The first thing out of Quinn’s mouth when he woke up this morning:
“Mommy, you can do lots of things with hoolahoops, huh.”
…………………………….
And heard this commercial on the radio in the car on the way home tonight:
“Men, do you want to spend less time in the men’s room and more time fishing?”
What????
I was reading, or rather viewing, this post on dooce.com today, when Quinn walked in the room. He can tell by the sound when I’m watching a video clip online and he always tears himself away from whatever he’s doing in the expectation that what I’m watching is a video clip of him. (There’s a [...]
We drove 3 hours yesterday evening to pick Quinn up from Farfar’s. When we came through the front door he ran up to me and squealed “mahhhmmmyyy”, throwing his arms around me. Pretty much the best feeling in the world. He then proceded to recount his entire weekend to me at a breakneck speed, barely [...]
It’s been a lovely weekend and I did actually manage to relax and enjoy myself. And to stay out until 3 a.m. last night at Paul’s party — a crafting and music jamming extravanganza. In addition to seeing Radiohead Friday night, I spent yesterday shopping with Becca AND indulged in a much-needed manicure/pedicure.
As I was [...]
Saw Radiohead last night at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley. One word with hyphen for extra emphasis: a-mazing.
Deerhoof opened. Quirky & avant garde. There were some seriously strong opinions about them on the BART ride back to the city. Not in Deerhoof’s favor. I thought they were fun. Here’s a link to someone’s Flickr photo. [...]
So Quinn left today to spend the weekend at his Farfar’s house in the country. I’ve got a lot of mixed feelings about this, but I know it will be good for both of them. And I should be excited about a totally grown-up, kid-free weekend, right? I mean any self-respecting Mom would be thrilled [...]
Quinn: I love you more mommy because you look the prettiest.
Me: That’s sweet that you think I’m pretty, Quinn, but you can love us both the same.
Q: But you look the prettiest because sometimes you wear pretty dresses and I so much like the colors. And I just love you more b’cause you are my [...]
Quinn’s been really into magic lately. It started when our employee, Scott, introduced Quinn to the disappearing quarter trick. Ever since, Scott has been known as “the magic quarter guy” and Quinn has been completely fascinated with magic tricks.
I don’t have any video of Quinn actually doing a magic trick, but I do have a [...]
A Sunday afternoon in Dolores Park. Local band “Tragedy Andy” set up and played a set. Quinn just couldn’t help but rock out.
After the tragic sofa-loss and the suffering through of the dorm room special, our new sofa finally arrived. Here it is, in all its sleeklined-midcenturymodernlegged-doublewidechaise-chocolatebrown-microsuede glory…
And Quinn’s decided that the next piece of furniture we acquire should be the Eames Lounger. What can I say? The kid’s got good taste.
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 Get Satisfaction. Previous to Get 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, our RRL partner defected to L.A. to shack up with and marry the awesome Kestrin.
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...)
