the gun show

today i was driving home, and i kind of rubbed the back of my upper arm and i thought, 'what is that?' it felt like a huge knot in my arm... and then i reach around and realized that it was actually muscle.  muscle that i've never developed, maybe in my whole life.  it was so foreign that i didn't even know what it was. then i looked down and realized i was at a gun show!  what?  when did those get there? apparently, toting around a 20 pound baby has given me super human qualities.  i've also lost about 40 pounds in six months.  weird.

in other news (mo will die if he ever reads this, particularly if he reads it in his teenage years), our little son found his little giblets this week.  he explored them with proper attention last night, and for some reason, i felt proud.

love,
