I know she reads this and I know she knows who "she" is, so here goes. Please take this seriously because it's your whole life at stake and you have to really step back and think long and hard about what I'm saying ( Read more... )

Things have been going pretty well. Went to Le Bec the other night and had a great time! I'm starting my low-fat diet and tonight I'm making Cooking Light's version of Chicken Marsala. I'm hoping it tastes as good as I hope. I wanted to sleep in today but someone decided to give the baby an electric toothbrush, which he proceeded to try to ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday Sweet Angel. Was it only one year ago that I held you for the first time, your little head in an almost perfect point that seemed so beautiful to me? I remember how you looked up at me with your big eyes and, although I know that you were looking through that baby haze, a bolt of love went through me as if our love were forged in ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is the big day. Noah's 1st birthday. I bought him a ride on fire truck, a metal one with a blinking red light and a bell that you pull.

I'm having lunch today at Sagami. I was there once before and found I was indifferent to the food. It was ok, but it was long before I was into Japanese cuisine. Things have changed, thanks to Fuji. Fuji rocks! I think they are the best Japanese food - BUT there are those who say Sagami is better and certainly Sagami are rated higher by Zagats ( Read more... )

We went to Chinatown and Jeweler's Row yesterday. First I went to see my favorite jeweler so that I could have him design an ID bracelet for the baby. Then we went to Chinatown and ate at a top-rated Zagat restaurant "Vietnam". It was OK. I bought the baby a little chinese boy hat, red silk fabric with a long braid down the back. He looked so ( Read more... )

When I am an old woman I will not wear purple. If I happen to pull something out of the closet that is purple or has purple in it I'll put it on, but I will not seek out purple to make an "I am Woman, Hear me Roar!" sort of statement. After all, yesterday I wore white capris with huge purple flowers all over them and a matching purple tank, but ( Read more... )
