calgon, take me away...

another round of random from yours truly...

...36 weeks and a day. word on the street is that the last 2 months of prego 2 suck a**. THE STREETS DON'T LIE. my body conks out on me every day just after taco settles down to sleep and huggy kicks into overdrive. i usually end up hunched over, hobbling about or leaning on walls, jala1 or the goob for support. rolling off the couch is especially awkward.

...the other infuriating part of this stage of prego is clumsiness. whilst i can't claim to be the most coordinated (though i can pat my nose and rub my tummy at the same time), i drop something causing a mess most every day. its usually glass and is followed by barring taco and goob from the kitchen which in this casita makes a 1/4 of the living space off limits to them resulting in its own aftermath. meow meow meow

...jala1 and i were fortunate enough to score comp tix to a tech rehearsal of "shrek, the musical" over at the 5th ave. i'm a sucker for a musical and this one was no exception. for this particular show it wasn't the song and dance that wooed me. sim to the movie, it was funny and clever and appealed to both adults and kids. the set and staging stole the show.

...babymoon2 was exactly what we needed. i hadn't been to portland in a decade and was surprised at the pearl district transformation. jala1 likened it to our own south lake union. Its a lovely neighborhood to spend an afternoon but i wouldn't want to live there. i'm all for denser living close to downtown but there's something claustrophobic about a newly spawned neighborhoods lacking racial and economic diversity. on the other hand we had some damn good food at park kitchen. other weekend highlights were cuban food at pambiche and spa afternoon at ummelina. oh so relaxing.
