Cutting the Apron Strings for a Weekend Wasn’t so Bad Afterall

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 out and about yesterday, though, I kept having panic attacks thinking I was taking too long and needed to get back home to Quinn. Then I’d remember. That’s a great feeling — like panicking that you’ve overslept and then remembering it’s a Saturday. However, the waves of relief have been coupled with tinges of sadness just missing him so much.

Well, I just got back from co-hosting a baby shower and now we’re heading out to stop by Cameron’s birthday picnic. Then it’s up to Farfar’s to retrieve Quinn. I’m looking forward to the reunion. And the mile a minute retelling of all his weekend experiences.

    One of the best parts of the apron string cutting is the reunion. It’s nice to miss the people you love for a little bit, it reminds you what you adore about them even more.

    You’re so right. And there’s nothing like that squinty-eyed-smile-accompanied-by-his-sing-song “moooommmmmmy”-while-throwing-his-arms-around me reunion. The best.

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...)
