My journal of organized chaos. (Can we put emphasis on the chaos?)

• Saturday at the gym… yes, the GYM.

  I dragged my butt to the gym today for the first time since, oh, March.  I came prepared - Sami down for her nap this afternoon, I had time to dig out my heart rate monitor and strap, charge up my iPod, and find the manual for my HRM (ha, I had used it very [...]

• My child is joy manifest.

  I haven’t had much time or energy for blogging lately, which is making me feel a little frustrated and sad.  There are things I just won’t remember if I don’t put them here.

• Weaned.

  The last time Sami nursed was Thursday evening (June 26.) It could happen again, but it’s not likely.
  Wow. I’m really still processing this.

• How to make soy milk at home!

  I joined the ranks of People Who Have Made Soy Milk At Home.
  My first attempt yielded a pretty weak product, though it tasted good hot and both Sami and I enjoyed it. Combining info from five or six different sources on home soy milk making (without a machine), here is what I did:
  1) Soaked [...]
