It’s hard to believe that it was only/already one year ago that I first met baby OLE. Well, that isn’t completely true — I actually met him a month earlier but he wasn’t quite ready to be held or have adoring fans quite yet. He was pretty cute at first to be sure, but now he is head-explodingly more so. It makes my ovaries ache. Not enough to have my own baby just yet, but it makes me kinda want to hide all of my friends’ birth control so I can have an never ending supply of tiny, nappish, pot roast-shaped people around whenever I need one.
…has your leetle Keem gone? Oh where oh where could she be?
I’m back, after a 2 month hiatus during which I healthied up, relaxed/made the best of unemployment, fell in love, and started my new job. I’ve been asked by more than one Loyal Reader when I was going to start writing again. I think that being home (and therefore online) all the time for most of the summer made me feel like I had nothing to post on the Gurgle, since every time I had a delicious thought or something to share I had any number of hardworking online friends to chat with immediately. But now that I’ve been on the job for a month, I’m starting to feel the disconnect again. That, coupled with the resurgence of blogging from friends, has inspired me to make a better effort here.
Stay tuned.
I haven’t written anything in a while and that really is a shame, as there have been many post-worthy things happening – birthdays and weddings (well, one super-awesome wedding that had multiple ceremonies) and adventures and illnesses and other delights. Ah well, can’t put the toothpaste back into the tube as they say, so we shall just forge ahead and hope that the Gurgle doesn’t get clogged up again.
Today I saw two guys teaching each other how to ride their unicycles in the park. I think it is nice when people find each other, don’t you?

Sooooooo. Because the last day of classes was yesterday (yippee!), I didn’t have to go to my Thursday night class today. To celebrate I decided to go for a bike ride on my awesome new bike. As I was unlocking it I noticed a woman in the alley behind my building, crouching on the ground. She looked up at me and just then I noticed that she was crouching next to a tiny yellow birdie.
Sort-of-long story short, this woman was afraid of the bird and I’m a crazy animal lady, so I agreed to take the bird in while signs go up seeking the owner. Of course, I couldn’t let the lil’ guy stay in a shoebox all night, so as I sort of hemmed and hawed about what to do, Friendly Gardening Neighbor Lady walked by and said her ex-husband had a cage that I could use.
So now I have a bird in a cage in my house. Magellan is vacillating between hysterical startles and nonchalance. The bird is adorable and terrified and currently sleeping under a sheet. I am in danger of gaining a new pet, as I’ve already named him Simon.
Here starts the holidays, full of driving and visiting and eating and talking. Rock on.
