-I saw a 10 of hearts playing card in the middle of the street right by the entrance of the Queens Midtown Tunnel. What does it mean?!

-Oscar noms are out. Boyhood, yes! Richard Linklater! Austin, TX in the 90s is my San Francisco, CA of the 60s. Wish I could have been there...

-Jack is just the best little Jack in all of life. He smiles like mad and now has mastered the art of grasping his hands together in sort of an evil mastermind sort of way. I love him. Also, I have turned him onto the cardigan.

-I am taking teapills. They are weird. They are breastfeeding and my high liver enzymes and my RA, though, so, win win win. I am falling apart...

Funny dreams

Of all the things Jack will inherit from me (story embellishment, rashy skin, love of old horror movies) my absolute favorite, and most recently realized attribute is that he laughs in his sleep just like I do. He doesn't even laugh yet in real life but, twice now, he's giggled in his sleep. The first time I heard it he was only a few weeks old and I dismissed the laugh thinking 'no way! He did not just do that! I'm delirious! But lo and behold, it happened again today. Heart melt.

So I am back to my weekly updates for 2015! It has been since 2011 (on Tumblr) that I have done this but with Jack and with how time is just flying right by, I want to make sure I remember it all...or most of it anyway. So the first week of 2015??

-Jack is HOLY SHIT sleeping through the night! Like between 10-12 hours through the night! He wins 'Best Baby Ever' award.

-Ryan and I began a tradition of going to eat pizza on Tuesdays down the street from our house. This was made exponentially better by my best buds (who moved less than a mile away from us recently!) joining us.

-Speaking of traditions, Jan 1 trip to the beach with Jack (he saw nothing):

-I am commuting again (ugh) but car rides into the city are made all the more worthwhile by Dunkin Donuts now offering up almond milk and by listening to lots of This American Life.

-Guess who has a secret admirer??:
