There Is No Spoon

As expressed by my husband this morning upon finding out the baby is another GIRL.

It's absolutely for sure this time. The baby decided it was tired of being called a boy so she flipped around and put her but up in the air for everyone to see what she was made of.

The technician was trying to be diplomatic and waited until it was perfectly clear what the gender was before revealing her observations. My husband could see it quite clearly on the screen and as we were leaving announced that she must be blind, because he saw it almost as soon as she put the "wand" on me.

I was afraid he would be upset.

He was hoping for a boy worse than I was, passing on the family name and all that, but he took it better than I expected.

"Well, I suppose that means we need to start thinking of girly names again."

That's a good thing, mind you. He is usually pretty narrow minded about things, and very opinionated about everything else. I expected him to tell me we needed to try again.

I couldn't handle three kids, I'm not THAT patient.

I get frustrated with just one. Two is going to be hard, especially when they're this close together. But three would likely push me over the edge.

I'm actually kind of relieved that its a girl. At least I'll have a little practice with girl things. Like diapering, potty training, grooming, emotional issues, etc.

And they can share a room and I can keep my spare bedroom as an art/craft retreat. :o)

Now just 4 months to decide on a name.

I may live in the country, but I sure know where to work.

Today for lunch my friend and I were fortunate enough to hear (at the last minute) about a FREE concert to the Fort Worth Symphony. They preformed Beethovan's Symphony No. 1 in C Major, Opus 21, and The Three Olympians by Contemporary Composer, Peter Boyer.

This was an impromptu concert (they are still practicing and refining the pieces) and was extremly casual. We were in the Van Cliburn Recital Hall of the Bass Proformance Hall, where they had chairs in three rows around the performers and within feet of the conductor, Miguel Harth-Bedoya. A very enjoyable person to watch and listen to.

After every movement he would stop the orchestra and explain what the composer was trying to convey, and also point out different things that the composer did to make the piece different.

This is the second "Symphonic Café" I have attended, and feel it brightens the day and lifts the spirit to be priviledged enough to be there. Its also VERY relaxing to hear the music live and up close.

It makes me really want to learn to play the Violin I received as a Christmas present several years ago.

Anyone know a Violin teacher for cheap???

In visiting Anne's page I realized I most resemble the Hermione Granger character type.

Not being satisfied, I followed a few links finding another quiz on Pam's page and was much happier with the results...


Harry Potter Personality Quiz by Pirate Monkeys Inc.

I have taken the Kiersey Personality Sorter before and came up with the same "INFP" description so I am fairly happy with these results.

Incidentally, INFP stands for Introvert, INtuitive, Feeling, Perceiving.
