• We received our stroller as a gift this weekend, so when we got home, I immediately put it together, put George in it, and then tore around the house with it. I had to test the handling and maneuverability, right? George didn’t like it so much and figured out how to jump out of it. We really dig the stroller, though. It’s super light, folds up easily nice and small, handles well, and is orange.
• Why doesn’t anyone sell replacement plastic shovel heads? All of the shovels that I see in Home Depot have plastic/poly heads, and while they work well and are ergonomic, they also break after one of two heavy snowstorms. Rather than having to pay $20 for a new one, why can’t I just buy a replacement head since they just snap on anyways? Anyone know where I can buy them? I currently have two broken shovels that I’d rather not have to replace.
• We finally watched An Inconvenient Truth this weekend. It’s an impressive film, considering that it’s basically just a glorified Powerpoint presentation, and it’s not as if we needed convincing of the importance of changes that need to happen or the real crisis that the world is facing. But it’s really well done, makes it’s points in a clear and understandable manner, and it’s amazing to see Al Gore so passionate about something. If he had only shown that sort of passion back in 2000, this country would be in a very different place.
• The frequency of visits to bars has diminished to practially nothing over the past couple of years, reserved mainly for meeting up with friends for drinks. And I’m totally OK with that. I feel all old now, wanting them to turn the music down, and is there some place we can sit down? I don’t want to have to stand. But a vsit to a place like Lucky’s every now and then is ok by me. It sort of has that speakeasy vibe to it since it’s in the middle of nowhere in Fort Point Channel, which also makes for easy parking. Plus, having a build-in designated driver is always nice now.
• Sometimes, you just need to give in to that chocolate chip cookie craving. Especially when you’re seven months pregnant.
• Yes, we watch American Idol, and yes, I’m getting great pleasure out of the ongoing horrendousness of Sanjaya. At this point, with no one interesting or attractive left, it’s the only thing about the show worth watching. It’s like watching a big girly-haired trainwreck.
