Weekend happenings

Do I have a lot of things to write about? No. Am I going to write something anyway? Absolutely.

I can't really focus these last weeks, so everything is going to be thrown together without plan, or grammar checks.

The Baby gave me a couple of sleepless nights last week, but today, as I walked into her room, I saw a glimpse of regongnition on her face, accented by a focused four second gaze, and a smile. Most of the time, I tell myself that it's gaz, but this time I am pretty certain that it was a genuine smile. I have seen her smile or smirk in her sleep (what do babies dream of when they sleep?). These moments are priceless and absolutely heart melting. Yes, I am a big softy when it comes to my girls, despite the cynical appearences I try to put on.

The Four Yearl Old, who will become the Five Year Old later this month, absolutely adores The Baby. This makes us ridiculously happy right now, because we've been scared by jelousy stories from our friends and families.

We actually made it out to Ravinia Music Festival this year. Although I had to spend a large portion of the concert looking for parking, I still was able to sit back, relax, and enjoy some classical medley by Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

I hope we can get out there again this year, the season is almost over.

That is all folks.

Things you never cared to know about Mayonnaise

I have decided to start a new Rubric. Once a week I will write a post about a random subject. Having the subject coming out of MY head, it can be about anything. I constantly have a lot of random "Why?" and "How does?" questions floating around in my head. I will try to explain how I arrived to the subject at hand and promise to do diligent research on Wikipedia and provide you, the unfortunate reader, with either the interesting or unusual bits of info. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! In addition to that I have a slight fetish for trivia. The rubric will be called: Things you never cared to know about Today's topic is Mayonnaise . How did I arrive to that? As I was making breakfast in the morning, I decided that I wanted to take a pita pocket and stuff it with something. The pitas are usually fairly dry, and you have to toast them. I did not have Hummus or Babaganoush (GOD! I just love saying BA-BA-GA-NOUSHHHHHHHHH!) I put a little Mayo inside to soften it up. So, ther

Crazy ideas - UPDATED

Here's a crazy survey I thought off. If you had a time machine where would you travel first? Assuming the fact of course of universal invincibility. ----UPDATE---- As my brother mentioned, with time travel universally available getting rich schemes would be less than doable. My aim is more towards investigating great mysteries of history. Therefore: a. To the Big Bang b. To see an asteroid killing dinosaurs c. To see the exodus of Jews as it really happened d. Try to see if Jesus hubbub really happened e. Forget the past, I'd go to the year 2020 to see who winds World Series and place a bet accordingly. f. Suggested by Ilya . Back a day or to to purchase winning lottery ticket. e. Try to see if Atlantis existed. f. Travel to the future to see the explosion of our Sun. I am torn between the dinosaurs and the World Series. Please suggest the choices. Should I add Buddha and Muhammed to the list as well? From the curiousity stand-point. I still rather see the dinosaurs.

Sunday Night Blogging.

I used to hate olives. Really really hate them, to a point of gagging. I have recently tried on a personal dare to eat the big green greek olives with crap stuffed inside of them. Some think it's anchowies, some think it's salmon, i think it's pepper. I've bought a small cup of them yesterday. They were with peppers inside of them, little red jalapenos, sticking out a bit. For those of my readers who ever had a male dog, the picture is precisely what you are thinking. I am not saying anything else. BTW, the peppers were spicy, although not too spicy. My little one take a look at one of them and proudly declares: "Daddy, the chiken almost got out of that one!" And here's the offending fruit (berry? vegetable? what is an olive?) just before I devoured it.
