so this is the bitch who served me papers last night. actually, it was a dodgy-looking, slob of a process server who showed up at the door, greeted by 3-year-old parker in lavender footie pajamas, and tricked us into thinking he had a package for me. sweet. she's suing me after running a red light sans insurance and totaling my subaru.
she actually looks pretty bad ass. guess it's a good thing she didn't get out of the car and take me down with some nunchucks or a high kick to the temple. she's definitely got some moves. she's ugly though, mean looking, tough. just like i remember her from my dazed post-airbag-deployed state of shock (on her cell phone). even the paramedics told me she was a twunt. aren't they not supposed to tell accident victims stuff like that? oh, well...
relationships all around me are crumbling. last weekend eric dumped alex by handing her a note upon returning from comic_con after 12 years and a relationship that survived two cities and a year's worth of commuting. she's a mess. my heart breaks for her.

moody
i'm alone in my office at the san francisco chronicle. my officemate/colleague/daytime husband on vacation.
life's little irritations piling up today. scheduling conflicts with dan, listening to everyone gripe about the state of this newspaper, the continuous unresolved saga of preschool, not allowing myself to indulge in a specialties wheat bran oat chocolate chip cookie that used to get me through the afternoon.
mellow weekend despite the fact i embarked on CIO (crying it out) for anyone that doesn't speak infant. roman screamed for half an hour, which was an eternity, while i cowered with a glass of wine, waiting. he stopped though, and slept all night. and for the first time in 10 months, i had the california king-sized bed all to myself.
i did miss that sweet boy, though.

blessed naptime
san francisco
wow, you blink and a year goes by! here it is july again — grey, cool, beautiful — but now there is an extra person in our lives.
nino (ne: roman james) arrived quickly on a sunday night last september and is a massive gorgeous chunk of a boy, with electric blue eyes and a sweet dispostion. the birth was fast and furious, just like you see in the movies — with my water breaking, then rapid-fire contractions, then rushing straight to the ER without being able to drop parker at my brother derek's first. she was with us in the delivery room till derek and heather arrived.
typically, i was still packing at the time even though he was five days past his due date. despite the rush to entry, he's laid back — not to interested in moving around much, content to sit and play with his plastic electric guitar.
dan is away working the 'just for laughs' festival in montreal and i'm holding down the fort with the shorties. parker just rose from her nap to find that the tea party fairy arrived while she slumbered. she loves when that happens...
