Laurel’s top two teeth are coming in and she’s been having a tough go of it. I can’t remember Oscar having this much trouble with teething–we were lucky. She’s just been really hard to please lately and she doesn’t just get cranky, she gets hysterical. She’s in pain, no fair! Tonight I was holding her [...]

The Coolest Thing in California
Posted in family on Jun 29th, 2008
The coolest thing to do in California is not going to Disneyland, it is going to a gay wedding. We got to witness our friend, Dave, marrying his partner of 15 years, Clyde. Dave and Clyde are the most romantic couple I’ve ever met and are a great role model for Brian and me. You [...]
Another Balboa Park Treasure
Posted in San Diego, family, stuff we like on Jun 27th, 2008
We are trying to spend our Friday afternoons doing fun stuff for the kids this summer. Last week we went to the beach and today we went to Balboa Park for the zoo and for a ride on the Miniature Railroad Train. It is a simple and sweet ride around some landscaped grounds of the [...]
Brian on Lifehacker
Posted in brian, stuff we like on Jun 27th, 2008
I was planning on blogging about yesterday’s good stuff* until Brian got himself posted on Lifehacker today! Earlier this week he submitted photos of his home office on Lifehacker’s “Featured Workspace” series and wouldn’t you know it, he’s been featured. More than 11,000 people have read this post already–he’s got his 15 minutes of fame [...]
Our Giving Tree
Posted in garden on Jun 25th, 2008
Since we’ve lived in this house we have sadly removed five trees from our property. Brian has claimed that the Crape Myrtle was a mercy kill–it was sick and pitiful. The European White Birch was poorly placed and our lot is small so it had to go. Brian’s dad tied a rope around trunk and [...]
Here’s a look at my happy little morning routine. Brian goes to his Kosinski shed…I mean office…everyday at 5 am (Note from Brian: I’m not sure Ted Kaczynski would approve of my shed seeing as how he was calling for a “revolution against technology” – it might be more accurate to refer to it as the [...]
Oscar took his Uncle Matthew and Aunt Turtle to the San Diego County Fair on Sunday. This was their second annual fair trip. Matt & Turtle are really the best for doing this. I’m so glad that Oscar gets to go to the fair and even happier that I didn’t have to go.
After his [...]
Zantedeschias
Posted in garden on Jun 23rd, 2008
The former owners of our house planted this Golden Arum Lily which has just bloomed for me for the first time ever.
It is especially fun to have in the garden because while I was a horticulture student at Cal Poly I grew the pink species of this plant. At the time I called them [...]
Tearful Reunions
Posted in stuff we like on Jun 22nd, 2008
Last night Brian and I watched a bit of the PBS documentary “Carrier” about the people who worked on the naval aircraft carrier Nimitz during a deployment to the Persian Gulf. All of the people featured in their interviews are genuinely likable. The footage of life on the ship and its operations (esp. the jets) [...]
Our Hungarian Heritage
Posted in laurel on Jun 19th, 2008
There is Austrian/Hungarian blood in the maternal branches of my family tree. Laurel payed homage to our ancestry today.
I tried the babushka on Laurel for the first time and with great success today. She seems to take pride in the speed and ease with which she can yank a sun hat off (even the ones [...]
