Six Quick Takes.

1. Fayettteville is not exactly a lovely city. It is filled with tattoo parlors, "gentleman's clubs," and strip malls. On the positive side, though, it has BOTH a Target and a Barnes and Noble.

2. I just saw possibly the most unfortunate mis-usage of quotation marks on a billboard:
First Baptist Church - We "Love" Everyone.

(!!??!!)

3. I have the best husband ever. I was having a bit of a rough day yesterday, and he sent me flowers at work (a mixed bouquet that included irises and the roses that are yellow with pink edges), and drove to Fayetteville so I could see him. He also brought our dog with him, so I could see her too. I love that man.

4. I delivered 3 babies yesterday! It was definitely the busiest day I've had. Yay for delivering babies.

5. I just got the best skirt ever from Target. It's jersey knit, stretchy, feels like pajamas, but looks nice.


See what I mean? I have a feeling I'm going to be wearing this one all summer long. (And it cost only $15! Score!)

6. I can't think of anything else to write. And my husband is in town, but leaving to drive back home soon, so I'm just going to quit here and get some lunch with him.

It's always bad when people think quotation marks are meant to emphasize something, but that one's "really" bad.

And that Jeff? He's pretty great. Glad you two got some time together!

Giveaway

I've been watching in amazement for a few days as the links over here keep growing and growing with people who are hosting giveaways. The last time around I didn't participate, but now that things are slightly more settled in my somewhat crazy but wonderful job I thought I'd make an offering. The softies I make don't quite compare to amazing things you might see here or here , but I still think they are pretty cute. All those who leave comments will be entered to win the homemade softie of their choice, either an owl : (You can pick the colors you'd like, from a list of colors I have.) Or a penguin : Who will come with sunglasses, goggles, and a winter hat. (Because every good penguin should be prepared.) You can also pick (from a limited list) colors for the penguin's hat and glasses. I'll hold the drawing on Monday, since I'll be on call on Sunday, and the post the winner on Tuesday. Feel free to leave in your comment any favorite crafty blogs -

And Then There Were Three!

For all those who have been looking for news... we have news! It's a boy!!!!!! Judah Anthony Tell was born last night at 6:15 PM. He's a healthy baby boy with light brown hair and bright blue eyes. He was 8 pounds, 4 ounces, and 22 inches long. Both Judah and Aubrey (and Jeff) are doing well. "She bore a son and said, 'This time I will praise the Lord .' Therefore she called his name Judah. " Genesis 29:35

The "Go" Bag

Our bags are packed and in the car. This, I assume, ensures us several more days before the little one arrives. :) Even though my bag is already in the car, I decided to do some research on what the mighty expert known as Dr. Google would have to say about it, just to make sure I do have what I need. There were obvious things, like something to wear home, something for the baby to wear home, a toothbrush. (These I could figure out for myself.) Then there are some outdated things. For instance, almost every list I saw told the dad to bring "change for a payphone, calling card, and a list of phone numbers." Since when does someone these days need change for a payphone? Every 15 year old pregnant patient I've delivered has either made a phone call or sent a text with in minutes of giving birth. Even my Mennonite patients use the cell phone in the delivery room. And they all also still say to bring camera and film . Which also seems like a somewhat quaint suggestion. I did se
