Feast Day of St. Thomas Aquinas

"Better to illuminate than merely to shine, to deliver to others contemplated truths than merely to contemplate." 
- St. Thomas Aquinas (today is his feast day)

So it's been a while...

Ok. So it's been awhile since I've posted anything on this blog.



Had my 4th child last September. Baby boy. Growing up nicely. Not fussy like the rest. Am nursing him and still have my troubles with maintaining milk supply. Rented the Medela Symphony and it's quiet and efficient. A heavy thing that takes up the corner space on my ever-shrinking desktop. I need it though when I am out for a couple hours. I try to pump late at night when baby's asleep (and everyone else!).

Does anyone else have little mounds of yarn balls and skeins lying haphazardly around their house? I do. I've been promising myself a cream-colored crocheted beret about a month ago. I had to re-start it because I followed the instructions wrong. It started looking like a flower or a little doll dress. I just pulled it apart and began again. Alas though, it's been sitting on the floor of my bedroom near my nightstand.

I recently received as a gift a package on instant Vietnamese coffee. And it is yummy good! I then later bought a similar pack of Philippine instant coffee -- a B minus. The Vietnamese is the way to go!
