<br />
but now that the holidays are upon us and we will be spending two weeks at home - we need to spruce this place up. through my internet travels, i've collected a few decorating projects and we may actually complete one or two!<br />

<br />
here i am finally getting back to updating.<br />
<br />
i'm not quite sure of my absence. well, let's just say i can't remember all the "to-dos" on my list over the last nine months. :) expecting your second child with a full-time job, a two-year old and much more leaves me with little free time to explore. but i'm taking it slow now just waiting for #2 to arrive. #1 is still at daycare and i am home taking a break from work. i thought i might be a little bored, but NO way! i'm enjoying my leave. i need some much-needed rest from work and some time to myself. who knows how long this will last (maybe another week?). but here are a few things on my list:<br />
<br />
- watch a movie!<br />
- read: my fav blogs, a new book, and relaxation techniques during labor<br />
- bake cupcakes for a welcome celebration for the new baby (really, for #1)<br />
- knit a baby hate<br />
- have lunch with great friends<br />
- spend a night-out (alone) with my wonderful husband<br />
- pick tiles for our new bathroom and countertopes for the new kitchen<br />
- take naps<br />
<br />
i hope to be reporting back with a birth story and a baby picture soon.Miahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04332707140946245995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12775532.post-12113700580112944572009-03-07T08:29:00.000-08:002009-03-07T08:29:30.595-08:00oh, please“I haven’t eaten red meat for 40 years. I wish I could give up chicken (except free-range) but then I’m down to fish which seem a) tainted, and b) endangered. By the way, I don’t not eat meat mainly for health reasons but also because I had an epiphany walking through Les Halles at the age of 23 that eating meat is disgusting, arrogant, oblivious and unconscionably cruel. Moving on … I try increasingly to eat only organic veggies and fruit.” <em>- <strong>Candice Bergen (via<a href="http://www.vegetarianstar.com/"> vegetarianstar.com</a>)<br />

<em><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">there isn't one bit of this that doesn't make me question everything about candice. is she delusional? does she really think she is a vegetarian when she eats meat? </span><br />

<br />
today was one of those difficult days where i felt like giving up. and, for me that's pretty bad; i'm a positive person. the glass is always half-full. though today was really rough. i wanted to give in so many times and just quit. but the minute that little girl of mine sees me, smiles big and wide, and runs over to say "hi, mommy. i missed you"--wow! that just erases everything else.Miahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04332707140946245995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12775532.post-55546016800976830262009-03-01T22:12:00.000-08:002009-03-01T22:12:17.067-08:00march 1lots going on in my neck of the woods. lots of thinking, planning, hoping and dreaming. sometimes i think i'm spinning my wheels other times i think it's progress. we, humans, are so funny. <br />

last night i went to a friend's house for a lovely dinner of delish thai food and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_dancing">fire spinning</a>. have you seen <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_dancing">this</a>? i wasn't quite sure what to expect. but i absolutely loved the fire dancing. who knew? it was a lovely, lovely night. the best part was seeing this group in a new light. they were all so giving--giving of their talents, presents, and laughter. i wish every night was like that.Miahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04332707140946245995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12775532.post-60678059345071126202009-02-27T09:11:00.000-08:002009-02-27T10:28:22.029-08:00Etsy Favorites<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLyZCAA5kBbTqW5sCSMtPGR9sRumAJncgBu-AS4zppe7vJDyplShUwmYgiHP513f9B2IuHR31P4j2oQxav9WidsJlhrxK9IcrkJKqiFFJZUWEEZc481DnV5jNw8YeevOlhorqcQg/s1600-h/il_430xN.59167416.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLyZCAA5kBbTqW5sCSMtPGR9sRumAJncgBu-AS4zppe7vJDyplShUwmYgiHP513f9B2IuHR31P4j2oQxav9WidsJlhrxK9IcrkJKqiFFJZUWEEZc481DnV5jNw8YeevOlhorqcQg/s320/il_430xN.59167416.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307540441437300178" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8aumjUNQLm7xjLlN_bojbXuXS19oKiUHmzfzC7-n2VJVTFoU2eB-YhwECkzsMa1a2mBKqBOeR8yqFEJ4uXe_ilKcto72mpq44OD8jPs7DIunYbASFD3S4ZuOzsPTqTnd5UTKqTw/s1600-h/il_430xN.55660858.