic that none of the AGT judges are American by birth?)

It has been raining cats and dogs here for the last two days. Yesterday we had tornado warnings to the south of us, today we had wind gusts up to 90km. We've gotten 130mm of rain in 36 hours. It's cold too. We went from upper 20s and low 30s (that's celcius folks... and damn hot!) down to 7 this morning. Brrrr!

I have 8 very itchy mosquito bites! I am trying very hard not to scratch.

Today was busy from the get go... I had a chiro appointment, then a Dr B appointment (another good bp day). Then home for an hour or so, then off to work. And because it's raining buckets it was pretty busy. And the second half of my shift was full of big and small irritations that made me very Very grouchy.

And because I was cranky, all I really wanted when I got home was a slice of the chocolate cake that I made last week... if you haven't checked out the recipe yet, you MUST... only to remember that we polished it off a couple of days ago. Bummer! I'm going to have to make it again for my Beloved's birthday next month.

I am facing a quandry, Humble Readers. In the next month, three of my favourite authors are releasing new titles (one is already out, actually). Part of me wants to stock up before we go on vacation, so that I have stuff to read, but most of me knows that I'm going to be staying up late most nights talking to my mom and not doing a whole lot of reading while we are out there.

And speaking of vacation... I am so excited to be going 'home' for a week! I haven't been home for two and a half years (far too long considering it's only a 9 hour drive) and I miss my mountains soooo much! Not to mention my family! And on the list of must do's for while we are in K-town... a trip to Wr.ap Zo.ne for a Leaning Tower of Pesto! Yummy!

If you've made it this far through this tedious whiny post... you deserve a gold medal! Hobbit points all around!
While I might not be a hobbit genetically, I do believe that I am one culturally. A homebody at heart, with a fear of (but slight craving for) adventure, who values simple things like good food, good books, and good friends. Chronicling the journey of the unlikely pairing of a Hobbit and an Ent, who have travelled down the road through infertility & RPL, toward building our family. We've come a long way, and now with two precious wee-lings in tow, our road goes ever on and on...
