Thanks for all the comments guys – hope you all had a great weekend, whether it was 3 days or 2!

@ Bridget – I used Isa’s chickpea cutlet recipe and served with my mother-in-law’s home canned chutney, omg sooo good! The lentil loaf I’m still perfecting, but it’s gluten-free goodness and I will definitely post a recipe soon!

@ Lenn – Um, I want to go to *your* thrift stores! Congrats on the great finds!

@ Lauren – yeah, it feels like once it ‘clicks’ that signs are signs, then they pick up new ones much more quickly. So amazing!

@ erosan – Oh it’s so easy! It’s just a matter of being consistent, doing it over and over even though you feel like they’re not getting it. Then like Lauren said, one day they just start signing! I started around 7 months though some people start later. He didn’t sign back until 11 months or so which is pretty standard. You can find the signs online – the basic ‘firsts’ are milk, eat/food, and more. It’s really super easy! I read a book ut it was totally unnecessary. =)

@ Annie – It will be coming once I get it perfect! =)

@ Virginia – Eek! Hope you’re healing well, that’s a lot to deal with. Way to stay positive!

@ RK – Yay, have fun on Oprah! Hope you win a new car! =D

@ Heather (Perspective Is Everything) – Totally schizophrenic! Yeesh.

Ah the schizophrenic weather of February….it can be so frustrating, no?
One way I cope is with lots of tea,exercise and laughter.
My love list:
1-the show Portlandia. freakin’ hysterical.
2-teaching my daughter to serve others in a spirit of selflessness and seeing her respond in sincerity
3-henna hair dye. been doing it for 19 years now. dang. am i that old??! lol :)

I love that you taught Waits to sign. I taught both of my little ones and it was amazing for them to be able to tell us what they needed!

I have one thing this week that I am absolutely freaking out happy about:

1. My sister and I are going to Oprah!!!! We’re going to be in the audience and I couldn’t be happier. Lots of gratitude to the universe for swinging that my way :)

Loving:

1. The pictures of your little boy, in his jacket, growing up so quickly!

2. The cookbook ‘Gluten-free girl & the chef’ – picked it up yesterday. What a beautiful love story, with recipes I look forward to making and experimenting with!

3. Our beautiful, happy little girl quickly rounding the corner to 4 years old. We were at a 2 year old’s birthday party tonight, and it was so great to watch all the kids together.

My love list is all about my recovery from 2 broken wrists, broken thumb, & broken elbow.

1. Today I went back to work at the Library since my injuries. It was so nice to see all my favorite patrons again :).
2. Being able to read books easier now that casts are off and physical therapy is helping me to heal and get better.
3. My physical therapist. She is really nice despite the fact that she like to torture me!! I know she has to for me to get better but -OUCH.

Alright, it’s my turn
1. I’m finally off meds that gave me terrible side effects and had me sick in bed the past week. I’m slowly getting back into my groove. Yay!
2. I can fit into my skinny jeans now.. yes, yes because of the meds. But I’m trying to be optimistic here.
3. My hubby was overseas on VDay. But our love story was published, which totally brightened my day! Granted, it was in the free metro newspaper with terrible news and mildly entertaining gossip. Any New Yorkers see it?
