My friend Sarah had a homebirth today of a 9 pound 4 oz boy! Awww, and is he ever cute! So everyone, welcome Javier Sabastian to the world!

I’ve got [looking] 7377 words right now. According to my spreadsheet I have to write 4285 more words today to be caught up to the 1666/day pace. Anything over that would be gravy, and you know how I love gravy.

In the land of “I don’t think that’s physically possible” local news station WCVB’s website has the headline “Police Not Sure If Corpse Was Murdered” Gosford Park, anyone?

I have to laugh…if you do a Google Search for “ride the clutch” my little snippet from my novel appears on PAGE 1 of the results.

My unfinished novel is already making its way out into the world!

You know what’s interesting? Trying to make sure you enunciate so a child knows that you’re saying TH instead of F when he’s sitting behind you in the car. They sound very similar, quite frankly. This morning’s word was “North.” He was trying to tell me that one of the little girls he goes to daycare with lives in North Dakota. Now normally, that would be strange enough, but he’s at the age where he’s sounding out words to figure out what the key letters are. In this case, to him, the TH is the dominant sound (as opposed to the N).

I think we got that straightened out just in time to talk about how someone in North Dakota wouldn’t drive all the way to Massachusetts on a daily basis.
