Okay, the little one needs to be changed (looming number two in the thankfully disposable diaper) but here is a short list of things that interest me and topics I will hopefully sit down to write about at a less messy time...
The anthropology of mothering. This is something I really want to look into. Actually, the anthropology of parenting to be specific. How do parenting roles appear in different cultures? What principles govern raising kids in different parts of the world?
Photography. Learning the theory behind getting better shots and, um, getting better shots! And figuring out how to clasp the loose battery lid back onto our forlorn camera...
Baby massage. I've got the manual, I just need to do it.
Starting a discussion and prayer group via our church. Lots of plans for it and looks like we're set to start in two weeks.
I know, this is pretty pathetic but I want to master the good old Finnish nakkikastike (sausage sauce)! I mean if I can't even get this right then what kind of a home chef am I... I can make macaroons but not a brown sauce. Clearly I need to work on this. Clearly I need to master this. After all I'm raising two Finnish boys who have to be able to gobble this if not at home then at least later at school.
I'm also interested in why I should read the Economist, or not read it. I'll have to think about this one.
I'm still thinking about that luxury-I-deserve issue.
I just read a fascinating interview of a prison psychiatrist. I want to read a bit more about that world as well... crazy as it sounds I once thought that would be an interesting job to do, for me of all people. I know, not a good idea... I of all people would be the first to think I'd be the last for the job, ha haa! My youth career aspirations: either a designer or a criminal psychiatrist. Veeeery interesting.
Okay, that diaper is long overdue. Gotta get grounded.
