SORRY, I'VE BEEN DRAFTED.

Sorry for the long absence from the blog, but as some of you might know, 6 weeks ago my family welcomed a new baby boy, who I will refer to from now on as MicroBee (his older brother is MiniBee, and the father Mr. Bee).

MicroBee is doing great, and he's the kind of newborn who belongs to that mythical species that eats and sleeps all day long. And in the few minutes he's awake, he looks as suspicious as someone whose malfunctioning time-travel machine just landed onto yet another random point in time and space. Hilarious. 

But even though I'm not spending my days topless and in tears like last time, and you will even see me wearing makeup on most days (and yes, I reapply every day), the time to sit down at a computer with both of my hands free to type has been severely curtailed. No worries though, I managed to produce a few drafts filled with food and typos that will be cleaned up and published soon.

For the moment, I'll leave you with a couple of brief reflections on newborns.

HOW COME NEWBORN BABIES LOOK SO SMART?

• They can't smile yet.
• They can't speak yet.
• They either ignore you or stare at you, frowning. 
• They have a large forehead (baldness).

POINTLESS SENSORY EXERCISE FOR NEW PARENTS

Two weeks into your parenting experience, make roasted chicken. The act of rinsing it or rubbing it with spices, combined with your sleeplessness fog, will give you a unique, horrifying experience. Trust me: It's the closest I've come to vegetarianism.
