Ah yes, the maturation process almost all of us experience!

This is SO very true. Not just for Manhattan but for all of New York City. I lived in Queens, and the move back to CT was a difficult transfer. But then I remembered the stars. Actually the first summer back, I remember just laying outside in the bed of the Silverado just looking up at the stars. Probably the hardest part of the transition was that my body was clocked to get hungry at like 11:00 - 11:30 and everything except the diner is closed. You are definitely 110% right on. I went through All this.

But I still miss getting Booze, Toilet paper, snacks, etc. delivered to my place at 2 am, and now I actually have to do my own Laundry instead of leaving it at my door for someone to pick up, wash, dry, fold and drop back off. I miss the convenience. But I don't think I'll ever move back there.

You forgot catching fireflies. Can't do that in midtown Manhattan.

All of her work doesn't match whith christianity. All the mistery was about telling different religions, old religions. You can see clearly in her
later work, the difference on the charater, the lost of mistery in Lestat. Lestat has no questions anymore, now he wants to become
a saint. And the Menoch is a very interest book, but not to put with the vampire crhonicles, when she says he met with the devil,
she afirms the christianity. I was feeling just like you all, and I am glad there are a lot people feeling the same.

Take a look at Cargill's Amazonas plant in Manaus. It's the largest grain handling facility in the world, right in the middle of the Amazon. Who's cutting down the rain forest?

I have faith you can have it all, you just have to decide to do it. You will be surprised when you are done how easy it was to do the seemingly impossible.

Chris, I totally see what you mean. I felt that way a few years ago. Mine was a long held desire to be my own boss. But before I knew it, I had already clocked 5 years with Citigroup. Meanwhile, everybody thought I would be a good lawyer (for whatever reason), so I applied to law school and was ready to go but it did not feel right. I differed for a year, then another year (and the folks at Georgetown were incredibly understanding) and then I finally pulled the plug. Still not completely sure I wanted to quit Citi (cos the money was good and it was a comfortable job), I decided to start my business (http://www.giftcardrescue.com) on the side and see how things go. For a little while, I thought I could live in both worlds. Then the decision was forced on me - My position at Citi was eliminated last December. It was just what I needed. I am now 100% dedicated to growing the business, and five months into it, I could not be happier. I cannot imagine going back to corporate America, at least if I can help it.

So, what am I saying? Maybe you should start writing on the side - that is if married life and two boys does not already fill up time :):) I know people that tried this approach and realized it was just "a childish dream unsupported by any recognition of talent" as you put it. But for others like me, it did confirm what I already knew. You may end up being fulfilled more with your writing projects, and hopefully the success of it. And then what comes next may become clearer :) My two cents.

So jealous about Minks to Sinks. I adore estate sales. Treasure hunting combined with amazing deals that haven't been marked up by the antique dealer!

Such a good post. I'd say something snotty, but nothing comes to mind. I'd say men are superior at grocery shopping, but then I'd be dragged into the process. Sign up for a CSA and the food will come to you. Like magic.

I have a basic list on the computer with blanks in the sections that might have room for something special. The list is laid out as the store is so I will not miss anything. I do love shopping. I love working the store and my pantry/freezer/dry goods storage to get what they put on sale when they put it on sale. It is an interesting experience and very fun!

Next time try harder to strip the jealousy out of your comment.

You know my system is superior in every way and that I am revolutionizing
the grocery shopping process. Soon I will start sending my little men, Jack
and Charlie, on strategic missions in the store, armed with tear-off sheets
located at the corners of the page. Take notes.

Some of us are able to struggle through daily life without affirmation for everything down to our *grocery lists,* My Child!

Re: You Just Can’t Teach This Stuff

cherbert — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 07:17:13 -0000

That would be good, alastair. Better still would be something where I
could enter my meals, generate a list, and then have a pricing
comparison analysis performed automatically.

By the way, Kate, I don't see your shopping lists anywhere on your
blog. Stop copying my grocery list layout ideas, which are brilliant,
original, and male.

Isn't there an iphone app in which you can

a) select your menus/recipes from a drop down list (or tagged photos in flickr?)
b) automatically populates the ingredients list based recipe.com databases...(5 star recipes get priority)

if not - someone should develop it....

Re: You Just Can’t Teach This Stuff

Kate F. — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 14:04:51 -0000

Oh, don't flatter yourself! I do the "arrange by food, with list of meals" lists whenever I'm doing a major grocery shop instead of just running into Trader Joe's for milk and eggs.

The male mind, indeed. Pshaw.

Charlies so cute....

You must be very proud?

cherbert — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 09:32:21 -0000

Nice. thanks, Kate. Those are not my cameras...most of them belong to
Greta's parents. For some reason, every time anyone does anything remotely
cute, every camera needs to capture the moment. even though one of hte
cameras is 500% better than the others...

I took approximately a trillion photos yesterday, which I will link you to once I upload. I know that's not the same, or even helpful, since you have about 12 cameras from what I saw. But I will send them anyway.
