Here’s the Linguist and the Comic making rice desserts with their Auntie!

one year later

Well, yesterday marked the one year point of my blog, and if you asked me to reflect on what I’ve learned in the past year, it would mostly be that writing takes time, and thoughtful writing takes time, reflection, and lots of editing. I’ve learned that setting up a blog can be as easy or as complex as you want it to be. I’ve learned that to get comments you need to leave comments. I’ve learned that children are an endless source of material, if I’m not too tired and my memory is working. I’ve learned that I don’t usually write lengthy posts.

In the past year, I’ve seen the rise of facebook, the advent of the tag, and the introduction of numerous social networking sites. I’ve discovered that I’m a joiner. :) I’ve experienced the thrill and the negatives of chasing pageviews and rankings. :(

I’ve made friends of total strangers, and overcome some of my inherent ‘I-ness’ and discovered my latent ‘E-ness’.

I know not what the future holds, nor where it may take me
If many years remain, or few
I simply know that with me goes the one
Who holds all hope
In hand

what’s in a name

Tired of calling my children ‘older’ and ‘younger’, or by J & T, I’m coming up with some new names for them. Taking a cue from Terri, I’m going to rename my children too.

J/older will now be “the Pondering Linguist”, and T/younger will now be “The Comic”.

There. That’s better.

how old are you, anyway

So I survived yesterday afternoon with the kids by myself. DW was at a bridal shower, and I took the kids to a birthday party and then a visit with my parents. When we arrived at their house, I snuck out to do a last minute errand (pay a bill at Future Shop). It was a hot day, so I stopped in at Tim’s for an ice cap before heading back.

When I got there the girls happened to be there to answer the door with my mom. Upon seeing my drink, J quipped: “Hey, did you trick us? Did you really go to Future Shop, or did you just say you were so you could get that?”

Doh! Busted! By my 4.5 year old!
