Aaron is in reading a bedtime story to William. I just got back from driving Leonora to sleep. It's a terrible thing to make a habit. I try to only use it if I'm pretty sure she'll fall asleep quickly. Or as a last resort. Anyway, she hadn't had a nap and had been very clingy all afternoon. I think she's teething again/still. She's also gotten a little spoiled with being sick. She's also almost two. We sat out in the parking lot of the apartments for about 10 minutes to make sure things had calmed down inside. Leonora slept in her carseat, and I sat thinking and listening to the radio.
I realized that tomorrow is Wednesday, and that I've been weighing myself on Wednesdays. (I admit that I'm not looking forward to this week much.) Then I remembered that the last time I posted was my weigh in! Hmmm... I haven't been posting a whole lot lately, have I?
It's not for lack of subject matter. I just have been busy... I think... Hmmm... what have I been busy with? Good question. Then I realized... I've been listening to a book on Aaron's Ipod. Garlic and Saphires: The Secret Life of a Critic in Disguise. It's a memoir of a previous New York Times food critic. She's a fantastic writer. Her descriptions of the food she eats always make my mouth water- well, the ones from good restuarants do anyway! I've been enjoying it.
... It's getting late. I don't know if this post makes much sense. I'm being distracted. I think Aaron needs to go to bed. He's getting strange. I have more to post-some pictures even! but I'll have to get to it tomorrow. :)

Thats funny that you're reading a book that has to do with food when you're trying to loose weight. I bet it doesn't make it easy!
Yeah, she even has recipes. They all sound good. I haven't writen any down or tried them. Some of them I know I won't try. They're either too complex or have alcohol.
Hahaha... Tearese is right!
Sometimes you can substitute juice or broth for wine or alcoholic beverages. Sometimes you can even leave out the alcohol out altogether and the recipe will still come out just fine.
For example, if a savory recipe calls for white wine, you can use chicken broth. Or if a sweet recipe (like a dessert) calls for white wine, you can use apple juice or white grape juice.
Yeah, I've heard you can use other things. Most of the ones that use alcohol are also the more complicate ones anyway though...
