You Come 'Round Here Often?....

I've slowly made some friends here. A few weeks ago, I met a woman at the Korean hair salon of all places. And last week, I chatted up a mom at our neighborhood park. Making mommy friends is totally like dating. And as I was never very good at picking anyone up back then, I'm equally terrible at getting numbers of potential mommy friends! I find I'm usually the one to wait for the other person to ask. But I've met some pretty cool moms so far and am looking forward to getting to know them.

Also, I've been considering taking on some kind of work again. Not that I have time really. I find that even with ESK's regular nap schedule, I still don't get as much housework accomplished as I like. Today, I still have a pile of ESK's dirty laundry sitting on top of the laundry machine, I have no idea what's for dinner, and the floor needs to be swept again (I know this because ESK's belly collected an inordinate amount of dirt after her a.m. cross-apartment crawl).

As for ESK, she's learning new tricks every day. Just yesterday, I went to collect her from her nap, and she was sitting up in her crib, just waiting for mom. I have no idea how she got to that position.

She must have pulled herself up to sitting! Any why don't you have enough time? It's called bap & gim everyday! Ha ha... I can't see you following that advice :P

Aghhh!!! i could just eat her up. figuratively. :) oh, it's so amazing to see her grow and develop because she will always be just a little ahead of our little piglet (who's not so little anymore)

as for meeting new friends, i can't imagine anyone worse at it than i am. i too am pretty passive about it. today, i was on my first "date," and it was a bit awkward, but we're going to meet up again. hopefully, these chages will help all of us feel more "settled" here.

oh, i had more to say, but i'm being beckoned.
