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.
