any friend of elsie’s is a friend of mine

Sunday, January 25, 2009

Elsie has a new friend. Her name is Sophie le Giraffe. And she happens to be the number one selling toy in France. We’re all feeling very chic and bilingual. Not to mention, Sophie is extremely suckable. Sophie, you can stay for dinner any time. We have fish pie on Tuesdays. If you’re still in [...]

cheese danish? (voice must rise sharply on the ‘nish’ of danish)

Wednesday, December 10, 2008

Do you want that cream cheese danish warmed? His excitement rises with each word. This Starbucks employee is the real deal. Passionate about his job, the coffee and the cream cheese danishes he carefully places in the case every morning at 5 am. Or passionate about pretending. Either way, it’s very alluring. That kind of [...]

a pick me up

Thursday, December 4, 2008

Some boy from Ireland wrote a very nasty comment about my Bangs video on my YouTube profile. Apparently Simon and I are lifeless, pathetic…what-have-yous who don’t deserve to be parents. I feel sad and dirty. But as my dad says, there is more good in the world than evil. These pictures are a reminder.

zoo and more zoo

Monday, December 1, 2008

Elsie wouldn’t stop begging us for a trip to the San Diego Zoo. We finally acquiesced on Sunday with a big sigh: “Fine, Elsie!” She was awake for a total of ten minutes and missed all the wondrous sites. Fortunately I was thinking ahead and brought along my little red book. I took copious notes [...]

fantabulous is my mother’s lasagna

Wednesday, October 22, 2008

For the week of October 19-25: WHAT I’M READING: I’m not. WHAT SIMON’S READING: Um…he’s not. WHAT I’M WATCHING: Here’s the thing. Where once we were not so much tv watchers, now that we’re perpetually sleep deprived, suddenly we are. Getting all glossy eyed in front of the tube is right up our alley. Simon [...]

Wednesday, October 15, 2008

For the week of October 12-18: WHAT I’M READING: Every week Pastor Dave sends me the weekly bulletin from my dad’s church in Toronto. He includes a hand-written note and if I’m lucky, a butterfly sticker. So I read that. WHAT SIMON’S READING: The Omnivore’s Dilemma, a book we both highly recommend. I recommend it [...]

fantabulous with child

Friday, September 26, 2008

For the week of September 21-27: WHAT I’M READING: Five issues of Brain, Child (a cool parenting magazine my sister-in-law sent us) simultaneously. I have them spread out around the apartment, so they’re easily accessible while I feed my ravenous child. I gotta stay sharp. I’ve heard the “mommy” brain softens rapidly from lack of [...]
