The Food Gods Have Smiled Upon Me

CityZen just called! They havc an opening for me tonight. Woo Hoo! (I hope I haven’t hyped this too much, if the food sucks I will be very disappointed.) 

Desperate

I realize I should have called months ago, but I am the Queen of Procrastination. Gabe is taking me out for a fancy dinner for my birthday. I am having issues with reservations. They wait-listed me for CityZen for Saturday night. Marcels (I won’t link to it because the website has really loud cheesy music, [...]

Randomness Part 97

Does anyone know where I can find Christmas Tree ornaments in the shapes of the planets? Mmmmm. Bacon flow chart. (Thanks Kaiser) I just started reading Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. I love it already and I’m only on the third chapter. Did I mention that I finally weaned the children off of pacifiers? [...]

What Sucks

Waking up from a dead sleep to a screaming child covered in vomit. That is what sucks.

7 Conversations About One Thing

Me: What shoul d we get Brian (The Goon Squad’s Aunt’s boyfriend) for Christmas? Claudia: Well, we should get him something that he wants that he doesn’t already have. (I thought that was astoundingly insightful for a three year old.) Me: I think that is a great idea. Like what? Ian: How about pasta! Claudia: [...]

Does This Show Make Me Look Fat?

You know that show Heroes? Okay, well don’t say anything about any plot points because I am way behind, but we are currently Netflixing (It’s a word if I say it is) season one and I have a question for all of you. Is it just me, or does that show make you feel really [...]

Welcoming Zanna

My childhood friend (well, she is a grown up now), Alison, had a baby girl this morning. I did get a picture texted to my cell phone (we’re so technologically advanced) but I figured I’d let her parents post the first picture of her, so go over to Aliblog and welcome Zanna to the world. *** [...]

It’s Not Just for Dessert Anymore

We went to Gabe’s work holiday party on Saturday and so the kids spent the night at their Grandparents house. It was fantastic. I got to sleep nine whole hours in a row. Everybody loves it when the kids stay over there. Nonny and Papa love having the kids over, their dog loves it, Gabe [...]

More Chanukah Fun

… and I’m not even Jewish. In honor of Chanukah this year, Devra celebrated by showing me The Jesus of the Week on her Blackberry at the Redskins/Bears Game last night. In all fairness she was looking for Cheesus Christ and the Peep Jesus both of which were funny enough to risk eternal damnation and missing [...]

You Will Never Believe This

Happy Chanukah. I guess this special is for non-practicing Jews?

Has Anybody Seen My Fireplace Remote?

We have those fancy pants fireplaces in our house that are gas, but you make them work with a remote control that has an internal thermostat. These are great. You can set the temperature to 68 degrees in the day time and 64 at night and it self regulates. Anyway, I just figured out the [...]

I Never Thought I Would Say This

I am sick to death of Brad Pitt. I think it is lovely that he is trying to rebuild New Orleans. I think it is fantastic he is trying to adopt the entire third world. I think he is a really good actor.I think he is super hot. That being said – I’m sick of [...]
