Walking and Wah-ing

I finally know what they were all trying to say to me...

"you just wait...when they start walking, they'd be walking everywhere and you'd wish they hadn't"

It's evident that the baby doesn't like to be in the stroller anymore, that's why we bought the Radio Flyer wagon last weekend to change things up. But you can't use the wagon everywhere, especially around tight spaces like the supermarket, so we have to resort back to the stroller.

There's no more of the leisure strolling around, running errands in a stroller. Now he wahs and he wahs until you get him out of the wretched stroller and you know it's because he'd rather walk. You let him walk around because you'd rather he not wah, but he's walking everywhere, and of course always in the opposite direction. Is this what they were saying about walking?!

Second Obsession...

So my first obsession is bags, my second is cooking. As everyone obsesses over which restaurants to go to and reads and makes reviews, I am obsessed with finding recipes, reading reviews on them and trying them out. I never really had such an enjoyment with cooking until I was without a kitchen for 2 years. Then when we were toying with the idea of buying a house, we decided to stay where we are at for the time being and put in a small kitchenette instead. Our place is the typical San Francisco in-law unit - small, yet livable - and surprisingly, putting in a full sized refrigerator, stove AND oven, plus a sink and full-sized cabinets actually made the place a lot more cozier!

I love it!

I love spending the time to find recipes online, watching the foodnetwork and trying other's people's recipes. I love buying all kinds of kitchen gadgets, especially from Crate & Barrel, that make life easier in the kitchen. It's the one-hour time in a day that I have complete bliss from the baby and am not working. It's a new venture for me that I think I will keep at until I feel like I've got it - when I know why you add certain ingredients to certain things and where I can just whip up a meal without referring religiously to step-by-step recipes.
