I swiped a book of Emily Dickinson poems from the communal pile of books in the break room at work. I doubt anyone will miss it. Books just kinda end up there. Michael Crichton and stuff. I got my Janet Evanovich phase from that pile. I remember being ashamed of reading that silliness but it was soooo fun. Kind of like my Kardashians thing. I love them even though I know it's stupid. I think I just want their shoes and hair.
Anyway, thought I'd share a few tidbits of poetry:
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
A wounded deer leaps highest,
I've heard the hunter tell;
Tis but the ecstasy of death,
And then the brake is still....
I always figured I don't really read enough poetry. Amber Tamblyn (one of my heroes!) has a book of poetry out that I should probably pick up one day...eventually.
Anywho - I've got a new cousin! Johannah was born last Thursday the 20th at 6 pounds, 15 ounces, 19 inches, with a HEAD FULL of hair. She's soo itty bitty! I have a really hard time, even now, trying to remember Claudia that SMALL. C was a couple inches longer but I insist she couldn't have been so teeny. It's amazing that only six months later I'm forgetting what it was like for her to be brand new. I don't know if that's good or bad.
Something else good though - SHE'S CUTTING A TOOTH! I'm been looking for evidence of a tooth for a good month now, and she's been showing signs of teething for longer. I'M SO EXCITED!!
Another Wednesday in the can. THAT MUCH CLOSER TO THE WEEKEND.
XO,

Aww I'm sorry you're still not feeling well! Hopefully soon. At 16 weeks I literally had a 180 degree turnaround. maybe the same will happen for you?
