I’ve spent the day feeling like ass. I have been congested and achy and coughing. Also, the toe of my right foot, the foot on which I had surgery last year, has been paining me something awful. And the new devil’s food cake recipe I decided to sample for a cake I’m making on Saturday? It decided to go ahead and fuck me. By falling apart. Once it was out of the pan. And yes, it is possible that this is somehow my fault. Like maybe this particular cake needed to stay in the pan for a bit to cool. So I jumped the gun by removing it. Too soon. But sick bakers don’t always think clearly. Particularly depressed, sick bakers.

And so, I’m avoiding further failure tonight by participating in a meme. I was tagged by Bri at Unwellness. Here goes:
The Rules are:
Link to the person that tagged you
Post the rules on your blog
Share 6 non-important things/quirks about your kid
Tag at least three people at the end of your post and link to their blogs
Let each person know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog
Let the fun begin!

1. Sophie can read the word transforms, but gets stuck on words like saw.

2. Without fail, every morning, John and I have to list her breakfast options. She refuses to remember that it’s either cheerios or waffles. And sometimes oatmeal.

3. Even when she’s glued to the television, Sophie won’t/can’t sit still. I have actually seen her do a full rotation on the couch, wherein she is inevitably looking at the t.v. with her head hung upside down for five minutes before beginning to right herself.

4. Sophie is incredibly honest. She doesn’t lie and can’t bear to do it. Yet.

5. If you let her, she will go days without bathing. But once she’s in the tub, good luck getting her out.

6. She’s only just now learning to play with toys. She has had no exposure to commercials, ever, and thus has not been brainwashed to believe that toys are as wonderful as children are supposed to believe they are. And we, apparently, are shitty parents in this department.

Hmmm…I don’t know many people with children. And those parents I do know, don’t blog. But I’ll go ahead and tag Ali (whose recently given me the gift of good music), Amy (who doesn’t know me from Adam and might very well be way out of the scope of my blogosphere), and Becca (whose blog I’ve recently begun reading and am a little bit obsessed with at the moment).
