Lessons from Atlanta and what rabbits can teach us

Things I have learned while in Atlanta:

1)  It takes me approximately 5 weeks to drink 150g of Inka.

2) Goat cheese goes well with every vegetable.


3) Spinach + quinoa bread: promising, but don't double the amount of spinach the recipe calls for. Maybe it needed goat cheese. 

4)  I am an insomniac. It goes away when I am comforted by being able to steal the covers off of someone else. Or maybe it is just that Alex is such a drain on my energy that I have no trouble falling asleep at home because I am so exhausted at the end of the day.

5)  Alex does a good job doing the farm chores. And the world doesn’t fall apart and everything still functions when I am away. At least I’m assuming it does. I still haven’t seen what the house looks like yet.


6) Eating chocolate is a good way to pass time.


7) Oh yeah, I can't live without Alex.


 Also included in this edition: Reasons for being a rabbit, especially relating to motherhood

1)      You are only pregnant for 30 days.

2)      Labor: no big deal.

3)      1 week olds do just fine outside in subzero temperatures.

4)      They only have to be nursed ONCE A DAY! (And you can do the whole crew at once, so no big deal.)

5)      Benign neglect, people: ignore them and they will grow up juuuuuuust fine.

These are all philosophies I could see myself embracing.
