Today I went on a walk with Senor Onion and we passed by a house that had a sign that said, "No soliciting". I suddenly remembered when I was eight I had learned that one definition for soliciting had to do with prostitution. (I had recently read "Auntie Mame" where the word was mentioned and I couldn't find the meaning in my children's dictionary so I looked it up in another dictionary) So one day I was walking home and I noticed a few homes on one block had signs that said, "no soliciting" and I remember thinking, "Woah. Is prostitution a real problem around here?" What kind of weird town is this?"

When we came home from our walk I realized that Senor Onion's little stuffed animal Baby Curls was missing. I was removing him from his stroller and I said, "Oh Noes! Where is Baby Curls?" I half-expected dramatic music to follow after I spoke. I put Alex on my hip and back-tracked and thankfully found Baby Curls just one block away.

For local folks, the people who brought Seattle, Blue C sushi are opening a Japanese-style noodle house. Nothing like a big ol' bowl of noodles.

This weekend I need to go to the Pike Place Market and load up on a few staples. I should make someone go with me.

HAHA! Reminds me of my own wacky childhood explanations of the world that had to be discarded at some point.

And also, I was so excited to read that bit about the noodle shop this morning--when I was travelling there, some of my favorite japanese meals were in the ramen shops. We certainly don't have our share here. I'd been planning to spread the news as well.
