I have blogged less this month than I think I ever have. This is because I was first making fudge and then making a Captain America costume. Most of the fudge efforts have already been consumed (possibly my favourite comment: “It tastes like poetry.”), and the costume is now done. So yes. That’s what I’ve been doing. I have some vague hope of returning to more regular blogging in November. While I’m doing NNWM. #headdesk :)

Young Indiana: STORM! Can you please stop the rain? *rain stops* (srsly, got a whole lineup of superheros now. the invisible hulk (which is like my…
exercise room :)
So my dad has converted the garden shed at my parents’ place into an exercise studio, with a weight bench and a stationary bike and free weights. I said heck, I was going to just start going over there to exercise! “Good idea!” Ted said brightly. “It’s even a gym that provides childcare!” *laughs and laughs* My parents thought it was funny, too, but I just like imagining the look on Mom’s face. :) Actually, Ted also said “All it needs is a dance barre!” and now I’m all thinky.…
