Aww, I'll miss the chef


Joshua Ploeg will be in town while I'm in DC next week. I would have like to have tried to weasel my way into the dinner he's doing on the 17th. Out of luck. Anyway, I was thinking of him this morning because NPR had a Hidden Kitchens episode on today. This guy totally needs to be interviewed by the Kitchen Sisters.

If they mated?


One of the most fun things about having a baby is trying to figure out what it will look like. I hope it's tall with thick, wavy hair. On the other hand we could get something more treasure troll-like. Short, with large feet and thick, crazy hair. It's a gambler!

The other cool thing is not feeling guilty about giving in to a craving. Hey a burrito has beans & rice, which I think may be a complete vegetable protien.

I keep forgetting to bring home the new Futureheads. That's part of what's happening to me though. Growing a baby is something like the mental and physical equivalent to rock climbing. I get tired easy and I forget a lot of stuff. When we went to Big Sur, I completely forgot to pack pants. Pants! I had to wear the pair I brought with me all weekend. By the end of our trip, they could have walked themselves home. I also forgot to pay the car insurance and I drove Heylove to the sitter's place, but forgot her food at home. I'm on a roll these days.

Futureheads!


I got the new CD yesterday but I haven't listened to it yet because it's one of those advances that won't play on my computer at work. Bummer! I can't wait to hear it. Maybe Leon can h4xor into it at home. Gotta love Leon, he lives in the future.

It's true.


I'm pregnant and I'm pretty sure it's Leon's. We don't know yet if it's a boy, a girl or another little boston terrier (fingers crossed!).

I have to tell my boss today and I feel kind of nervous about it.
