Like Mother like Daughter

This morning while packing Gabby's lunch I asked her to save her peach pit if she remembers so we can try planting some. At which point she gets real excited and says she has one and runs to her room. While she is doing that I go to my room and get a twisted napkin from my purse.

She and I met back up in the dining room unwrapping our prizes. Mine in a napkin Gabby's in what appears to be a tissue. Upon seeing this Alex pipes up:

"Wow, anal retentive much? You both are nuts."

I proudly produce my pit and help Gabby unwrap hers.

You guys the kid had managed to split the pit cleanly in half to where you could see the insides. That was AWESOME!

I just couldn't help but be impressed that we were on the same thought train yesterday with trying to preserve some seeds to plant. She has also claimed the pits from two avocados so she can grow her own trees (as in literally claiming them I had just cut the avocados for sandwiches and set the pits aside and she grabbed the pits before they got washed off and asked Alex for toothpicks).

I have a peach and nectarine pits to bring home today, I wonder if she saved any of hers....

I seriously <3 (heart) this kid!

Can I also say I am grateful my child likes to try new things. That she loves Spaghetti Squash. That she took a Bacon Avocado Cheese sandwich to school... because that was what she wanted! She is just as curious and eager to try the Butternut Squash I bought as I am. She loves to try new cheeses but doesn't care for Swiss yet, but is a big fan of Aged English Sharp Cheddar. She has requested I get some sprouts so we can have sandwiches "like those ones we had that time at that place?"

I love that she is getting to the point where she can request dinners even if I have to play twenty questions to find out what she wants.

Last weekend

"Mommy, can you make that thing you made for dinner yesterday?"

I didn't make dinner last night remember? You were out with Daddy and Grandma Elsie.

"Yeah I know. The night befores dinner?"

Umm... why don't you describe it to me.

"It had pasta, little veggies and shrimp. Very Yummy." (seriously you should have seen her she was talking with her hands and making the cutest faces)

OH! Yesterday's lunch!

Hmm.... A post that is pretty much all about food. This is proof positive that my apatite has returned! Mostly life has returned to normal with minimal baby side effects. I'm still passing out around 9:30, SUPER motion sick sensitive, hating smells with a passion and various other minor things, but I'm not as crabby and *gasp* I'm hungry again AND I don't ALWAYS feel like ass warmed over!

Can I say one of the suckiest parts of living in TX? Where the heck are all the Community Gardens? With the price of food and economic short falling there should be WAY more than the ones I have found. But that is a tangent for another day.

What's in a name?

I found this site and decided to give it a try. http://www.kabalarians.com/index.cfm/cfm/Your.cfm

So far I think it has been pretty accurate (at least it was for my name especially the last one). You know you are going to try it so let me know what you think.

Teresa:

While the name Teresa creates the urge to create harmony with people, we call attention to the fact that it causes a restless intensity that defies relaxation.
This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the fluid systems, and solar plexus.

Your name of Teresa creates a desire for association with people and new experiences, many of which have been rather bitter.
This name has given you a gregarious personality and a quick-thinking, creative, and versatile nature, but one that is very emotional.
You desire change and travel and would enjoy opportunities that allowed you to be creative and to act independently, rather than to conform to system and routine.
However, this name does not allow you to complete your undertakings, as farther fields always look greener.

Alejandro/Alex:

Although the name Alejandro creates the urge to be both logical and technical, we emphasize that it causes an unscrupulous, materialistic approach that frustrates higher humanitarian qualities.
This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the elimination system and reproductive organs.
The name of Alejandro gives you a practical, shrewd nature with interests in business and the world of finance.
You judge most things by their material value and you are usually pre-occupied with seeking your own financial independence.
You desire to be in a position of leadership, for you can see where all the details fit into the overall situation and you have analytical and organizational ability.

Although the name Alex creates the urge to be reliable and responsible, we emphasize that it can cause a superior, interfering expression whose favorite expression is "I know" when not combined with a balanced last name.
This name, when not combined with a balanced last name, can also frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses through worry and mental tension.

Your name of Alex gives you a clever mind, good business judgment, a sense of responsibility, and an appreciation of the finer things of life.
You are serious-minded and not inclined to make light of things even in little ways, and in your younger years you had more mature interests than others your age.
Home and family mean a great deal to you and it is natural that you should desire the security of a peaceful, settled home environment where you can enjoy the companionship of family and friends.
Whatever you set out to accomplish you do your very best to complete in accordance with what you consider to be right.

Gabrielle/Gabby

While the name Gabrielle creates the urge to organize and work with others, we point out that it causes an over-emphasis on material things that frustrates higher humanitarian qualities.

This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the fluid and reproductive organs.

Although your name of Gabrielle gives you a good appreciation of material values, business ability, and skill in organizing and managing others, your success is limited at times, by a lack of self-confidence and initiative.

This name brings out a practical, composed quality, with a strong desire for a good standard of living in an environment where you are in contact with distinguished, successful people.

You try to further your interests through pursuing the association of people with influence.

Although the name Gabby creates the urge to be creative and original, we emphasize that it causes a blunt expression that alienates others.

This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses through tension or accidents to the head.

Your name Gabby has given you tenacity of purpose and has made you extremely independent.

Whatever you undertake, you approach from your own point of view, and others either have to conform to your ideas or go their own way and leave you to work things out for yourself.

You are so narrowly focused in your pursuits that you frequently overlook the little personal considerations and attentions that create a bond of understanding and sense of companionship.

Thus it is difficult for you to merge your efforts harmoniously with others.

Which got me to thinking, if this is a boy what of some of my top names?

Nicholas (Alex will not let me drop this name.)

Although the name Nicholas creates an interest in the deeper aspects of life, we emphasize that it causes an emotional intensity that is hard to control.
This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the heart, lungs, bronchial area, and nervous system.

Your first name of Nicholas has given you a clever, deep mind and the talent to excel in highly inspirational lines of endeavor as a dramatist, musician, writer, or artist.
You can be lifted by beauty in all forms and you are at the most creative when inspired.
Your expressive, affectionate nature responds very quickly through your feelings, but you must guard against being possessive and jealous.
You feel and sense much that you do not fully understand and cannot express.
Your delight in mystery could draw you into occult studies or religions.

Johnathan:

Although the name Johnathan creates executive ambitions, we emphasize that it causes a blunt expression that alienates others.
This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the reproductive organs, and tension or accidents to the head.

Your thinking revolves around business and ways of making money, rather than on music, art, drama, or philosophy.
You start new endeavors and incorporate new ideas, but seldom if ever receive the full benefits and financial accumulation for your efforts.
You tend to feel very frustrated in being unable to realize your ambitions fully.
An extremely independent and self-sufficient person, you dislike taking orders or advice from anyone.
You believe in speaking directly and to the point, so you are candid and abrupt.

Denny:

Although the name Denny causes an active mind and a restless urge to explore new ideas, we emphasize that it causes an unscrupulous, materialistic approach that frustrates higher humanitarian qualities.
This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the solar plexus and reproductive organs.

The name of Denny creates a very aggressive and independent nature, one with big ambitions, giving you original, progressive, large-scale ideas, salesmanship and promotional ability as well as the excellent business judgment which enables you to gain the financial accumulation to which you feel entitled.
You have a versatile, restless nature, and could do any job well, although you would not like to do menial tasks.
You are seldom satisfied and are always seeking something new.

Or a Girl...

Annbalynn:

Although the name Annbalynn creates the urge to understand others, we stress that it limits self-expression and self-confidence causing moods.
This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the fluid systems, heart, lungs and bronchial area.
