Just want to let everyone know that I'll be offline again for awhile...not that I've been online much We need to cancel our cable and internet service so that we can save up for me to get my own laptop. I've been wanting a laptop for a few years now and I have really had it with sharing one computer.

I won't go into detail but I feel like I'm competing between my own amusement online and demands of motherhood during the day. In fact, Talea is screaming right now as I'm typing this message.

Having me time on a laptop, kicking back in bed after Talea goes to bed will be worth the down time.

I can still get online every once in a while at my friend's house.

Thank you all for your support^^

I saw "This Is It" It was divine I was long over due for a time out and I got it Now my legs are crossed^^

Still didn't catch the little bastard who stole my bike but I think I'm close. I did a composite drawing of him.

I got my fucking bike stolen this weekend! It's a 1969 Schwinn Derailleur that my uncle gave me when I was 13. I made a police report, put it on stolenbikeregistry.com, and wall papered Pendleton with "stolen bike" flyers. Even though I have another bike that I use and let Randy use the Schwinn because of it being a boys bike, the sentiment is still there and I have just ridden it recently. He was a blonde curly haired white piece of shit. OMFG! The little turd peeked at us through our sliding glass and waved and then disappeared in the laundry room next to our apartment and hid for the longest time. We thought his behavior was really weird...the next day, we found the Schwinn missing. It was partly my fault...I forgot to lock it I really hope I get it back but I'm afraid it's another one of those "waiting to exhale" situations

We had to go to Elgin where Randy's grandmother is because her husband fell and broke his femur and had to have surgery but he's recovering well.

On an up note, Talea is crawling and her bottom right front tooth popped through! I noticed the tooth next to that is emerging and Randy noticed a touch of white on her upper front gum. No wonder I'm sore from breast feeding!

I'm trying to get back into my art and photomanips and stuff...it's been hard because it's been a never ending circle of housework, baby, laundry, and cooking. Randy finally did some stuff, including cooking. I'm still not sleeping all night yet. I feel sorry for moms who have to work and do all that. I couldn't do it.

I sure would love to have a laptop but, naturally, I don't have the money for one.

Talea's asleep on Randy's lap and he's watching "Joe's Apartment" and I'm taking a time out and drinking some beer.

I got to have some time to myself this morning. Talea had her 6 month well baby check yesterday. She's 16 lb 10 oz!! I started her on rice baby cereal mixed with breast milk about a month ago. She loves it. Since then, I noticed her hair really coming in. The doctor said that she's old enough for some fruit and veggie puree and a sippy cup. I tried some green veggie and brown rice baby puree yesterday but I don't think she liked it.

I've been getting out and rollerblading everyday to get the damn postpartum baby pudge off. It would be easier is my damn feet would quit getting water blisters.

We're going to see The Guess Who in Hermiston either next Friday or Saturday. I wish David Bowie would get off his hot lazy ass and come to Hermiston and perform. We've had Blue Oyster Cult, Joan Jett, and Edger Winters come there.

Keeping the house clean is a never ending but losing battle.

I can't believe Michael Jackson is no longer with us!! I got sick to my stomach when they announced it This is so not real

On an upper note, Talea is 4 and a half months and almost 15 lbs and has grown 5 inches since she was born. She figured out how to roll over this last Monday.

We had some vintage family photos taken today. I can't wait to look at them

I'm still working on this other Bowie photo manip. It's just taking me forever.
