but he kisses with his gums. He gums your face or your chin or your nose and leaves a lot of drool behind. Hopefully he'll get more practice before high school because that will never fly.
Danza's playroom was an inspiration and I want all the toys she had. In fact I'm not sure what sort of things he NEEDS now that he's 8 months old. My dad's vodka tonics were an inspiration too. I make too many comments about drinking on this blog. It will worry Jeff when he reads this. I just heard back from my Dad and he said that maybe the reason that his vodka tonics tasted so good was because I was in the 'DRINKING MOOD HERE'. He always sends emails in all caps--like how I use all lower case sometimes. Mine is ee cummings and artsy--his is because it saves time.
Today I found at that at the YMCA they have childcare for while you're working out. I have no idea who the person is though...and my YMCA is a little like a old folks home and it's always had a funky vibe. and not good funky. Funk-funky. but maybe it's like a lot of things in Santa MOnica and in life--I'll see it differently now that I have a kid. But at first I got all excited and decided against canceling my membership and then I started having horrible images of some minimum wage employee slapping Leo for putting a block in his mouth. But at least if that happened I would have gotten an upper body work out.
Today--Leo stood up on his feet and balanced for about 5 seconds. He did this several times. His legs and body suddenly feel very strong and it's a little scary because you can just feel that he's ready to MOVE. He can also pick up food and shove it in his mouth. I'm already bored of the food I'm buying him..the organic jarred or pouched stuff at Whole Foods. I want to make him things. I need Jessica. Leslie made him carrots and I never fed him them to him--it's because I think they were organic and you know how they make organic food--with shit.
Speaking of MOVING....Zach is off to NY until the 16th. I did say to him as he walked out--"maybe you'll stay there!" and then felt guilty for saying it. If he ends up staying it will be my fault and Grandma Mary will be mad at me. Which means no more laundry quarters.
Jeff isn't coming back for another 3 or 4 weeks.
When I was in Indiana Danza told me how she loved visiting her Grandma and Grandpa's farm and how she associated the sounds with Indiana and that she loved it there. Indiana is so different than where we live now and I'm guessing where we'll end up living in the years to come so I know Leo will have the same kind of association. I hope.
I got a one line 'cameo' in a Brad Pitt movie. I'm almost embarrassed to say anything about it because it's basically the role of an extra but I have a line. My role is 'ticket clerk'. The scene is with Brad Pitt and I wanted to turn it down because of the 'one line' nature of it but then my agent said 'think of health insurance' and it's true--the more I do under SAG--the better. So in September I'll do 2 days on this movie. At 41 I think I'd rather do things with more LINES...but I'll deal. It will be a good story. I hope he doesn't fall in love with me. Like Eddie did.
