My Little Project

by Andria Kay Olson Posted on August 29, 2008

Here is what I have been working on.  A baby!  After almost two years of waiting I am pregnant.  The little O-let will be here this winter. 

Pregnant Andria

I feel Like I have missed all of the summer, spending my time being nauseous and sleeping.  I have not cooked or baked anything, my e-mails from all of you have gone unanswered (I am so sorry for this.  Please forgive me.), and my favorite blogs have gone unread.  I am looking forward to autumn and cool nights.  Even though I am in the second trimester I don’t feel well yet, so I am holding out for the next season to be better than this summer.  Thoughts of caramel apples, knitting, pumpkin pie, lentil and sausage stew, and walks through the woods keep floating into my mind.  It’s almost here.  And then, soon enough, a little one will be too.

Have a wonderful holiday weekend and I will see you in September!

Birthday Girl

by Andria Kay Olson Posted on August 1, 2008

Today is Olive’s third birthday!  I wanted to fill up a Kong to give her something special to chew on (she normally doesn’t get Kong’s).  I looked and looked for the rubber toy all over and finally found it upstairs under our bed.  I brought it downstairs and gave it a squeeze and out came a plume of dust, like stepping on a puff ball mushroom.  Spores!  Inside was a petrified piece of peanut butter bread molded almost beyond recognition.  The last time I filled up the Kong was probably in May.  It has been fermenting under my bed for three months!  Aaacckkk!!!  I tried to dig out the dried lump of bread but it kept smoking out mold dust so I just stuck the toy in a bowl of water to mush it back up.  I’ll try to clean it out later.  The worst part is Olive saw me futzing with the thing now she won’t budge from her spot in front of the sink.  She is staring at me sitting on the other side of the counter and is  huffing and whining.  You’ll get it later, I promise pups.

So I am on a once a month posting routine that I so foolishly said I would get out of last time I posted.  Some things have come up in the last month that I have been working on.  I hope to share them with you in the next couple of weeks.  Please stay with me!
