I fell asleep at 4:52 last night (or that was the last time I saw on the digital clock). For some reason, although it was not this way in college, if I drink even one glass of something alcoholic, I am up almost all night and sleep becomes a distant dream.

The day began really well yesterday. We had backbends at yoga school, which was great. One girl who has had problems with depression said that they're an antidepressant, and I have to say it's true. After backbending all day I was so blissed out that I forgot my mat and had to trek back to get it before dinner.

We had dinner at Lasagna, which was surprisingly un-campy, although the waiters are starting to recognize us. I got lasagna primavera and a glass of zinfandel. So pink and so lethal :(

The night before we went to Thailand Restaurant with S and his new girlfriend C. It was nice to have S back - he'd been living in the Midwest for a while, where he grew up.

Oh well, today will be a better day. I am already digging my oatmeal. Someone said on Kim's blog that if you give up high fructose corn syrup, you will lose weight. I have to say it's true. My jeans are loose and I don't have any cravings. D and DG both got dessert last night and I had no interest in sampling it!

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t...

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.

Eventful

A lot has happened today already. I went to meet D for lunch and along the way I spotted a Boston terrier -- one blue eye, one brown. I stooped to pat it and then I heard an ear-bruising screech!! Everyone's head whipped around. Even the dog jumped. A taxi had squealed to a halt and there was a delivery boy on its hood. Somebody yelled, "Call an ambulance!" The boy seemed fine, even hopping on his bike to finish his deliveries -- but everyone persuaded him to stay. I took out my cell phone but another woman was already giving details to 911. After the woman finished the call, I was satisfied that help was on its way, so I continued. There were a bunch of rubberneckers/supporters gathered around the boy, so he wasn't alone. The dog stayed too. I was shaken by this, of course, but then something amusing happened. A few blocks later, I knelt down to pat a beagle tied outside a coffee shop, and it let loose with this big mournful howl: AROOOO. Everyone smiled, including a...
