peanut butter, the granite state, & bundlesacks

dang, i just dropped a jar of peanut butter on the floor. it shattered and left a glassy, nutty mess. happily, that's only the second thing i have broken during pregnancy, the first being a jar of salad dressing in a philly whole foods whilst visiting dre. i have heard being preggo makes you a clumsor--something about loosened joints?--but i guess my breaking-things record remains about the same as when i was drinking, i just remember it more now.

so anyhow, peanut butter: i have read a lot of alarmist stuff about how eating peanuts whilst expecting can give your baby peanut allergies. i eat a ton of the stuff. while she was still working at that nonprofit events planning place, gromies attended a food allergies ball. the gift pack included soy nut butter which sat in our cupboard til it got buggy. that and an epi pen. j/k.

anyhow, peanut allergies? skyrocketing autism rates? plastic-induced endocrine disruptions? what happened to good ole fashioned consumption and cholera? j/k again.

in other news, what about that new hampshire, ehhh? at least hickabee didn't seem to have done too well. i sat next to a 17 year old on a recent flight. he opened a conversation by dissing jeb bush, so i was thinking the kids are alright, but then he started professing his support for huckabee. ugh. despite my obama bumper sticker, i'm pleased that clinton doesn't seem to be down for the count just yet. i'm not ready to see her go. good thing north carolina has no say in the whole matter, what with their primary being in may and all. guess i'll ride this one out spectator-style and then put in my completely worthless two cents four months from now.

what else? my sweet cousin sent us a big box o baby stuff today. one of my favorite pasttimes is sorting tiny objects, so i'm excited to organize all these clothes. the little bundlesuits with the mitts that flip over the hands really get me, as do the hats. i need to work on my terminology if i'm gonna fit into this new demographic. bundlesuits? i dunno . . .

Don't worry about that re: replacing visit down south, I've been dreaming of fantastic squirrel deaths for MONTHS now.
