SANTINO, DANIEL OR CHLOE?

Another discussion topic: Project Runway finale tomorrow, 10 PM on Bravo. Am I the only asshole out there that truly loves Santino? He's such a superfreak and I really want to hang out with him. His imitation of Tim Gunn and his made up story about going to Red Lobster with Andre was so fucking funny I nearly fell off the couch. (So I guess I lied in my previous blog, I do get a good laugh in every now and then, but it's with t.v. personalities, not real people.)

So, who will win? Was Tim Gunn's confusion and silence about Daniel V.'s collection just a producer's ploy to get the audience to worry about what will happen? I mean, didn't we all think that he would win until we saw that? Hmmmm.... such a pressing question.

And for those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about - apologies. You are missing out in the worst way.

However, in order to make up for your lack of quality time spent watching obnoxious quarreling queens on reality t.v., I suggest that you tune in to UPN at 8PM tomorrow, where we shall commence yet another retarded season of America's Next Top Model.

getting real

All these fun pictures and nothing honest from me. So here goes: next week we find out where Myles matches (or doesn't match) and then we have a general idea of where we will live for the next 5 years. Funny how we're leaving for a Florida vacation on the 15th.. a day before the actual Match Day. Let us escape the madness of med students!

These days have been hard - and although some of them have been great considering that Myles isn't working too much - and I think the anticipation is killing me. Or should I say "us"? I really don't want to pick up and leave this place. If only I could choose the program and the state where Myles would do his residency... I'd relocate to a place where I could escape to the company of good old friends.

Will somebody please make me laugh? I've become such a poop. Didn't I crack up all the time a few years ago? I feel like my eyebrows have formed a permanent scowl recently. (Ew.) Ruby and Eloise do send me over the edge laughing occasionally... I shouldn't forget... but I'm missing those laughs that you have with your friends from college when you've stayed up too late and you don't make sense. Which reminds me, where are my old friends? Did I desert them to become a Doctor's wife?

(Christ I need a fruity cocktail with a generous rum floater... big fresh pineapple garnish... smelling like Coppertone... watching El and Ru splashing about... waiting for my conch fritters with spicy mayo...)

p.s. - do couples make-out anymore? Or is that just something dating people do?... like a complicated mating dance or something? Give me comments people... I need more comments!

Contrary to popular belief (considering the curls), I think my girls are destined to have my dad's hair texture. Fluffy, no?

Oh, and I forgot to mention that my folks were up for a couple of days too. My dad had a blast because the girls totally adore him now.

oh, p.s. - they don't really floss. They just like to taste the minty stuff.

Check these "rain overalls" out! They are so swishy and nylon-y in them... I love it.

Myles' dad came up on Presidents Day weekend with an early birthday present for Ru and El. He built this fabulous new table in 2 days... and the little stools to go with it. We are thrilled.

Dad, Teetee and Me

Ruby is still obsessed with my tees - and because she was sick - she insisted on dragging it around in the woods with us. Here it just looks like she's a little Linus with her regular old blankie. Why do I think this is so adorable? Maybe because I imagine we will look at it years from now and say, "Remember when we lived in Vermont and it was so beautiful in the winter?"

I'm finally understanding what it's going to mean when we leave here. The reality is creeping in and I don't like it at all!

Ooooooooh!

Hugs on the swings down by the lake. I captured a rare moment when Ruby really wanted to express affection - and as you can see, Eloise doesn't quite know what to make of it. The best part though, is that when either girl squeezes or hugs they say "ooooooooh!" and make ridiculous faces.

Ruby's Bus

So my new book arrived from Amazon - this super nice fatty book all about graphic design and typography - and guess who was coloring on the back page while I dozed on the couch? Yeah. Ms. Ru who wasn't napping...

So Myles took over at that point and decided to make a little bus out of the Amazon box that she could color on. She started to draw on her palm too. How cute is the bus? She think's it's just hers. Bummer though, because Sister El has to share. Boy do I love negotiating who's turn it is!

Eloise demonstrates her fine ability in making what she calls "swirly whirlies" with the famous yellow marker. Their artistic skills are developing at an alarming rate and it is such a treat to be able to get out all of my art supplies with them and play around. Ruby said, "Let's do a project Mommy" yesterday and I'm such a sucker that I broke out the glitter glue to make Valentines. We started working with brushes and then quickly moved into finger painting. Glitter everywhere.
