|oh, cranky baby|

seems like madeline is a bit of a cranky baby.

i keep having to restrain myself from buying her more toys. (well, her and matt, both!) in spite of not being able to get out and shop as much during this holiday season, i seem to have done pretty well with my christmas list. we've hit a peak of online shopping in this house. there's a box or two on our porch almost everyday... from baby supplies to christmas gifts.

i have a fellowship interview at the ivory tower across town tomorrow. i guess you could say i'm a bit nervous. while it is probably every young scientist's dream to end up there, i don't feel ready. i probably never will. that's my own insecurities, though.

not much holiday baking this year... just too busy, i guess. hopefully i'll be able to get some holiday baking done during my days off. i have a turkey defrosting... and i'm thinking about cooking up a roast! i've never done that before -should be fun. the in-laws will be here right after christmas, so i should make some fudge, too. they are fans.
