this is weird and sad

but my miscarriages have both happened on dear friends' birthdays.

Hello, bittersweet.

And, of course, un-incidentally, today was the day I had my d&c for
Beulah, our first lost-baby. I don't think that's the date of the
actual baby-loss, but it's the date I can remember. ...I almost wrote
more, but it seemed to get gratuitously poignant... but we do love all
our children. That is all.

I love this sentence.

"While depression involves heavy burdensome feelings, despair is not
correlated with any particular set of emotions but is instead marked
by a desire to get rid of the self, or put another way, by an
unwillingness to become who you fundamentally are."

This does not mean I endorse anything. I just like the sentence.

FYI

if we win this game, iris is going to church in her MSU outfit.

dee-licious pizza!

yet another post about food.

THis time, though, Kroger has made it, not me. We LOVE Kroger Private
Selection [freezer] Pizzas. They are fancy and good--and smaller than
regular ones. I tried to get a picture online, but I couldn't find
one. Right now, they are two for seven dollars at our I-55 Kroger.
That's how much they cost when we discovered them, and then they went
up to two for ten and we stopped getting them, but for when you need
a lazy meal and don't have to feed a lot of people, I recommend them,
heartily.

The end.

delicious

I wish I had more of my lunch--I made it myself!

It was black-eyed peas, canned tomatoes, a whole onion, butter, salt,
pepper, and lots of Tony Chacheres, simmered for a long time. I also
made some cornbread. It was slightly overdone, but still tasty
crumbled up with my dish.

I'm not sure if that's a dish that already exists--I know I had
something in mind when I made it, but it turned out like nothing I had
ever seen or tasted. It was much better the second day.

/end food brag

But it is REALLY good and I am still hungry for some.

I don't have any words.

Good thing we didn't try to get married in Tangipahoa Parish.
