Lesson #10: Don’t Screw with the Stork’s Flight Plan

Apparently, the stork (See Lesson #9 below) diverted his flight plan south of the equator because of the record December snowfall in St. Paul, MN.  The stork pilot has had significant issues triangulating a new route.  As a result I have become bored, which, by the way, is not hard to accomplish.  As a result, I’ve taken to several projects around the house like reupholstering the dining room furniture,

making a pillow with some left over upholstery fabric,

reorganizing the cabinets and junk drawer,

trying out some new recipes and bringing back some old faithfuls (good old bachelor soup), 

changing out the foam padding in the 35 year-old bassinet that my aunt made for me when I was born, and has since seen 15 babies in it, now returns to me for the little guy who is lost somewhere with his stork pilot.  It had that strange nuclear orange color to it, and 15 babies urinating and pooping on it over the years, so I thought it was ready for a change,

reprogramming the alarm system in the house, formatting and editing Jessie’s CV/résumé/job application, adding 100 push-ups and sit-ups into my daily routine, and most important writing 2 blog posts in a week.  Never thought that would happen in 1 million years.

Now I am setting up a color-coded spreadsheet to organize and deploy a search party for the waylaid stork.  My sister, Sarah, and her partner, Jose aka Vito, who are heading back home to NYC today were interested in heading-up the search earlier this weekend prior to their departure.  I wasn’t willing to pay anyone overtime on a holiday weekend though, so it will commence during regular business hours tomorrow (Monday).  Sign up below if you are interested.  

I’m soooooo bored. 

P.S. I’ll save someone a comment (likely from my sister-in-law cassie or becky) by saying ahead of time, “I know I won’t be sooooo bored when I’m not sleeping any more and have a little guy around the house in a few days pooping 16x/day.”  Don’t worry guys, I can’t wait.
