After about nine years, we have finally painted over the vegetables that some gay man thought should line the walls where they meet the ceiling in the kitchen.  The only reason I have ever given any credit to this display of creativity gone awry is because he actually used real vegetables, dipped them in paint and smushed them against the wall.  He tried.  He failed, but at least he tried.  If you didn’t know there were actual vegetables used, you’d think it was the glue left over after someone took down some bad vegetable motif wallpaper strip.
In addition, the decks have all been painted, the front of the house is repainted with subtler, more modern colors and we have a fully refurbished front stoop and all new stairs leading to said stoop.
And now we are going to move out.  Great.
 
 

Just a note to say that Calliope ate a full helping of my home made spanish rice this morning.  I made it about four days ago and it doesn’t taste much like spanish rice, but it is actually quite good.  I’ve been trying to give her some everyday since.  She loved it when I had just finished it and it was still hot off the stove.  And then finally this morning!  It makes my day to make something for her and have her like it 🙂

We went to BJ’s Brewery in Colma for lunch today as a way to spend time together in our new car! We ordered Calliope her own meal for the first time ever. She had grilled cheese and steamed vegetables. Of course she ate several large bites of the grilled cheese, none of the vegetables and mostly French fries from my plate!

Today, Michael and I went to the P.O. Plus in the Castro and had them notarize our certificate of Domestic Partnership. It was the most unceremonious process in the whole world, but at least we were acknowledged as the 1,691st couple to do so at that location. We are doing it for tax purposes and insurance purposes, but admittedly we both were feeling a bit romantic all day… One day we will get married and have a larger celebration sharing our love with all our friends and family.

Hanging out in nothing but a bow, her favorite toy is the tiny apple remote…

Went and saw the gorgeous doc today.  Just for a flu shot follow up.  It seems we didn’t schedule the Sears spread out vaccinations for this month, so we get to go back next week.  He also informed me that he takes baby aspirin and fish oil everyday which he thinks is part of the reason he doesn’t get sick anymore.  I’m gonna try it out and see what happens!

Well, I’ve tried to use this blog the last couple of days and make it a habit.  I truly want to have these entries for Calliope when she gets older.  I think they will be interesting for her to see, especially the pictures.  However, my iphone app isn’t cooperating at the moment so none of the pictures I keep posting are making it to the blog.  Very sad indeed.  But I’m sure Michael will help us out with this as soon as he can get the time.

So instead of celebrating our anniversary during the week (we were both so exhausted) we are having brunch at the Crepevine. Crepevine has definitely supplanted Squat&Gobble as our go-to brunch spot.

Since Wednesday night, Mikey and I have been waiting for ‘The Call’.  Wednesday night, our birthmom texted us saying that she was starting to dilate and efface.  So we’ve been in this constant state of waiting since.  Every time one of our phones ring or beep, we jump thinking that this could be the call.  It hasn’t been yet, so we’re still waiting.
