Random Procreation Notes

.1. Last night, E had baby Kate. This is so exciting! Now she is the second of my girls to procreate. She was the second to get married, and keeping true to form, the second to have a baby.

Do think I can hear my ovaries crying.

.2. While E was being squeezed, we went out for my birthday dinner. Apart from spending a hysterical evening with three gorgeous women, the following particular moment stood out.

For the last several years, we’ve gone to this one restaurant to celebrate birthdays; although we have many friends who own restaurants, for some reason this one in particular has become our favorite.

Our waiter brought out fried ice cream and decided to sing happy birthday at the top of his lungs. God love him, he is completely tone deaf and without any sense of shame or composure he bellowed out the tune and I actually laughed my way through the entire ordeal.

The restaurant is very small and so the entire ‘audience’ stopped, listened, applauded (some actually whistled) at the end of our waiter’s explosion of song.

.3. I love opening presents. Even if they’re not for me (so watch it…).

.4. Today was day 12 of Ramadan, and fasting has been relatively easy this year. Am uncertain as to why this is, as we’re breaking fast at approximately 6:30 p.m. and that should make for a long day.

.5. I can’t believe I am admitting to this, but am already itching to leave Ottawa. Considering I have already traveled to three continents this year, I can’t figure out what the hell is wrong with me.

Perhaps am in search of something, even though I am unaware of it.

Maybe if I simmer down long enough, it’ll find me.
