Meredith is so sad about Suede

My nieces Josa and Geena at Indian Day. So beautiful!

Should this whole post be in third person to commemorate Suede being aufed off of Project Runway? Meredith thinks so. Meredith thinks Kenly's horrible "hip hop" outfit was the worst, but apparently tantrums and hystrionics make better TV. Meredith does not care, she did not much care for Suede anyway, but thought it hysterical when everyone was tricking Kenley into believing her look was fly. Meredith also enjoyed Korto getting in touch with her country roots. Again, GO LEANNE!!

We just got back from San Jose, where we got to see my mom and dad, both who were so happy to see the baby. I think my Dad dislocated his shoulder picking Sam up. Jeff and I certainly enjoyed finally seeing "Dark Knight."

We also, courtesy of Homewood Suites in San Jose, got to watch the first episode of this seasons "The Office." How romantic- proposing at a rest stop. Of course now we will have to wait forever to watch the rest.

Fish Oil and Facebook

So, we were playing in the kitchen as usual yesterday, I was making bagels to use up some of the smoked salmon and Sam was taking lids off of jars and stacking things in the pantry (important baby stuff is what Jeff calls it.) I noticed that it was a little to quiet and... peeked in the pantry to see Sam rolling around in a pool of used oil that we fry fish in, happy as a clam. You can imagine I did not know whether to laugh or cry. I laughed, of course, took some pictures (too dark ,I think cause they were in the pantry) and then threw him in the bathtub, almost breaking my neck in the process from slipping on the fish oil. The irony is that this whole episode happened while I was on the phone with my in-laws, who are away, assuring them that, yes, everything is fine, the garden is getting watered and picked, the baby is great...

Also, Facebook. Weird!! All these old elementary school friends are finding me. Random. I usually can't get on it because it is restricted at the computer center.

We are going to San Jose this weekend. Jeff and I are going to be able to see movies! Hopefully Batman is still in the theatres. What else should we see? If you could recommend one movie that's worthwhile, what would it be? To bad "Harry Potter" is not out yet, even though I watched the preview on line.

"The Office" starts on Thursday. And "survivor" Sigh.

I am about to Google recipes for Grouse, since Curt apparently shot some yesterday. Where am I?

Why is Kenley such a bitch?

Have you been watching "Project Runway?" Why on earth not? Why is Kenley, who was one of my favorites, turning in to a world class bitch? Doesn't she realize there is a reunion show? Oh, and Karma? This will definitely bite her in the red- lipsticked ass!! Especially if she tries to make a 50's inspired hip hop outfit in the next challenge. Goodbye, Jim! Straight men have no place in "Project Runway!"

New Foods

Other than dog food, Sam has been enjoying some rather exotic fare of late. His favorites are tomatoes and tomato juice, he has also sampled with much gusto grilled salmon, heirloom beans (which resulted in much unlovely poop), raspberries, venison, and apples (we just eat the skin off and give him the whole apple to gnaw on- its hysterical, he loves it, he can work on one apple the whole day, and he eats the whole thing!).
We think he said grandma yesterday- Janet and I both heard it!
Nothing much else is new. Tonight starts the new season of "House," and in a few minutes I am going home to watch "Prison Break." I don't know when "Survivor" starts, but I hope hope hope someone will tape it for me. I read somewhere that the premier will be 2 hours long. I could watch it all day.

Sorry!

I know it has been a long time since I posted. So much has happened. All the cousins left, and we miss them terribly! It is very quiet around here. We went again to visit Bebe to help her move into her new apartment by the Marina in SF. We got to go to Golden Gate Park, and walk around Bebe's new neighborhood, which is very cool, and flat! It was sad to see my mom's burnt apartment, but we like the new one better!
Sam has about8 teeth now, and he used them to bite me the other day! He also uses them to eat apples (after we eat the skin off). We have gone to the river a few times, and he still enjoys the water. 8 teeth, but still not much hair!
On a recent costco run we got season 4 of "The Office," which we were not able to see the end of because we dont get local channels. So funny! We haven't finnished yet, but "the dinner party" and "the chair model" were hysterical!
We also are intrigued by the pilot for HBO's "True Blood."
Go Leanne on "Project Runway!!" You should have won last night too for your Avant Garde look, Jerrells was ugly, you were robbed. Not sad to see Terri go.
Could "Prison Break" be any better this season?
