The curse of the J*******r's
I admit, I am a bit prejudiced against the name Jennifer. I am sure there are a lot of nice Jennifers out there. I've even known a couple. It doesn't stop me from kind of wincing when someone says that's their name. If I'd have given birth to a girl and Jennifer was my only name choice, she'd have to be nameless maybe. I suppose it starts in high school as many pivotal bad memories always do. All I wanted was for boys to notice me. The girl getting a lot of notice was hip wiggling, come hither Jennifer. I can honestly say I was a lot more attractive than her. But she had that "vibe" that was the pied piper pull to many of the hormonally charged male population of my high school. I guess it didn't help that my parents were anti dating fanatics, limiting my options a bit. Then I later find out that the woman responsible for f-----g up my husbands head the most before he met me was named Jennifer. Before I met George, I was insanely in love with a man who eventually f-----d my head up forever after. It was a bitter pill to swallow, learning that the woman who was worthy of his eventual love was- who else, Jennifer, NOT me. I guess it's good that George and I met and repaired some of the damage for each other. Scattered through the intervening years there have been a few Jennifers whom haven't caused my teeth to grind. Jennifer J was a nice person. Jennifer D was a misunderstood, slightly unhinged, but deep down good person with a lot of hardships to overcome. When my best friend tells me her life is being ruined at work by someone named Jennifer, I think..."but, of course!!"

Thoughts of Spring
Tomorrow is the first Saturday in April. It happens to also be April Fools day. An appropriate day for the traditional "Hash Bash" that happens in Ann Arbor every year. A great day to drag out the camera and capture the people that crawl out from under the porches or wherever they normally hang out and hide while smoking weed. Usually this date is a cold one so it's kind of miserable for the participants. The cops are usually running around looking for law breakers and it's just great fun for all. I say that sarcastically but it is a bit amusing.
Today was Nate's 6 month baby check up and he's doing great. He weighs 23.5 lbs. He's therefore still 99th percentile on the chub factor. He's also kind of long so he's in the 92nd percentile there. In other words, he looks like he's about 9 months old. I hope when he crawls he burns a little of it off. As it is, it's hard to keep him in clothing that fits.
