I Stand Corrected

“Mommy, do that kind of flower that roars?” Quinn asks, making claw-hands up by his face and actually roaring the word “roar”.
(side note: While very articulate, Quinn has yet to fully grasp proper grammer and insists on the universal use of “do” for what, how, who, where — pretty much everything but “why” which he wholly grasps in all it’s unrelenting power.)

I finish my sip of coffee and reply, “What?”

“You know, that flower that ROOOOAAAAARRRRRS”, he answers.

“A flower that roars?” I ask while racking the back of my head for some movie or show he might have seen with a roaring flower. One comes to mind with talking flowers, but do they roar? And no matter anyway, because I’m pretty sure Quinn has yet to witness the drug trip that is “Alice in Wonderland”. “There’s no flower that roars,” I say confidently.

Quinn thinks for a second, then replies, “That flower you can blow” and he mimes the act of holding and blowing a flower.

Lightbulb illuminating over my head, “Ah, you mean a DandeLION.”

Quinn is pleased.

Raising a Kid
I'm Quinn's mom. He's basically The Cutest Kid in the Known Universe. Ok, I know, your kid's cute too, but this one's mine. He was born in March of 2002 and came home from the hospital to a shower of Cherry Blossoms.

Founding Companies
In January 2007 Thor & I joined forces with Lane Becker of Adpative Path to found Satisfaction Unlimited. You can get a sneak peak by going here and clicking on any company or organization that suits your fancy. And you can get more insight by checking out our Satisfaction Blog. Previous to Satisfaction I was a founding partner of Rubyred Labs, a design driven Internet product development firm where we made cool stuff and enjoyed breakfast, particularly when it involved cereal, coffee and grapefruit. Jonathan Grubb is still running Rubyred.

Keeping the Peace
All this has left me craving a nap, but I still somehow manage to find time to travel with my brilliant and adorable husband (and sometimes my friends), experiment in the kitchen, and hit the town with my gorgeous, smart, single gal pals who are in search of kind, eligible men (I know you're out there...)
