Well, it's 2004... All 22 hours of it so far. So far, I can't complain about anything. Spent new years eve and the midnight celebrations amongst good friends and spent tonite with family with the usual pork and sourkraut for dinner. I for one did not touch any of the sourkraut. Supposedly it brings good luck, but I have never eaten it and seem to be doing fairly well for myself these days.
Last night, Claire passed along an interesting piece of wisdom to me. She told me what her mother told her last year at this time. She said that this is now the year in which your baby will be born. Hard to imagine, but I'm very excited about this prospect. Karen is even starting to show as we had to go and get maternity clothes at the mall today and last night just so she could go out. I'm really starting to enjoy this time, and I know it's driving her nuts :) But that is my job.
Stacey also brought a present for "Fern" to dinner on Tuesday nite. I was worried that she found a bib with a picture of a fern on it or something similar, but it turned out to be an Elmo book from her sister's childhood. Thanks Stacey! Please don't get any ideas about making something for "Fern".

Pork and sauerkraut rocks. I prefer it the big soupy way, but I'll take it however I can get it. Why don't you eat sauerkraut? Just stubbornness or don't you like it? Try it, it's yummy!
Posted by: stacey at January 2, 2004 10:35 AMI have tried sauerkraut in the past and just don't like it. Especially the smell, but I did get past that once and actually tasted it... never again! And thanks for not pointing out my spelling mistake (sourkraut) like you usually do :) But i'll beat you to it this time and point it out myself.
Posted by: doug at January 2, 2004 12:17 PMOh, I saw it. And I almost wrote SAUERKRAUT in glorious capitals to point it out. But I changed my mind. ;)
