new york is great part 3....

1. the new restaurant next to the thai restaurant from the other night is a peruvian establishment....boasting of seven spiced chicken. all of this next to the turkish restaurant & the japanese place across the street.

2. the melting snow accumulates at the corners so that my pants that are too long (because i bought regular length but am in fact smack in between petite & regular so that neither fit perfectly) get sopping wet as i walk the 25 minutes to target.

3. as we walk to target we walk past film crews setting up to film a pilot for fox. i looked it up on www.imdb.com and found out that it is starring julianna marguilies. pilot is titled "canterbury's law."

4. my israeli hairdresser invited us over for shabbat dinner with his jewish ukrainian wife and served all middle-easten kosher food.

5. you meet really cool people that do really cool things. our dinner company writes for the wall street journal and had a front page article today in the weekend section....on "bounty hunters" of jewish owned & stolen art by the nazis.

You sound like a book Im reading right now called HOLY COW about a woman's time in India with her husband. Meeting all sorts of different people from different cultures has GOT to be enriching to your life. I suppose it must make you feel less pure white bread and more part of the whole spectrum of grains that make up our world.
My question is: How do you walk to Target with two babies and then walk back with your stuff???

and we will be out numbered....

as of monday, i am through my first trimester with sweet baby #3. the sweet children will out number the adults come the beginning of march. as john likes to comment about my day to day coping skills, "her body is betraying her" as i adjust to pregnancy and surviving with two small children. i still can't find our flash drive to upload pictures....i'll work on it. it requires clearing off the computer desk which exists in the middle of the living room due to the plaster/drywall work being done to patch up the hole from the toilet leak. supposedly the new hardwood floors are supposed to arrive this week.....which means we could potentially move out of the office and back into our bedroom in a couple of weeks!!! the small pleasures in life!

i find it interesting....... .......how the two boys are in sync already. apparently we had not weathered the worst of operation big boy-no paci....he cried for almost an hour. what we thought would be an early bedtime was not....then asher (who was supposed to sleep until 2) woke up at midnight only to be followed by big brother 10 minutes later "scared." .......how 20 & 30 years olds (including myself) walk around the locker room delicately covered up by the towel that is slightly too small to cover my rumpus..... and yet the 50 & 60 years old strut around with no shame. nora ephron claims that the things that we things we hate about out bodies in our 20s will be the things we long for in our 50s. funny how that works...maybe i'll lose my abandon and sit in the sauna naked as a jaybird..... naw!!! .......how fun sitting on the kitchen counter while daddy cooks is for a two year old. .......how much i want to cut my hair. .......how excited i am to have gott...
