yea for mrs. bee!
my sister-in-law mrs. bee-- the one who has had so many unfortunate health "episodes" in her life that you are once and for all able to confidently declare that "life is not fair" because she's suffered far more than any one should, especially when that one is a cute, witty, brilliant brunette -- got sent in an ambulance and then a helicopter to the ICU with a wicked case of meningitis. things were really scary for a few days there, hence my lack of blogging activity, and we just triple-crossed our hearts and said our prayers that she would pull through. life just wouldn't be right without mrs. bee. she's the vinegar in our family barbecue sauce. (that doesn't mean she's acidic; she just brings out the tangy flavor in our family.) anyway, we were much relieved and grateful to hear that she is now talking and even doing some walking. the road to recovery will be long and hard, but for now things are looking better. let's just hope that this is the last "episode" with anything involving hospitals or brains or comas for a long time to come. you hear that, mrs. bee?
whole foods friday!
me and the mister are all about whole foods pizza these days. it's cheap and fresh and requires no napkins to soak up a layer of cheese sweat like delivery pizza often does. we like the sausage and mushroom pizza, but with toppings like spinach and feta cheese even the big, fat greek lover will find something to savor. just call up your local whole foods, wait 20 minutes and enjoy a pie that's a balanced meal instead of a greasy indulgence.
rocky mountain high!
i'm going to be getting me some of that soon, mr. denver. (who i hope had more reasons to love colorado than his name.) after much debating and pro/con list-making, i've decided to head west with my man. we leave in a week so i may not be able to blog much while i try to figure out the little details. you know, like where the heck are we going to live, and how the heck am i going to be able to drive across the country without having to take a potty break every 10 minutes?
wisconsin: more than cheese!
i just returned from a little jaunt with mrs. pea into wisconsin, which is only 40 minutes away. near the border we stopped at the jelly belly warehouse, where took a tour ... (nothing to fly out here for, folks) ... and perused the gift shop. for only $2 a pound, i was able to pick up 8 pounds of jelly belly flops, which are the odd-shaped beans that never make it to a bag. for candy elitists, that might be a problem, but i'm an open-minded sugar freak. i love beans and bellies of all shapes and sizes. we're all brothers, after all.
baby dub is a ___ ?
only two weeks or so until we can find out whether our little one is all x's or a little bit y. i have my feelings on the matter, but obviously we would be thrilled either way. i'm just starting to wonder if there's another baby hiding in there because my bump is starting to bulge. (the doctor has confirmed, however, that there is only one baby in there, though you never know. maybe it has a pet.)

I'm glad you knew what to say about our in-common in-law, because I sure didn't. I just read yours and cried. I'm still crying, in fact. You'd think I'm the pregnant one.
