November 2011 Snapshot and Open Thread
| November 30, 2011 | Posted by Issa under Blogging |
November is ending, which means NaBloPoMo is ending as well. I did it! I made a post every single day this month. Whew! In case you missed any of them, here are the highlights: Way back at the beginning of the month, I wrote about the Occupy Movement. I explained why I like to use the word fat to describe myself and in my fat activism and talked about loving my body simply because it’s my body. I am especially… Keep Reading
Sheep Back Together Again
| November 29, 2011 | Posted by Issa under Animals |
I previously posted about our ram troubles. Joshua and I had sequestered Buck in his own enclosure so he couldn’t bother the ewe who wasn’t wanting his attention and so he couldn’t be aggressive towards Baby Jeebus 2. One attempt to move Buck back in with the ewes didn’t go well. Joshua and I had been talking about our options but hadn’t come to any conclusions yet. Then it rained all day Sunday and the… Keep Reading
Finding the Transitions
| November 28, 2011 | Posted by Issa under Parenting |
Dylan is just now getting to the age where I have a lot of experience with kids. I’d only ever cared for a couple of kids younger than him, but the older he gets the more experience I have. There are some things that are different about older babies or that I want to do differently with an older baby that isn’t right to do with a younger baby, but I’ve never been through the… Keep Reading
Dylan’s First Food
| November 27, 2011 | Posted by Issa under Parenting |
Dylan has become very interested in food. As I said in my post about momsicles: When I’m eating he carefully watches my every motion and is bothered when he can’t have whatever it is I’m having or do whatever it is I’m doing. He wants to put everything else in the world in his mouth, too, so I’m not certain that he knows something different is happening with food, but since I won’t give him… Keep Reading
A Look At C-Sections
| November 26, 2011 | Posted by Issa under Pregnancy and Birth |
I had a c-section. I didn’t really have a lot of processing to do afterwards. There was nothing traumatic about the experience for me. Nonetheless, the post See Birth at mamalooma has a lot of raw, real parts that I can identify with. (Emphasis original.) I had Expectations. I had envisioned this amazing, empowering she-woman lioness roaring in the forest moment. Instead it was really scary, abruptly surgical, and cold. It’s hard to feel like an amazonian lionness giving birth with… Keep Reading
Phone of Cute
| November 25, 2011 | Posted by Issa under Just Pictures |
I love having a phone with a camera. I can take pictures of Dylan all day long. If you follow me on Google+ you’ve seen these before, but here’s my dump of cute pictures off my phone. Click through to see the full photos. Keep Reading
Cousins
| November 24, 2011 | Posted by Issa under Relationships |
Visiting with my family last weekend reminded me of an old favorite topic of mine, which is the classification of different relatives. Many people get confused by the way we label cousins. Is she your first cousin twice removed or your second cousin once removed? “Cousin” just means a blood relative or someone you share an ancestor with. Some positions have more specific names, of course, like those of your parents and children. A lot… Keep Reading
