this is what my friend said to me over dinner the other night. "you know, they way they stretch. i’ve always wanted to stretch like babies and cats." me, i'm jealous of people who don't have frizzy hair and who get to drink their coffee hot. i can't finish a magazine or even an e-mail for that matter. i'm lucky if i remember to flush the toilet. i heard on npr the other day that to be a parent is to realize that your priorities have to change on a dime. uh...yeah. take for instance my lists. i used to be master of the to-do lists. crossing things off made me feel like i'd accomplished something. now my lists laugh at me. seriously. and it ain't a nice laugh either. today i confess to popping in a video called "baby gourmet" in order to keep baby entertained so i could cross things off. while she watched poached pears and bleu cheese set to mozart on a harpsicord, i cut my finger nails and flushed the toilet.
ah, the good life.
