New project

I forgot to mention here that I have a new blog project called "Viva la Pappa" (loosely translated "Hooray for food" in cutesy, kid-friendly Italian) where I write about feeding and raising an Italian-American bambino. It's not a "mommy blog" per se, but I wouldn't recommend it as reading for anyone uninterested in children. Or food. Or Italy. I'm really excited about my graphics, which were created by my friend Cindy. Many of you may remember Cindy from "back in the day." We've been friends since 6th grade. She's hit the big time with her graphic design business (she designs custom stationery) in Cincinnati and works with Colin Cowie and many other famous names, which is why her stuff has been featured on Oprah. Check her out (cool video!) on the Colin Cowie Fab Friends site here. Anyway, all of this was to say that she designed the logo and graphics for Viva la Pappa. Who would have thought when Cindy and I were riding our bikes around suburban Dayton in our bathing suit tops and jean shorts (not sure quite why we did this and then why we wondered when perverts in pick-up trucks would honk their horns at us) that she'd be on Oprah, and I'd be, uh, translating stuff and writing a couple of dorky blogs...
