Hello everybody!
Baby Story of the Day:
I have a cute picture of the babies in our bed this morning, so this will be a great opportunity to share our daily wake-up routine. Every morning I wake the babies by bringing them from their bed to our bed, letting them lay under the covers with the light on for a while. I require a smooth wake-up process in the morning, so I try and make theirs as smooth as possible as well.
It’s funny how they both have such different transitions from asleep to awake. Sebastian wakes up quickly: in the amount of time that it takes me to move him to my bed he has usually requested his juice and race car 3 or 4 times. After downing a sippy cup, he’s wide awake and ready to start messing with his sister. Meadow on the other hand usually isn’t awake until I get her in my bed and start talking to her. Since I have the light on, she generally requires 5 – 10 minutes of full-body submersion under the covers to start interacting with the living world. A usual conversation in the morning is,
Me: “Alright Meadow, it’s time to start getting dressed.”
Squirming lump under the covers: “Five more minutes!”

CrossFit Ramblings of the Day:
I actually skipped the gym yesterday and went to Home Depot to get the materials needed to make gymnastics rings. They are used in CrossFit to do a variety of exercises, but they can be horribly expensive and you have to order them online. So last night I made some myself. Here’s the quick version of how: I filled the 2 ft sections of PVC with sand, capped the ends with duct tape and baked them for 9 minutes at 350°. Once they were cooked, they were soft enough to bend in a circle and place inside a pot to cool and harden. Then I strung 3/8” rope through the center to complete the circle and used lashing straps to hang them. It was surprisingly easy to do and pretty cheap at roughly $25.
Today's workout, Eva, was horrible. I was only able to finish 3 of 5 rounds in roughly 41 minutes. Check it out at the blog that my workout buddies keep. http://infidelcrossfit.blogspot.com/2009/02/set-aside-some-time.html
Political thought of the day:
I won't even touch on Obama’s speech becuase, to me, it didn't sound any different from what he's been saying for a while - the economy's bad but America can overcome, etc. But Governor Jindal actually impressed me last night, which made me start to ponder. It would be really interesting if he runs for president in 4 years like people are speculating. Imagine an election without a white person running. Imagine the political climate towards Democrats in Washington if this enormous Stimulus Package doesn’t work. Imagine the possible straining of relations with nuclear-armed Pakistan, or at least with individual Pakistani’s, if we had a conservative, Indian-American president. Well these are all just thoughts, but regardless, I was impressed with him last night. And I’m a pretty liberal person who Baracked the Vote by the way!
