Time for the semi-yearly update. Hopefully will have time for this more often...

As many of you may not know, I gave birth to a baby boy by Cesarean section (aieeee!) on May 8th and have been fiendishly busy ever since, which is what babies tend to do: make your life crazy. His name is Celeborn Julian, he's tall and skinny, and he got red hair-- which was what I wanted. I can't even express how wonderful my little one is. He's nearly 10 months old and he's pulling up on the furniture. Also, the other day he said his first word. ("Mama," of course!) And the next day he said the second: "Yum."

In July I moved to Madison, WI; it's a nice town and it's far enough away from both sets of parents that it's very comfortable. I've been reading a lot as well as taking care of my son; I'm not working and I must say, though I wouldn't want to leave him, it's pretty boring being home all day. It's good that I have a project. My fantasy novel is going quite well at the moment; I think I'll have a complete draft by August. Around that time I'll probably be looking for "beta-testers".

Today I went with my family (Chris, Celeborn, my parents, my sister and her boyfriend) to see the Body Worlds 2 exhibit at the Museum of Science & Industry. Bad-fucking-ass. I got to hold a plasticized liver! Hooray for organs!

Hmm. I can't think of much else. It's hard to condense an entire year. Lazy Em!

Oh yeah-- I think everyone should eat a big slice of chocolate cake, chase it with a White Russian, and enjoy the sugar high. :)
