Incongruities

• After years of going to yoga class two or three times a week up until the day before I went into labor, I finally bought a pair of real yoga pants this summer, because the stretch capris I had been wearing for yoga didn’t fit anymore. I have only gone to yoga class once since Zebediah was born almost nine months ago.
• I teach at an institution of higher learning. There is a lot of construction going on right now. In front of one major path that is blocked off, there is a large sign that says:

Pardon our dust.

Rome Wasn’t built in a day.

Neither will State U.

Somebody tried to help by adding a “be” (Neither will State U. be) but this was apparently considered a heinous act of vandalism and was carefully painted over.

• I don’t let Zebediah eat anything that falls on the floor, but he crawls around all day on that same floor and sucks on his thumb or fingers or hand much of the day as well.
• I decided on my choice for the Democratic nominee about an hour before we went to vote in the primary. We also went to the caucus, and now I am an Obama delegate to the county convention.
• I am barely writing anything on this blog, yet today I found myself thinking about setting up a professional blog under my real name.
