I like reading the New York Times, especially the Magazine section published every week. There's a short article on how a group of scientists made some randy voles become more monogamous. Imagine, a pill for monogamy. How interesting. Strange to think that something society has always considered a behaviour could have a physical, chemical basis more than a moral one. I'm sure there are more than a few people who would just love to have that excuse.

I've always felt more monogamous than not, so my vasopressin receptors must be just dandy.

Which ties into something else on my mind. I'm somewhat surprised by how gratifying it is to be a wife, to be somewhat domestic. I'm just as lazy as I ever was, I suppose. But having someone to bake for these days makes it just that much more fun. I don't think I could be a housewife, as I would get too bored until I had some other project to occupy my time. (And children will most definitely not be that project.) I don't know what to call it - but it's different than I imagined. I never did think I would have a normal life, but I like it.

I just want to stay home and bake all week. I'm on this kick. At least it means I'm cleaning the kitchen. Tonight I'm making strawberry & blueberry shortcakes with fresh whipped cream. Maybe later I'll get to work on the chocolate meringue fingers.
