Happy Chrismukkah
We all know about the St. Nicholas Day Debacle during which Mr. Little Man opened all his gifts. The thing about that is that if you are Mr. Little Man and you relay this little fact to your grandparents, in a short matter of time a whole new slew of gifts will appear at the front door. Just like magic!
The gifts will also come with instructions that you may open 1 gift each day until Christmas, leading us to refer to the season as Chrismukkah (We have been opening gifts for 10 days, which is a wee bit longer that the Hannukah season, but go with it).
I'd always planned that my parents gift to Mr. Little Man would be from them and that I would buy gifts from "Santa". It has become clear that Santa can NOT compete with Omi and Grandpa. It can not be done. Just can't. Those folks are out of control.
In other news, Mr. Little Man has been asked to leave his second daycare in 2
months. As one can imagine this can be a wee bit stressful so now I am looking into hiring a nanny. I absolutely hate the idea of a nanny, but we are going to try to make it work.
I am trying to compile a list of interview questions and that isn't going so well. Its very wierd to think that there will be a complete stranger in my house taking care of my child. Despite the fact that I broadcast my business to the Internet I am (in some regards) a private person. I've lived with people who didn't know I dyed my hair, have 4 half sisters or speak more than 1 language.
What I am reading: Craigslist. Craigslist is like the who's who of freaks (shut up, I love The Best of Craig). I once read an ad there written by 2 fashion designers that were looking for a model. There were explicit in advising that although they were gay they were only "occassionally" together. They essentially wanted a model that was a size 12 who they could "spoil". I am not sure what that meant, but I thought about it for months.
What I am listening to: Zero7 - The Garden. I know I have mentioned my love for Zero7 before, but this album is weak at times. I miss Sophie Barker (The Christine McVey to Sia's Stevie Nicks) and Tina Dico. Also, Jose Gonzalez is the poor man's Mozez. Gonzalez is great as a folk singer, but he needs more soul to pull off some of these songs and he just doesn't have it.
