Girl Blogger

OK, so you saw my email yesterday about the new blog and now you're wondering if this one will be kaput. Not to worry, all 5 of my beloved readers, I'll still keep this one going about non-baby stuff... or baby stuff I don't need all my relatives to see (like the photo of me in my "Knocked Up" t-shirt - the only maternity-related apparel I've purchased - that I plan to have Craig take as soon as my tummy gets a big bigger). :)

My Mother, the Activist

And I wondered what my mother would do in retirement. She takes her Community Board responsibilities very seriously and has spent the last several weeks fighting to get the city - both the departments of environmental conservation and transportation - to respond to the growing sinkholes on the street where I grew up.

Her actions have caught the attention of the Bronx Times Reporter (search for "seymour") and 1010 WINS news, who did articles about the sinkholes. She's also been interviewed or contacted by the New York Times and NY-1 and and MY9 TV news. Go Mom!

Stealing My Thunder

The other day, Jenn gave me a hard time for not updating my blog. (I will not comment on the fact that she goes weeks between posts on her blog. Just trust that I was rolling my eyes while she chastised me.) She did have a point, though, so yesterday I shot a photo of Craig tiling our bathroom with intention of a blog post on my handy hubby. I just downloaded the shots from my camera and the photo was strangely absent. Hhmm, why would he have deleted it? After being puzzled for several minutes, an idea came to me. I surfed over to his blog, and lo and behold, he had used it for his own post. And beyond that, he went on to talk about our visit to my folks in NYC and even linked to a review of The Police concert we attended. Hello? He's supposed to be doing a remodeling blog?!?!

So readers, I have to apologize because I really don't have much else to add. Here's hoping I can trump Craig before he steals my thunder the next time.
