Things are slowly beginning to settle into place now. My sister is getting married in just four weeks, her fianc\u00e9 just got a new job (“So now they don’t have to live at the Jimmy Hale Mission,” Mom says), and Steven will be a college graduate in a little over two months. It’s been a crazy-ass year, and I’m ready for it to be August.<\/p>\n

Earlier I was doing some exploratory research shopping online for my boss’ daughter, who will celebrate her first birthday in a few weeks. In my quest to find something normal, and yet unique, I came across the cutest baby blanket. <\/p>\n
“Man, Cathy needs to hurry up and have a baby, so I can get her this blanket!” I mused. It’s definitely right up her alley, but I won’t go into too much detail on account of her faithful reading of this site.<\/p>\n
So come on, Cathy, pop me out a niece or nephew so I can get you this blanket. Better yet, I’ll make it myself if I ever learn to sew. It can’t be too terrible hard, and now I have incentive to learn.<\/p>\n

Uhhh, not that this has ever happened to me, of course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
