Quick picture post

D and I tried to see Sex and the City tonight, but it was all sold out. Maybe tomorrow night. We saw Chloe Sevigny with a couple of other girls. She was wearing a jumper, similar to her Big Love outfits, and she looked at me sideways with hooded eyes, also like she does on the show. It was cool. She seems fun and weird. (I mean weird as a compliment.)

We lucked out and got further baby gifts, from Bdogg! I should mention that Liz got me a very cute downward dog T-shirt for E a while back. Definitely picture-worthy. The problem is, it's in a drawer that's hard for me to reach now, along with some other baby stuff. I'm going to transfer it all to my blue Target fabric folding bins as soon as I can bend again :)

From Bdogg:



On the right is a bath set with hooded towels and washcloths. The duck has a special bottom that will say HOT when the bath water is too hot for the baby.

Also, I got these pawprint slippers from the Animal Rescue Site (I think it's theanimalrescuesite.com, but I've had it bookmarked so long that I never have to type the URL). We're supposed to bring slippers to the hospital. These are really uber-comfortable and they fund 14 bowls of food for shelter animals. If you go to their store and search for "slippers," you can get them. I got two pairs (28 bowls) because I wasn't sure what size my feet are now. The answer: a size larger. This is the smaller pair; the other is already in my suitcase.



They're also available in white.

Will D and E's duck collections get their own room when you move to a bigger apartment? :)

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...
