Is the checker at Wal-Mart really serious . . .

. . . when he asks, “How are you today?” Keep in mind:

a. it is barely 4 am. I am in my pajamas, looking only a half step better than death.

b. one of my hands is holding my right ear, which is giving me the worst pain I’ve felt since labor. The other hand is holding $20 worth of over-the-counter drugs just praying that one of them will stop the pain.

My eardrum burst, and as of this afternoon, I’m now on real, doctor-prescribed meds. Whoop whoop!

A couple of you living outside of the Denver/Boulder area have asked to see some photos of Colin. Let’s turn this post a little more upbeat with some images of my beautiful/super sweet/always-keep-me-on-my-toes son. These are from a recent trip to the park.


Don’t you love fat little baby hands?? I especially love those inverted-baby-knuckles-dimples. Anyone know the real term for those??


(I think there was a dog off to the side, which explains his intense gaze NOT at the camera…) :)

  1. OUCH! I am sorry to hear about the ear! I have never anything like that happen. Still no baby.. due tomorrow but it only 10pm there is always hope! =)

  2. Oh I’m so sorry about your ear. That happened to me a few years ago, and let’s just say I’m really grateful for a leftover prescription of vicodin I happened to still have. It was the only thing that got rid of the awful pain. I feel for you and hope you get better soon!

    Colin’s adorable!

  3. Hi Ang! I found your blog through your link on Facebook. Beautiful blog and pics! Hope you are starting to feel a lot better! :/

  4. Oh man! That stinks. I’ve blown my eardrum too and it hurt a lot. The strangest part was how I couldn’t hear right for a couple days. Anyway, good luck! Hopefully, you’ll feel better soon.
