Thank you again everyone!

Thank you for all the birthday wishes for my sweet little one. I hope to respond to everyone soon. I need to share more pictures of my almost toddler. I truly can't believe how big she has gotten. She had her official 1 month weigh in and is 16 1/2 lbs and 28 1/4 inches. To put that in proper perspective, that makes her bottom 25% for height and bottom 3% for weight.

Last week I asked reynardine to give me some questions for a meme and I'm finally getting around to answering them lol Also, reynardine, while out for a walk with the baby we saw a red fox cross the road right in front of us and I thought of you!

Comment to this post asking for a list, and I will give you four things I associate with you. They might make sense or they might be totally random. Then post that list, with your commentary, to your LJ. Other people can get lists from you, and the meme merrily perpetuates itself.

Here is the list she gave me:

Subaru/Kamui

I admit, I have to thank isachi for my love of the pairing, and her version of the pairing is far from the WAFF most people want to envision. And let's not even get into the one time I was involved in a Subaru/Kamui fan-fic since it never went happily. It is a pairing I can enjoy, though oddly enough I'd say Kamui is the more mature and together one of the pairing. I am open to most Kamui pairings though (even het ones like Kamui/Kotori) if written in the right way. XD; Funnily enough it took R2 of Code Geass to both give me a greater appreciation for Subaru and to give me an appreciation for Seishirou/Subaru. lol

Connecticut

It's funny, growing up I always thought of CT as full of rich people, because most of the communities near the shore are extremely wealthy *cough*Greenwich*cough* But at the same time, I knew my great grandmother and some of her family had a farm out in Colchester, CT. Hubby and Baby were both born in CT and it's funny but I've come to really love living up here. For me Danbury was always associated with the mall and its indoor merry-go-round, but now I appreciate so much more. I honestly am not sure I would want to live somewhere else, despite difficulties and the fact I will always have my NY accent. lol

Kosher

Growing up we use to keep Kosher in the home and not outside the home. So, yes, I've had a lot of those non-kosher meats at one time or at least had the opportunity. But keeping Kosher always gave me a strong awareness of food and what was in it. It also set us apart, particularly at Passover. I still remember being 6 or 7 and not being able to get ice cream from the ice cream man with my friend Maria because it was Passover. Now we're vegetarians, so we keep a certain level of Kosher by default. Having kept Kosher before really helps with being vegetarian because it helps you to be aware of some of the things to look for on packages (i.e. gelatin.)

Blue Fairy

Blue Fairy is probably my favorite maker of ABJDs. I can not think of a line of theirs I do not like. My first BF doll was actually a PF Choco I overpaid for because at the time BlueFairy was on sabbatical and PFs were selling for insane amounts. Dolls in general were much harder to come by back then. I still remember when I placed my first BF order, I had to pay via bank transfer which was such a pain! I do like some other companies (LaTi and I sort of like my Pukifee more than I ever expected.)

So, with all this talk of Nanowrimo, I know I am not writing anything, with the baby my computer time is more limited, but I think I am going to try to work on getting 5 items for sale every single day. It's not the fastest method, but I need a kick or I am never going to have room to break out the sewing machine and save my vintage Barbies from the must. >>;
