Wednesday in Portland

Crankypants! That's all I have to say! I am so not having a baby if it means I have to listen to crying and whining and all-around crankiness!!!!

Dropped Chris off at work, then went over to Sushi & Maki for lunch. Delicious and yummy sushi and Mommy and me. Mommy had to shovel though because SOMEONE was getting rowdy and whiny. Liz took her time and paid for the meal. We were going to shop around at Burlington, but we had to get Gavin home for a nap. Good little man was down for a good two hours!!! Bravo!! Mommy needs her alone time to read and such sometimes.

Would have picked Chris up at work, but he decided to work a bit later and Gavin had a doctor's appointment. Jetted over to the clinic. As soon as we got in to see the doc - Wail Wail Scream and Shout! Oh baby was Gavin a sad little scared man.... He was screaming up a storm. Had to turn around in my seat and rock his seat back and forth to try to get him to fall asleep on the ride home. Would have gone home before heading over to grandparent's house - but the BBQ was off for some reason.

Jen stopped by anyway to pick up mail. This meant Chris walked home from work. Oops. But we decided I would do my cooking and we'd figure Thursday out on Thursday. So, I started cooking and (in my humble opinion) made the best curry sauce I've ever made. Aside from the fact that it was nowhere near as spicy as I like it. But there were others that don't appreciate spicy as much as I do. Yes, the chicken and potatoes in orange curry sauce went over very well! Yeah me!!!

Sat down to some "So You Think You Can Dance" and got Jen involved. Evil grin. Writhing of hands. Chris and Jen went to sleep and I stayed up to watch Tep Koppel's thing about the similarities between China and U.S. economies. 'Twas quite interesting actually. Not a big fan of Ted, but the info was good to chew on. Went to sleep, but woke up at 6am because I was cold! I ran for my hoodie and fuzzy socks and went back to bed. Woke up three hours later - like a well-boiled egg. I need a certain amount of time in bed.

Today: perhaps the Zoo, perhaps not.
