Philotic Web

Do you know, she sees my laptop or Gran's ipad and comes over, pointing and exclaiming DADADADADAAAAA! Then she gives the screen kisses while we skype. I was so afraid she wouldn't know who he is, but nope. She totally knows.

I get to go home next week. This is more amazing than you can imagine, unless you've been separated from your partner for a long and uncertain length of time. And now I'm talking with a friend about what I need to do before I leave, top of the list being sushi and pizza, because England fails pretty...

Mexican chocolate cake! It was going to be normal chocolate cake, but then I couldn't find the cocoa so I started making it a spice cake instead, got as far as dumping 2 tsp of cinnamon in, and found the cocoa. So I added some cayenne, and now I have spicy chocolate cake! Yum.

Growing up, we never knew them as pacifiers - they were soothers. Which in my house, was "oodies".

Exactly, Alea! The stem and leaves are the convenient handle which allow your hands to remain as un-sticky as possible!

Dear You,

Looks delicious! Tonight, my kitchen smells of roasted asparagus and pesto tortellini. It was my first time attempting both, but I'm satisfied with the results. The asparagus is wonderful and I devoured it way too quickly. The pesto could be better, but I won't complain too much. I used cashews ins...

Further Things I Did Not Expect to Say:

That's not a dog, that's Nutella.

Did you just rage-eat a blueberry?

I have no idea why, but in my head I pronounce it "you-toobies".

Congrats, Steph and Kimmie!!

Things I Did Not Anticipate Saying as a Parent:

Shut up and eat your bathtub peas.

Was that a delicious act of contrition? Was it scrumptious?

Well, it's no secret that many of us already consider ourselves well-gifted in the brains department.

Edited to actually include the video. I'm tired. Bedtime!

I've been following Chris Hadfield's tumblr and whenever he shows NFLD from the ISS I think of Jan and Paul.

I'm feeling really lonely and wish I had someone to talk to.

EDIT: Loved all the people who popped into Pweb chat tonight! You guys are awesome.

Something about this bench makes me think Alea would appreciate it. A rare example of municipal art that I enjoy!

I love it when it's early enough and I'm fast enough that I can get Nom-nom back to sleep by just rubbing her back and singing her lullaby.

My the melodious sounds of my brother booze-vomiting. To be fair, he turns on the fan and he's enjoying the experience even less than I am, I'm sure, but it's still gross.

Typing out Middle English. Dang vowels just all over the dang place. GET YOUR s*** TOGETHER, ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

:stoned: Actually, it was a right turn, thankyouverymuch. I just can never remember if the right lane becomes a turning lane at the previous intersection, and I always guess that it does, but it doesn't, leaving me with inevitably no time to make the lane change to make my turn. We'll not talk about...

My stupid kid won't give me kisses, but will chase the dog to kiss and snuggle her at any opportunity. :grumble: Nom says: Nin-NAA (Virginia, our dog) Uff uff (woof woof) Baba (baby) Dup (yes) Dadda DAAAAT (that) Grandma* Grandpa* Mamma* Nom signs: Milkies Please More (but more often uses it to mean...

For people who have neither Steph nor Brian on facebook, their wee new girl is pretty sick. She's in the hospital now, but is being well-cared for and is stable. But I'm sure prayers and/or positive thoughts wouldn't go amiss.

(I hope it's okay to post this, Steph. I'll take it down if you want.)

I'm going to stick this here. I can't figure out where else to put it, but this is a made-up statistic that drives me almost as nuts as the "10% of our brains" myth. ACCORDING TO PEER-REVIEWED LINGUISTIC STUDIES, WOMEN DO NOT TALK MORE THAN MEN AND REPORTS TO THE CONTRARY ARE BULLSHIT The ...

I managed to remember which lane I needed to be in to make my turn! I always get this particular turn wrong and it drives me nuts!

Dear Body,

After you've puked out all the contents of our stomach, there's no need to keep on trying to puke. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. YOU CAN STOP NOW.

Ahhhhh I want to just gobble her all up!

Meanwhile, here is my little monster demonstrating what doggies say

Talking about my dissertation with Kirsten! She is very smart!

Nom-nom's officially walking now. She signs (when she can be arsed), she has a few words, and while she's still only sporadic on 'mommy' or 'daddy', she knows dogs go 'woof woof'.

What on earth happened to my little baby?

Non-obvious things I miss:

My pressure cooker
Leftovers
Having to walk everywhere
'Basics' grocery items (the discount line, very cheap)

Curry.

I had a shower! Without a lifeguard! I got to close the screen the whole way!

*big hug for Steph and family*

And it's flippin' adorable!

("Caput" is the word for head in Latin...)

*big big hug for Nomi*
