...where does that phrase come from? When was it a common practice to put cats in bags? I guess it makes sense in the observation that once out of a bag, any self respecting cat would refuse to get back in...but why is this behavior attributed to cats exclusively? Wouldn't a dog, hamster or snake make the same choice?
Anyways...we have an escaped cat situation over here - one which we are delighted to report! We are currently cooking a little something over here, in the form of a bun...and I am the proverbial oven. It's been KILLING me...KILLING ME to keep this secret for so long - but it was a decision we agreed was best for our family, and now it is SO MUCH FUN to share with our loved ones.
This revelation also allows me to share that one reason I've been laying around all lazy-like since January has been due to the developing Hansel or Gretel. AND that the reason I haven't worked harder to find gainful employment has been the realization that a job would be short lived, since we've agreed (like, back in early dating time) that we would try to have a stay at home parent for early years of child rearing.
I will certainly make a concerted effort to keep the focus of this silly little blog on the European Living Experience (that just seemed to call for capitalization) and not a blow by blow of my pregnancy adventures - although stay tuned for a little report about our adventures in German medicine, since it's a logical tie-in!
For those of you who are connected to me via Facebook, I have posted a really cute video of the Hubz when he learned of his impending fatherhood (just in case you missed it). He's been nothing short of amazing in the past months - starting with his really cute reaction caught on tape :) Sharing the excitement with our loved ones has been so much fun! I can honestly say I've never felt more blessed in my life.
Here's hoping that you all have such joy in your lives right now!!
