Julie Baggins (alternate title: Juliewise Gamgee)


We took Lyla to the Children's Museum because of the crappy weather today. Isn't it supposed to be summer or something?

On Friday Julie and I leave for two nights in a bed and breakfast on Lake Superior, which, if you recall, is a modified version of Julie's birthday gift to me. Her original idea involved us sleeping in a tent, but I have doubts about how well a non-pregnant version of my dear wife would do in that situation. And the pregnant version? Oh dear.

She eats like a hobbit, which Wikipedia will remind you involves seven meals a day: breakfast, second breakfast, elevensies, luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner, and supper. Here's a quick breakdown of today, not including snacks.

Breakfast: egg and cheese in an English muffin

Second breakfast: filled donut from the gas station

Elevensies: brat and potato salad

Luncheon: mostaccioli at Cossetta's

Afternoon tea: salad with goat cheese

Dinner: Chinese sesame chicken over white rice

Supper: hasn't happened yet but if history is any guide, probably a baked potato with shredded cheese and sour cream

So clearly this caliber of eating is not conducive to sleeping in a tent on the ground. The bed and breakfast also takes care of this summer's aforementioned crappy weather. My main concern is that a more ideal lodging would be a "Breakfast, Second Breakfast, and Elevensies in Bed." We shall have to make do.

  1. There is nothing better than a second breakfast for a preggy lady. Oh those were the days! :) Have fun this weekend!
