update on random stuff

1) I heard tell that a lot of folks ate some sundaes last week. I even heard they were good! Thanks for all the email reports! (We had sweet cream/cookie dough ice cream and hot fudge here. It was delicious.)

2) We now have a new roof and new insulation. It's hard to believe how incredibly quiet it is now that this banging is over. Even the dogs are exhausted.

3) It ain't over 'til it's over. Next week, I get to see a drywaller and a painter again--some of the roofing did a wee bit of damage on the inside of the house. Some day, all this renovation will be over and I will have a whole day without banging, noise, or disorder...(at least, while I'm still pregnant...I know toddlers offer all of the above.)

4) I'm still healthy, in week 31 of the pregnancy, and big as a house. More news on that another time, I guess.

5) I am slowly, slowly, finishing up a handknit black sweater. My swollen and sore hands don't enjoy sewing anymore either, so it is slow.

Hope you're all well out there. I see people are reading the blog, but don't hear from many of you. Wanted you to know all is fine here. Next time, I'll even try to post a photo...

Sundae Sunday!

Did you know that the ice cream sundae was invented 119 years ago today in Ithaca, New York? Learn more about it here! The professor and I are considering celebrating this important birthday together later. We met in Ithaca, while we were undergraduates at Cornell. One of our first dates was at an ice cream parlor. We're serious about ice cream around here...it's snowing/raining/slushy out today in Winnipeg, but we wouldn't let a little ithacating get in our way. We're thinking of an ice cream sundae date later. Celebrate with us! Tell me about the delicious sundae you had today?