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 308px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8aumjUNQLm7xjLlN_bojbXuXS19oKiUHmzfzC7-n2VJVTFoU2eB-YhwECkzsMa1a2mBKqBOeR8yqFEJ4uXe_ilKcto72mpq44OD8jPs7DIunYbASFD3S4ZuOzsPTqTnd5UTKqTw/s320/il_430xN.55660858.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307540442483682466" border="0" /></a><br />i just love these two items. the first, a cute ruffled purse from handmadebyhank, would be perfect for weekends. i'm think a weekend trip to sausalito. and these bunny notecards from AshleyPahl would be perfect for easter. while it's some time away, i've already been thinking about a cute dress for little d to go easter egg hunting in.Miahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04332707140946245995noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12775532.post-86457200505477718572008-09-30T22:56:00.000-07:002008-09-30T22:56:00.120-07:00thank yousmore specifically: weekly thank you notes. i am a firm believer that good things that happen in my life are not mine alone. good things in my life come from other people or affect other people. while note-worthy things happen everyday, i don't want to over do it. (although, is it possible to give to much thanks?) so i send a thank you note at least once a week to someone in my life.<br /><br />it could be my husband, my mother, a friend or coworker. last week i sent a note to to the manager of <a href="http://www.smithandhawken.com">smith and hawken</a> who helped us find our patio furniture. he was not only patient (it was past my little girl's nap time), friendly and funny, but he also gave us the BEST deal on the table, chairs and compost bin.Miahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04332707140946245995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12775532.post-9362277248279723372008-09-29T17:59:00.000-07:002008-09-29T17:59:00.767-07:00Monday's List<span style="font-family:webdings;"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">i love lists.<br /><br />plain and simple: they fuel my day, focus me, and keep me from losing my mind. i love looking over lists from previous days, weeks and months. it's fascinating to see what was a priority at that time in my life and what events were preoccupying me.<br /><br />how cool would it be to be able to look over the list of someone you admire?<br /><br />here's my list for today (in no particular order):<br /><br />write my weekly thank you note (more on this tomorrow)<br />chase my daughter (d) around the yard<br />update resume<br />laundry<br />pull out the sewing machine<br />find green corduroy i bought to make a jumper for<br />call intern from summer (sweet, sweet girl who interned with us this summer)<br /><br /><br />my list is kind of boring. but i figure if i publish this for the whole world to see, then that will make me accountable.<br /><br /><br /><br /></span></span>Miahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04332707140946245995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12775532.post-26539019685037680882008-09-28T15:34:00.000-07:002008-09-28T15:34:00.727-07:00Sunday Etsy Favorite<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix2kP5d9FN0PcWGTxQmCtiVmp_RoCZ-zTtuiLclbqzaHSLheRGYmDoX_NEhWw6uBC361Bj4U4apqt3TVAmyEbCS0ypkvm8vpy8_orvi4b_Dybe1pn72OZA-xdYwj805gFAJXBvnQ/s1600-h/il_430xN.39189729.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix2kP5d9FN0PcWGTxQmCtiVmp_RoCZ-zTtuiLclbqzaHSLheRGYmDoX_NEhWw6uBC361Bj4U4apqt3TVAmyEbCS0ypkvm8vpy8_orvi4b_Dybe1pn72OZA-xdYwj805gFAJXBvnQ/s320/il_430xN.39189729.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250563841691465730" border="0" /></a>from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15586179">lou and lee</a>.Miahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04332707140946245995noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12775532.post-80930714691309354862008-09-27T01:19:00.000-07:002008-09-27T01:19:00.397-07:00Perceptionsi stopped by rite aid over the weekend to pick up a birthday card. while perusing the aisles, i came across the hair products. i remember that i needed shampoo and was surprised to see my favorite organic shampoo. i saw the price (so cheap, i thought) and snatched up two to stock up--i love a deal! last night i stopped in to whole foods to do some grocery shopping. i passed by the (cheap) shampoo i had picked up at rite aid and noticed that it was almost $3 cheaper. ha! i suppose my perception that everything must be more expensive at whole paycheck.<br /><br />at least i can laugh at myself.Miahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04332707140946245995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12775532.post-33652729468524079482008-09-26T03:55:00.000-07:002008-09-26T03:55:00.464-07:00single family home?