But if you're wanting to drop off French couture for Matilda you just might have to see her in person.

Yes, that is why I was asking (although it's summery and size 18 months so I suppose it can wait).

Also: I was in North Beach yesterday and decided that you, me, Juliana, Matilda and JZ need to go to this place called Melt. Traditional Fondue! (Also Welsh Rarebit) It looks super Neuchfatel.

This is also a good plan!

Congrats GG and family-of-brother-of-GG! (And, dude, perfect excuse for a trip to Scotland if there ever was one!)

Thanks, amych!!

perfect excuse for a trip to Scotland if there ever was one!

I thought so! Hmmmmmmm, Christmas in Edinburgh sounds good to me!

Yay new baby!

I totally outed my brother as a slacker at a seminar today. I'd sent him an email entitled "resale value" knowing full well he'd think it referred to a car or computer. The contents referred to my head now having a resale value. He started laughing in the middle of the hall.

Congrats GG on impending auntdom! And amych is so totally right. It's only natural that you go to Scotland in '09!

Did you guys know that this year is the International Year of the Potato?

I celebrated with French Fries.

Mmmmm. . .

Picky eaters? [link] NY Times claims it's partially hereditary.

Frat Boy Next Door arrest update: a reporter for the student paper knocked on our door to see if we'd heard anything. She said there was a drug-suspicious package and the police arrested the guy who signed for it. Which, okay, but leg shackled?

Thanks sarameg and sumi!

I have 4 nephews and 3 nieces from my half brother and half sister; however, John is my full brother so this baby is a little special. Not that I don't love my other nieces and nephews!

I am officially starting the "Please send GG to Scotland fund" with the 27 cents I found on the floor in my classroom/theatre today.

Wait, what? The Comical actually sends reporters out into the field, rather than just putting their bylines on press releases? and was it my ex-student who stopped showing up for work because she was too busy working for the paper, in which case, go her, but don't tell my boss I said so?

So the human garbage disposal aspect is too, right? (Explains my brother & nephew.)

I can't say I'm picky. I've got some texture issues and some stuff that I just don't digest well (there is a direct hereditary line there) so therefore avoid now (ice cream is SO OUT,) but I'd say I'm pretty adaptable. Um, except seafood. Don't much like it. I'll mostly try anything but know immediately if it is so not for me. There is no maybe. It's ok or so very not to the point of it isn't going to stay down. But it can be revised. I used to hate pickles. Love 'em now. Didn't used to be able to tolerate chile. HAH! Vinegar used to be ok, but now it does weird things in my mouth (and yet pickles are now ok? and most other pickled things are ew. Beats me.)

And then there is the color thing.
