yep, that's in reference to all of you people who are supposed to help me procrastinate by writing enthralling blog entries everyday...
i guess i'm guilty of the quietness, too....
nothing really to post, except that i have a hot date with my hot husband tonight :)
can't give any details about what we're doing because it's a surprise for him, too. all i can say is, what'd i say? for some of you (i.e., darren) that might be enough....

did you know...
that the Babies R Us maternity clothes section has no fitting rooms?
i thought about dedicating a whole post to that topic and all its absurdity...but i'm sure you can all imagine more or less what i have to say about it. i'm saving all my energy for the comment card i'm sending to Babies R Us headquarters. in case they actually read those things.
at any rate, i've thought about blogging several times lately, but the more i consider any potential blog topic, the less blog-worthy it seems. like the Babies R Us absence of fitting rooms, for example.
i did do a little reflecting over the last year and decided that, overall, it was one of the most fruitful years i've had in a while, though not necessarily the easiest. here's why.
in 2006...
-we had our first anniversary
-i wrote a 90 page thesis on Nuyorican poetry and mostly managed to enjoy the process
-i also managed to justify a 'research trip' to NYC for said thesis, with 2 of my favorite people ever
-i got a master's degree
-i rode the Goliath at six flags, probably the best roller coaster ever (while pregnant, unbeknownst to me)
-i started karate lessons
-i was in my first play ever (singing, no less!)
-i taught my first literature class, which was a relative success
-we conceived our first child!
not quite a top ten list, but i blame that on the decidedly UNfruitful summer teaching syllabification to third graders ("if you have one consonant between two vowels, first divide the syllable before the consonant and try a long vowel sound for the first vowel. Then, divide the syllable after the consonant and try a short vowel sound for the first syllable").
of course, we're looking forward to many more firsts in 2007, this time not quite so me-centered. first smile, first laugh, first tooth...we can't wait to see all these little miracles!
and now that i have done my new year's reflection post, maybe i will find more to write about soon. like how hysterically ridiculous Demetri Martin is. seriously, you gotta watch his new comedy show.
