the paradox

one of the Madoff's "victims" is a writer Alexandra Penney who wrote a best seller "How to make love to a man"
she has been retired and was enjoying her life as an artist till the call came down
and she found herself writing again to pay bills
what media just did for her, no writing will do
her books will and already are being checked out in libraries and flying off the shelves in stores :)
she calls madoff names now
but she maybe thanking him again very soon

Dear Renee Zellweger,
if you ever get an offer to play Bettie Page, please, do not decline :)
RIP Bettie Page

I love 30ROCK so much, I wanna take it out behind a middle school and get it pregnant  :)

this sunday at this place this musik
i am going

ну что, господа, допрыгались
ПОЗДРАВЛЯЮ, голубчики

for some odd reason decided to teach kids a bit about judaism and its few traditions we are willing to observe. i read to them what Yom Kippur is all about and we kissed and hugged and asked for forgiveness and promised to hurt each others feelings a bit less this year. not a minute passes boys get into a jumble and we envelope ourselves into STOP, YOU ARE MEAN, I D'ONT LIKE YOU RIGHT NOW and few more pleasantries. but a humorous part does come, at the end of the day, when i ask them to take bath and Maxim fires out

- Mom, it's Yom Kippur, no bath, remember :)

ok, explain to me how is it possible to have a jew for a chief political advisor and be a flaming anti-Israelite  (good article)
i guess many classical historical examples can support this relationship
for instance "Maury" and Stringer Bell :)

 after discussing aging with kids Ilia announced
- I know how I will stay a kid, cancel all my birthdays!

what is this second child phenomenon, is there such a thing. he has a "clue". he intuitively knows so much more than his older brother. 
they drew a picture together and i commented that it was "a joint effort", not trivial, i did not say "you did it together". in the back of my mind i knew maxim did not know what it meant or at least had to think about it, so i asked both of them and Ilia knew. I knew he knew :)

 He did it again. This time Phelps said: "There's so much emotion going through my head and so much excitement. I kind of just want to see my mom. "
Ohh, such a Baltimore boy. He looks stunning in water, unhuman like, it is hard for me to see him on land, looks awkward kinda, out of his element, whereas Peirsol is very good looking, may be too good for a man who spends most of his time underwater. He's got the 20's look, my favorite.

Maxim and Ilia are answering questions from "Brainquest"  for 2nd graders:
- Ilia, what animal is called a "man's best friend"
- a girl :)

might be kinda fun :)

 ahh! only in berkeley we can leave our kids with neighbors and enjoy an evening of chocolates from subsaharan Africa, bottomless wine from California and a documentary about Yenisei and Tuva

if you are a pinch feminine and a dash of masculine, slightly jewish, moderately russian and heavily into fiction then reading
"Beyond the Pale" will leave you bone dry in the eyes, weak in the judgment and hopeless for any kind of evolution of humanity
because people do not change
i was marathoning this season of House on fox.com and e14, Don't Ever Change, agreed with me very well, why was it sooo underrated
why do i ask...

природа подарила мне два замечательных человечка и я очень сильно стараюсь их не испортить

"если ты не съешь этот кусок мяса, ты не будешь смотреть телевизор" не работает
через два дня дети разговаривают друг с другом именно так и меня это бесит

детей нужно растить а не воспитывать

я заметила что я менее хорошая мама когда папа дома и нам приходится делить обязанности, чем когда папа не дома и я ни на кого не расчитываю и отвечаю за всё сама

в детях я вижу будущее а в муже не настоящее

мы, все мы, слишком мало проводим времени наедине с собой и дорого за это платим

the meaning of safe sex was redefined yesterday, when shaking like an autumn leaf i finally brought myself up to going to bed. you see, it is very cold in our house, even when it is worm, which is not very often, it is still cold. we have central heating system blowing cool to worm air from holes in the floor every time the temperature drops below 64F.
the air unfortunately does not like to stay in the house for a long time and escapes very quickly prompting the blowing to start again. with the blowing comes dry skin and nasal passages, allergens and annoying noise, so at night we turn the whole darn thing off.
i went to bed wearing a pair of socks, t-shirt, pajama top and bottom, hat and could not get warm enough to fall asleep and when i finally did, about an 1 hour later, was awakened by you know who to do you know what.
honestly, almost needed garmin here. after a bit of searching, i came to wearing a pair of socks and a hat, very worm and cozy :)

often guitar and other strings are compared to a feminine shape. not only the body of the instrument resembles the deeper curves, the plucking of the strings is reminiscent of stroking of all the readily available erogenous zones in the feminine. at any given moment there are at least six very well publicized and critically acclaimed spots and often we like all of them to be activated all at once, but also every femina has her very own special secret spot. it really is an art (or is it hard work) to please a woman. which brings me to last conclusion or rather a...

can i safely postulate that an amazing string musician is a fantastic sex artist? there are plenty of exceptions and some scientists are wonderful husbands ;)

after very close inspection of cat's paws and discovering 
that their "fingers" have skin, Ilia proclaimed that we have 
a "human" cat and on the contrary he is a "cat" human 
because he can meow and scratch and stand on all fours

В пятницу, 11го Января несмотря на все мои уговоры что когда они там, нам спокойнее, моя сестра родила
маленькую, мягенькую Морган Кейли Робертс 
приветствуем тебя,  дорогой родной человек
я буду хорошей тётей









 

Sandi, 18, over for dinner and informal playdate with boys, kinda sitting them but not getting paid 
Ilia, almost 4, to Sandi sitting next to her at the dinner table:
-I want to eat you up
Sandi:
-Eat your dinner first and then will see if you have any space left for me

Boys were completely enchanted by her. I wish we had Sandies when I was growing up.

 we, mothers,  have finally  been given a green light to fantasize!
