Philotic Web

Thank you Zero for all the hard work. I want to come back here. I miss you guys. I also started a discord server because I hang out there a lot. I guess anyone who makes it in here is fine to see the link: https://discord.gg/EeMRay6 It's half chat/half forum. I don't want to replace pweb but it's li...

Yay! Congrats on the impending new raisin person!

I'm sorry for my part in it. I genuinely never thought I'd be one of "those people".

I have nothing to say that will mean anything, but I'm so, so sorry. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

What she said! I have a hard time making time too. I've been trying more, lately.

Rivka likes to bounce up and down in my lap. If I escape this phase without a broken nose or split lip, I'll be thrilled.

She's also 6 months old and almost sitting on her own WHAT.

Thank you again for all the hard work you do.

I've found the opposite to my pizza dough problem - Japanese curry roux. Mastered perfectly in one half-assed try. BAM!

Tonight was cheesy corn dip with taco hips. Yum. But I'm so dang proud of myself, I finally mastered chapattis! In terms of breadlike objects, they're pretty basic (flour, water, optional salt, rolling pin, fry pan), but getting the thickness and moisture just right, and the fry pan just the right h...

As with every year, I don't have time to NaNo. But despite that, last night I was writing character sketches and outlines anyway. So hurrah!

Had a pretty devastating day yesterday. Thank you to the people who helped me through it.

Hey Bob (and pweb in general, I guess). It's been a while. So what's been happening? Well, I now have a 5mo and 3yo kid both to chase after. They get along pretty great, but it's hard to balance their needs, especially since I'm so tired. AND still dealing with the thesis. I just finished a chapter,...

Well, I failed right away and wanting to make a post daily. But I'm gonna keep trying.

Love the way sleepy Riv spreads herself out on me and cuddles. Love the way Nom can make her laugh. Love that Nom already thinks of them as a team.

Also love all the gin and other booze we got given recently.

I don't know how or why but I've somehow become a lurker. Pweb is my homepage, so I'm always around, but I haven't posted in over a month! That's me too! I just so rarely get time to sit and write without guilt, between the two kiddos and the thesis which takes up so, so much energy. But I miss it ...

Woo hoo! Good on ya, Alea!

Hi Satya! (Had actually just been thinking of you, as I was going to post about a recent anime watch, but then got distracted.) **** I would take ALL the veggies, buckshot. We are so not proud, nor wasteful! We never did get any blackberries this year, since with the wee one it was too complicated g...

Dear You,

Three years ago today. We make a damn good team, wouldn't you say?

Love your face,
Me
This makes me smile!!!

Me too! D'awwwww!

"Harvest" time here too! This year I'm keeping track right from the start. We've picked two of our apple trees (not ours, but we "dibsy" them by getting to them first, ha!), a bunch of hazelnuts, helped a friend with her apples, got two kilos of sloes so far (lots more to come!),...

Spam baleeted.

That would be cool, but he does medieval parks and gardens, so it'll be more on the lines of "look at this ditch, this is a significant ditch". LOL

I have a stash of secret quiet places we sneak off to, when we got done kickin round the woods last week we went over to this tiny old tavern that makes the best sandwiches ever. It's just across the idaho border in the middle of nowhere built into a hilside and the creek runs under half of it you ...

It's been five years, WHAT?

Happy anniversary, Rei!

I love kisses goodnight from Nom. I love kiss anytime from Nom. I love tea. I love how much she adores Riv. I love my grumpy, demanding, snuggly, beautiful, little baby. I love getting to dress her in the rocketship sleeper. I love the little nicks in her earlobe, the pattern of hair on her forehead...

I put Thing One to bed tonight without Rei to wrangle Thing Two.

Also, we have internet at home this time!

Rebekkah Rowan Spyker (nickname: Rivka or Riv) was born 20 May, 8:25am, weighing 7lb 15.5oz. I am well, she is well, and we're home and settling in some. It's going to be quite a while before I can write a coherent birth story, but if you birth story junkies absolutely need your fix, I'm happy to ch...

I have folded ten diapers. It only took me an hour and a half?

I've become very fond of Sainsbury's yoghurt, mostly for their lemon flavour. I rarely see Liberte here, so I have to go with what I can find. Also, I have a pot of blackcurrant in the fridge that I'm excited to try.

I think the technical term is symphysis pubis dysfunction, and it's connected to the generally looser joints you get, but localised and painful.

Yeah, leaving it for a surprise.

Kelly, don't apologise! And thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the link, Kelly! She has the most adorable expressions, and I love the one at the conservatory where she looks like she saying "You wanna go?" And don't worry, I also take only about a million pictures, often in rapid succession. I always feel a little amused when I buffer the t...

Yet it may amuse some that Nom seems to regard "tree" as a valid gender. When asked if she wants a girl-baby or a boy-baby, about half the time she will reply with "a tree". I thought this was specifically a baby thing, but last night when asked if her doctor would be a boy or a...

Oh GOD I cannot wait to no longer be pregnant. I so hear you. Who are these people who apparently enjoy it? (Sorry if that is someone reading this, and I am intensely jealous of your enjoyment.) Nausea and smell sensitivity, sciatica, back pain, abdominal pain, waddling, boob-growth, SINUSES and the...

Awww, Nomi! You look so adorable with him!

And congrats again, Kelly, she is beautiful!
