Back from Ocean City, NJ.

Steve and I are starting our efforts to be and eat healthier this weekend. (As mentioned in a previous entry, August was unsuccessful). We just got back from NJ yesterday, after a very uneventful flight (TYJ), and it feels so good to be home. We quite smoking over this vacation, and knock on wood, its been very easy this time. We tend to quit for months, then start up sporadically, then slide in constant smoking. Of course never around the babies, etc, etc, but it ...

Have had so many thoughts late at night before falling asleep and on my long commutes, but so little time to write them down.

Yesterday was full of Italian-accented darling-isms from Will.

1. (probably the funniest but also slight disturbing). Will was in the bathtub and I was sitting in the bathroom with him. He’s buried under mounds of bubbles. He says, “Sink-a haf-a stick in-a my tinkul-peepee.” (You read that right –“I think I have a stick in my :@”). I stare at him trying not to snort. I can’t help myself, and ask, “Why do you think that?” He says, “Cuz-a it won’t kweeze.” (“Because it wont bend”...
