Miss me yet?

Yeah, all three of you who actually read this drivel!

Any-hoo....Here's the update:
- Still pregnant, 14 weeks now, almost 15 actually
- Not sick anymore, turned the corner just in time to devour enough Turkey and trimmings (and pie) to gain ALL the weight I didn't gain (or gain back that which I lost, give or take a pound or two) in the previous 12 weeks.

- Current craving? Haagen Dasz chocolate, got any for me?

- CVS test results: am carrying one chromosomally healthy baby girl. Yes, you read correctly, I am having yet another girl, proving again that God has a sick sense of humor. Spend my life as a tomboy, very few female friends, not even all that sure I'm that wildly crazy about women frankly (well, some of them are marvelous, but as a gender, we have some pretty irritating traits, fondness for gossip and pink and pretending to be nice amongst them), and then I have the privilege of giving birth to not one, not two, but THREE of them, two of whom are, so far, the coolest people I know!

- Yes, we've picked a name. This is me remember? Where would I be if I had to endure not knowing her name for the next 6 months? I'm supposed to refer to her as "hey you" or something? Oh, what is it? Her name will be Catherine Elizabeth, Cate for short.

- No, you may not *remind* me that John Edwards has a daughter by the same name. I'm well aware of it, and I don't really care. A great name is a great name.

- Politically I'm not asleep at the wheel here, just not posting b/c I'm not sure where to start after such a long hiatus (isn't it always the way?). I suppose I could just START, but honestly, I'm a little weary of the whole mess right now. It's the holiday season, I'm enjoying the whole decorating/baking/gift buying and wrapping gig with my kids--I might actually be ready in time this year--and turning on the news or reading it online is a buzz kill most days. I'll keep my eyes and ears open though, and if anything happens that trips my trigger, you'll be the first to know. Until then, just picture me dancing around like a fool to Mariah Carey's "All I want for Christmas" (my girls love it, sue me) and baking cookies like the good little conservative Hausfrau I pretend to be. That will either make you laugh or puke, but given how many calories you're likely to consume in the coming weeks, I'll still be providing a service either way (yes, even laughing burns calories).
