But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

YAY! Allyson's coming back! Noah, Grace and I miss her tons.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Allyson, I'm so glad you settled into your visit.

Kids all over America want to hang out with Allyson.

I'm past the snotmonstering stage and into catarrh.

You know, I think January gets a free ride on New Year's Eve. It's really a pretty shitty month. Bad weather, weak sunlight. But it's all, "Hey, I'm the new year, resolute and shiny!" When in fact it's in the bleak midwinter.

January as new year is super arbitrary. Clearly, spring or fall are better choices.

If it weren't for MLK Day and President's Day, I'd be much sorrier in the winter than I am. But then there's two excellent local SF conventions (Arisia and Boskone, respectively), so those weekends are festive mini-vacations that I don't have to travel much to get to.

So, I just ate a surprisingly delicious garlic sesame rice noodle soup bowl thing, but I swear to god, I don't understand how to eat noodle soup with long noodles! The broth was yum, the noodles were just noodles, and there was no way to eat them both at the same time.

Jesse, I always give upa nd mostly end up with bites of one and then slurps of the other. I wait eagerly for buffista suggestions.

And I think I got my TV stand (v. similar to the ones you were looking at) at Best Buy when I bought my TV.

I'm feeling weirdly uneasy, like I did something stupid or left something important undone

Ooh. That's a hateful feeling, Brenda. Good luck getting it done.

Now I'm wondering...Sarameg, are you off to wrangle baby yet?

Hey check out the fancy cheese I got for JZ yesterday: Pugs Leap.

Yeah, that's what I did. But is there a better way?!?

Oh, I could go look at the place I got my TV! And try to remember I can't carry it home, like I did the TV.....

That cheese looks totally yum!

So far today, in my cook for the week strategy, I have made tuna cheddar chowder (don't know it. It's delish). A dozen sausage cheese biscuits and the beginnings of risotto. I also prepped to bake later this week a pasta dish.
