Under the heading it is all worth it, file this: Emily just collected all the letters from her fridge phonics set and put them in the correct order, spelling her name. She can also tell you her address, full name and what city and state she lives in. The spelling …
Willy Wonka
Willy Wonka– We finally got to see it last night. Had a pizza party with the three of us and assorted cats. At one point Ninny grabbed a piece of pizza and tried to run off with it. Don’t get in the way that girl and her carbs. I love …
Two Missions crash
just a weird side note. After 14 years of living in San Francisco, it still feels weird when I tell folks here “we’re the first left after the Graveyard off Mission.” The two Missions crash into each other in my head. Took Bean for her first real Graveyard ramble last …
Funny Connections
Warning: runon sentence because it helps to get across how I feel right now: So we’re at the new members of the Unitarian pot luck party tonite. We’re having this wonderful conversation about business/economic ethics vs personal ethics and enron/tyco that sort of thing, also second careers and being parents …
THIS
is what is is supposed to be like. A WONDERFUL party. For all the libras at my friend Laura’s house. And kids abounding and dogs and food and talk. And everyone is home by 11. And I even got a birthday present. If I get any happier I’ll explode. Oh …

Fool’s Gold
I hope I’m done with that phase of choosing friends by their level of shiny-ness. All that glitters is fool’s gold.
Baking
As I was making lunch, Em got the pot holders, put them down on the floor and sat on them. She then started going ‘ding ding ding.’ I asked her what she was doing and she said “I’m baking”
Limits
Somehow, if you just keep clicking you come up with amazing pictures, which is why I LOVE digital cameras. We had the BEST time at Autumn fest on Saturday I have loads of pictures, but I’m preoccupied now. but there is this: She was just the most amazing Bean. I …
Just Read
recently… Poppy Brite’s The Devil You Know I liked it, particularly the restaurant writing. Five Quarters of the Orange –Joanne Harris–brilliant. I actually cried at the end “You can come home, you just have to stop moving away.” Oh yeah. Um plus about three completely stupid SF/Fantasy novels because I …
Quote of the Day
From James: “If you’d told me five or six years ago that I’d be living in Fayetteville Arkansas, liking it and sitting in a church basement singing kum ba yah, I would have asked you to have your head examined.” Hee. The kids are learning kum ba yah to sing …
kaloo kalay
I have to enthuse for a bit. It’s been an up and down feeling lately. All that build up and work then suddenly only the unpacking left. Don’t get me wrong, that’s actually fun and stuff, but we’ve been at a fever pitch of stress since about August 1st, if …
