Think I've found a new favorite restaurant, Fork in Lincoln Square. We went with Lucy on an early dinner at 5pm on Saturday. Used to be Fiddlehead Cafe. But I'm a big fan. Lots of space for the high chair, and very kid friendly. We saw 3 other babies there. But the pork belly was awesome, and the gnocchi, while a little larger than I'm used it, was still light and fluffy and sauced great. Seriously tasty. Love that place. Can't wait to go back. And Lucy lasted about and hour and half before she started getting restless. Not bad. Made a Home Depot run earlier in the day, and got a haircut as well. Did some sanding on Sunday, but no staining since snow and slush last night. Also found out there's an Al's Beef just a few blocks from home. Not the best thing to know now. Also, Mike and Amy and Caden dropped by and picked up the exersaucer since Lucy's not really using it anymore. Made waffles for the first time in a long time on Sunday morning. That was nice. No bacon though. That was sad. Also trying OmniFocus again. Mostly just for work stuff, and I'm probably already doing it wrong with my giant list of tasks, and the constant addition of new items every day. But I'm trying. Especially trying to document as things come in, so I'm not just working willy-nilly on the next new shiny item.

A mere three days between posts. Better. Went with McDonald's Filet O' Fishes for lunch today, instead of sushi. Had a slice of peanut butter pie yesterday, that was interesting. Too sweet, and not enough chocolate crust. Started reading Wild Cards post Harry Potter. It's a rerelease with 3 new stories. So that's different, reading a new storyline. Hoping they get around to republishing the entire series so I can buy eBook versions. Been sleeping on the couch lately, party because of the late work, and not because I'm in the doghouse, but I actually find it more comfortable than the bed. Going to Home Depot this weekend to get stuff to summerize the deck. With spring weather coming around, starting to get ants again. Odd that we get them on the fourth floor. Makes me wonder if they're coming down from the deck.

Geez. Awful. Another 7 days. Finished up Harry Potter, and actually kind of drawing a blank on what to read next. Not sure what direction to go in. Feels like I need a palette cleaner, something fluffy and light. Maybe another round of Soon I Will Be Invincible. That's pretty light and easy. Still haven't seen Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 yet. Not available through Redbox or Netflix. In the midst of Lent, and I'm getting my fill of sushi. Been going to Sushi Sai for lunch the last 3 Fridays. Yum. But actually might be overdosing on it. So might have to cut down. Weather got hot this past weekend. Too hot. I'm actually enjoying the current high 50's, low 60's. It's pretty perfect in my humble opinion. Not looking forward to the heat of summer. Got our taxes done, or more accurately, the family accountant got our taxes done. Crazy. Another refund. So crazy getting those.

Yeah. Days go by, no updates. It's like I don't even have a blog anymore. Lucy's great, but was pooping a lot. Switched over to food from jars, and seems to have stabilized a little. Hopefully. Been working, a lot. Also plowing through Harry Potter books. On Deathly Hallows now, and been about 4 weeks since I started. Also, as I've been finishing a book, I put the movie on in the background. Always interesting to see what makes it and what doesn't, and what gets changed. Oh, also with Lucy, tried going to breakfast with her before her morning nap. Works out pretty well I think. Well, kind of. Maybe every other trip out is super calm and easy, then a little hyper and active. But still a great baby. Also been watching a lot of Outsourced on Hulu. Pretty good show. The movie does translate pretty well into a sitcom. Figure I should start riding the bike again. It's about time. Not sure how to handle the logistics though, taking or picking Lucy up from grandma's. Somewhat related topic, ran into Mrs. Klos at the train station, when I was coming back from lunch. Small world, well, not that small, but still small world.
