There are no sick days in freelance.

or How many jobs are too many? or No. More. Jobs.

Freelance is hectic but fun and interesting, until you get sick or in a car accident (check and check). Luckily all is okay but I will never take sick days for granted again! Or car insurance and people who have it. Or walking away from a car accident with not much more than a headache. Also loving the people over at Geico. Its like thanksgiving for me today! I could go on...

And I will actually because in other news I am officially moving into my apartment with my old flatmate, An and my new flatmate Bonnie! After an old school Indigo Girls and Ani sing-a-long the other night we realized we are going to have a fabulous time in our apartment. Keira and I have already scheduled her first sleepover at The Commune.

And again because Christina gave birth to a perfect baby boy last night! Welcome to the world Jake!

Here is a photo of a 2nd grader's collage at the Queens Museum of Art. We talked about the city at night and she made Central Park.

Life with the Reidys

My favorite co-editor, Lee, and I wrote a post about living with her 18 month old, Ellie. Since I am once again living with roommates who are too young to drink or read, I invited her back for round 2.

  1. Setting a good example has drastically improved my dental hygiene.
  2. Nobody minds if my bedtime is 9pm, but there is little choice in rising early.
  3. All the chicken fingers you can eat!
  4. Kitchen help always on hand but health department would not approve of their methods.
  5. Someone always happy to paint my nails but results are disastrous.
  6. I'm pretty much guaranteed to get valentines this year.
  7. Charlotte once followed me out the door screaming, "Jillian! I love you!!"
  8. I am an expert on Barbie movies.
  9. My new favorite book is "Children make terrible pets." In all seriousness, it's great.
