brain candy

and i loved every minute. i kept thinking that i need to send this book to my mom..... but my mom doesn't really read, so i am not sure if it would be a waste of money.

i really enjoyed all her vignettes. her love affair with her apartment, her passage through cookbooks & cooking traditions, the things she wishes she had known....

you never know

anything you think is wrong with your body at the age of thirty-five you will be nostalgic for at the age of forty-five.

there's no point in making pie crust from scratch.

i think i might just have to check this out. sounds right up my alley right now.

totally resonating with the pie crust statement. in fact, i made a quiche this morning-- well i made the filling for the quiche. the crust was frozen. but, it tasted the same to me. although, i'm sure my grandmother would balk at that statement. but i just cannot be bothered with the crust thing...

maybe i'll catch you at s.t. tomorrow? have you still been going? it's been a long time for us.

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...
