sorry so quiet.
Hi people. I regret that we haven't been blogging much at all over the last 2 weeks but it's just been majorly busy round the McG household and we have been enjoying the start of a beautiful Seattle summer.
Now regarding Fenix, he started solids last week. In the world of babies this is a monumental step. One day it's breast milk and formula exclusively and the next someone is shoveling tiny spoonfuls of lukewarm rice cereal in your mouth. What must that be like?! Well he seems to love it. As a matter of fact, he loves it so much that he starts whimpering in between spoonfuls if you don't move quickly enough. So far we have tried rice cereal, butternut squash and sweet potatoes. Next up, oatmeal, peas, carrots, bananas, apples and pears. I am planning to make his food using a food mill but since we are in this trial period I bought small jars of organic baby food. I didn't want to commit to a big batch of any one thing until I knew that it agreed with him/he liked it.
Here he is after a belly full of brown rice cereal:
So back to the work thing, I am starting next Tuesday - it's actually my former place of work. They were so nice as to let me come back on a part time schedule. Fenix will be in day care for those 2 days. I think this is going to be a nice balance... I'll have every other day off, four day weekends and I will be with Fenix more often than not. The least amount of time that we can sign up for at the day care facility is 30 hours so that means that every week we'll have about 10 extra hours that I can use to go to doctor appointments or run errands where it would be nice to not have to schlep poor Fee along with me or better yet I can use it to get a leg up on my schoolwork.
Lastly our great friends Chad and Ty said their goodbyes and moved to Portland this past weekend. I didn't get emotional when they left but now that they are gone and day to day life is setting in I feel this yucky emptiness. I miss them so much already. I hope that some day soon we are all living near each other again like the good old days. It'll happen. Yeah. :-)

Hello from dirty jerz!
It's not really dirty but that's what we call it anyway. So far we've seen lots and lots of family and friends and eaten some great food (pizza! bagels!. It's been a blast and save for one day when it rained like crazy the weather has been glorious. When I get some time I've got some awesome pictures to post and even a really sweet video! I am gonna be sad when it's time to go home on Wednesday. My niece and nephew are perfect little munchkins and it's been great to spend so much time with them.
So that's the deal. See you when we get back....

Cool black chicks
I stumbled upon the Material Gurl blog when I was browsing around on another blog. It's a cute site written by two young African American women attending college at Howard University which is a HBCU (Historically Black College or University).
Well they have this feature called Outrageously Chic which is just candids of stylish AA* women spotted on the Howard campus. I am loving the unique look that some of these women are sporting. I can't really pull off alot of these looks anymore without feeling ridiculous because I am not a 20 year old but I can certainly admire them and I am definitely inspired. I love how these ladies are breaking the mold, not opting for the cookie cutter Forever 21 style that everyone else is rocking these days.
I have a few favorites but they don't allow hotlinking so this is a picture free post :-(. If you do decide to browse the photo pool, see if you can find my jr. doppelgänger in the set (though *I* am probably the evil twin). There is a pretty crazy resemblance in style and physical appearance to the younger (thinner) me.
*AA is an abbreviation for African American and shall now and forever serve as such for this here blog.

I am the master of my domain
Did you notice? Or are you one of those totally nonobservant types that doesn't pick up on every ridiculous miniscule detail like I do?
Ok well if you didn't notice then I'll tell you. Metagestation now has it's on domain - freed from the blogspot chains that bound us! Anyway now all you need to do is type:
www.metagestation.com
Simple.
But even if you don't, blogger will still redirect you from the old url to the new one so it's no big deal. I am also hoping to redesign this here landscape in the relative near future to something slightly less cookie cutter but don't expect to see that for a little while.

been busy
I have been horribly remiss in posting entries here over the last two weeks. The truth is that I think Fenix is going thru some kinda phase where he does.not.want.to.be.put.down.
It's pretty frustrating. But what can you do. Well I'm back now so that's all that matters.
And an update on the Apartment Therapy/Ohdeedoh nursery tour. It's still happening. I sent in the pictures and explanations of all the little things in his room as per the request of the editor that I'm working with. So now it's just a matter of waiting til I get the word that it has been posted. Don't worry, you all will be the first to hear about it!

haha! i beat you to it mighty girl.
Ok it's not that big of a deal but awhile ago I posted about Gdiapers.
Well the word is catching on. The hilarious and cool Mighty Girl has posted about them on her site. And since I really do love just about everything that she has to say, I am waiting with baited breath to hear her feedback on these bad boys.
See the Mighty Girl post on G Diapers here.