<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: right;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf5rjwwG1uuUE5QcvuA25q7a1_tdnrORUkatwLUS0Xhzqcp1lxXhPm4NaGNSDQXl5A3m2-UHoERPjDrY2IXn_ZNESkzcyTFWBvhgV_z2silLmEx8BmCYeUCt_LehqrrgpnDMFcfg/s1600-h/190+Bowery+Kitchen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" dd="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic8mfRCIW6iA198a5-ONfiE6bg4SbLcmsa6HhLDeym9-N6LKkYFXPNAZCBOlpdTJFXYqkzyfzeU2mixTCY_YkDwLOKAGFIoHKUZymrH1_OOXM_DQs6tGh2W7MvDkEf_6Mrutj9RQ/s200-r/190+Bowery+Kitchen.jpg" /></a></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: right;">check out this family's <a href="http://nymag.com/realestate/vu/2008/09/50481/">home</a> in manhattan. yes; manhattan. the building is over 30,000 square feet. a family of three resides there. they have a million dollar view, 72 rooms and it only cost them $120k in 1966. not bad considering today's <a href="http://money.cnn.com/real_estate/">housing climate</a>.</div><div style="text-align: left;"></div>Miahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04332707140946245995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12775532.post-56819022878809035802008-09-25T18:17:00.000-07:002008-09-25T18:17:00.741-07:00creepy guy down the streetfive days after we moved into our new home, there was a block party on our street. and that's where i first saw "nathan" (i don't know his name, i can just imagine that's what he might be called). "nathan" is one of the creepiest guys i have ever met. he is the type of guy that you can't wait to get away from and usually do so in the middle of a conversation with him.<br /><br />i hadn't seen "nathan" since the block party and had nearly forgotten about him. that is, until my daughter and i were walking home this morning and i almost ran right into him. how do you ignore someone right in front of you in a quiet neighborhood? apparently, if your me, you act like your blind and just start singing old macdonald with your toddler.<br /><br />and, guess what? it worked. i don't think he even looked my way.Miahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04332707140946245995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12775532.post-55562295205952647572008-09-24T12:00:00.000-07:002008-09-24T12:00:00.585-07:00i thought <a href="http://noimpactman.typepad.com/blog/2008/09/its-not-that-we.html">this</a> was a particularly beautiful post about our impact on earth. my stance on the "green" movement is that it is about humans, animals; those living off the earth. depletion is what will (or won't) be left for us. it is our time on earth that may be running out.Miahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04332707140946245995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12775532.post-13795248353836992312008-09-23T20:10:00.000-07:002008-09-23T20:15:15.058-07:00Tuesday Etsy Favorite<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRPV9x8V_3nVjoo5nkC-2-o60VmwXmuq8muI2B3txcFcGvs1wG-xOtUfxVelldI0PVC1t3iG_C04yD0Ijt8VQmSskwEHCQuRBn_mPob1VRv2hVquWfj0m8-kCf-ujtg2ENTV5Y5Q/s1600-h/il_155x125.35314151.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRPV9x8V_3nVjoo5nkC-2-o60VmwXmuq8muI2B3txcFcGvs1wG-xOtUfxVelldI0PVC1t3iG_C04yD0Ijt8VQmSskwEHCQuRBn_mPob1VRv2hVquWfj0m8-kCf-ujtg2ENTV5Y5Q/s320/il_155x125.35314151.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249421027030890082" /></a><br /><br />How *sweet* are <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5266913">these</a>?Miahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04332707140946245995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12775532.post-33359838970678062032008-09-22T21:40:00.000-07:002008-09-22T22:37:24.166-07:00<a href="http://www.vautecouture.com/">Vaute Couture</a>!!!Miahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04332707140946245995noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12775532.post-79825281045393453672008-09-21T12:38:00.000-07:002008-09-21T12:38:00.512-07:00This <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/14/books/14wallace.html?ref=opinion">news</a> is very sad for me.Miahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04332707140946245995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12775532.post-26099893851119068062008-09-20T13:17:00.000-07:002008-09-20T13:17:00.836-07:00Saturday Etsy Favorite<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zoyZrAkCCyo/SNQmvz5cZ0I/AAAAAAAAAJc/S4nSuzEJTU8/s1600-h/il_430xN.26586620.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zoyZrAkCCyo/SNQmvz5cZ0I/AAAAAAAAAJc/S4nSuzEJTU8/s200/il_430xN.26586620.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247862068620322626" /></a><br /><br />What a great bracelet?
