Lots has changed in the D. household in the last few weeks. Namely, the sleep situation. If you remember I was pulling my newly grayed hair out over the sleep, or lack thereof that had been occuring, oh, just since Lyla was a neonate. Since I last wrote it has gotten better and better. Now she usually goes to sleep within seconds to minutes with very little, if any, crying. And I can assure you, there is a lot less crying in our household overall (from me as well!). Also she's now sleeping through the night from 8:30 - 6 then nursing for 10 minutes and sleeping till 8:30...can I get an A-MEN?!? I am suddenly discovering what its like not to be teetering on the brink of meltdown everyday, and I must say, it's quite enjoyable.

The other big news around here is that we put an offer on a house (eek!) It's absolutely gorgeous and as long as the mortgage works out, it looks like we may get it! Unfortunately, the mortgage is a big source of stress around here. Tom is English. Tom doesn't have a credit score. Tom has credit originating from the car we bought in December. The payments STILL aren't showing up. I have called everyone and their mother at Equifax and Toyota and asserted that ignorant people in India and dumbasses in Alabama are both a huge source of disdain for me. We are now PAYING to put these things on our credit report. Thanks a LOT Toyota! Bastards. Lame.

But hopefully we shall find out by Wed if that gives Tom a credit score and if we can get a mortgage. Here's some pics of the house...I will be so bummed if we don't get it because I seriously want to make out with the back yard. Seriously.






And, perhaps most important: I made carrot cake. from scratch. That's right, what started out as a bunch of carrots and flour and sugar, etc, became a moist delicious cake that was nothing if not profoundly spiritual. I decided to make the cake due to three carrots residing in my fridge for far too long... I am concerned that if I continue this line of thought my next cake will be a green pepper/red onion cake. I don't think even Martha Stewart could pull that one off. However this cake was amazeballs! Enjoy the yummy picture below.

That's all for now. Stay classy San diego.
