Pregnancy is not this "wow this is amazing!" thing that so many people seem to think it is. I mean, it's cool and all, but I can't imagine churning out kid after kid after kid. As it is, time seems ... http://michelle.ogre.com/index.php/2008/08/18/hanging-in-there/ It had to maybe happen at some point, but Leif and I decided to have kids, and lo and behold, I'm now 3 months pregnant. So far I'm not one of those "OMG OMG OMG OMG I'M PREGNANT AND HAVE TO TELL EVERYBODY I EVEN KNOW A TINY BIT" people, ... http://michelle.ogre.com/index.php/2008/06/06/first-kind-of-parental-thoughts/ Thor has definitely taken to Loki for everything related to playing. They're really funny to watch in the backyard. Loki retrieves the ball, brings it back and drops it at my feet. In that split second, Thor casually saunters over, takes the ball, and casually walks away. ... http://michelle.ogre.com/index.php/2008/03/19/loki-and-thor/ We seem to live in an age where people expect instant gratification, meaning they don't want to have to work for anything (I know several people who have that "sense of entitlement", even though they did nothing to deserve what they think they're entitled to). As a result, people ... http://michelle.ogre.com/index.php/2008/02/08/people-cant-read/ I just finished watching 13 Going on 30 last night with Jennifer Garner. Honestly it wasn't a half-bad movie.

For ... http://michelle.ogre.com/index.php/2008/01/21/going-to-band-practice/ This is Thor: As of yesterday, he turned 9 weeks old. We picked him up last week, the day after we got back from Cozumel from Merriman Labradors (Carolyn and George are great btw). Leif for some reason insisted on getting another dog, even though we already have 2. ... http://michelle.ogre.com/index.php/2008/01/18/new-puppy/ Over the years since we've had Loki and Odin, for some reason even though they're both 75-80 pounds now, they still think they're Lapradors. I'm not entirely sure why this happens, but it's like they don't realize how big they've gotten. Having them sleep in the bed is ... http://michelle.ogre.com/index.php/2008/01/02/new-dog-breed-the-laprador/ Photo from nhl.com websiteToday feels like Sunday, even though it's a Tuesday.
