( Nita's rules for life )
There you go. How I try to live my life in a few simple rules.

If you're ever in Mississauga and looking for dinner, and you like Italian - check out Alioli Ristorante.

bridgeoutahead, the_real_crispy, woodardp and I went there last Saturday before the show on a whim for dinner. I found it through Google's map service.

Dear gods.

It was sooo good. Service was excellent and unobtrusive, with just enough personality to make it interesting. The food was amazing (I had a black & white fettuccine (squid ink pasta & regular pasta pressed together through the pasta maker - beautiful) with baby clams & shrimp, tomatoes, green onions, white wine, garlic olive oil with blackened jumbo shrimp on top - oh gods - sooo good). Prices were decent considering the level of the food & the service. It isn't cheap, but it is totally worth it.

I cannot recommend this place more - it was lovely, and I want to go back.

I'm starting to think of dying my own yarns. I'm enjoying the knitting, and getting to create my own colourways appeals to me.

This is mostly for my own references.

From Speech Development in the Infant and Toddler, by Debbie Reese; June 1998

At 2 years of age, the child can combine words, forming simple sentences like "Daddy go."

At 3 years of age, the child can use sentences two- to four-words long, follow simple instructions, and often repeat words he/she overhears in conversations.

At 4 years of age, the child can understand most sentences, understands physical relationships (on, in, under), uses sentences that are four- or five-words long, can say his/her name, age, and sex, and uses pronouns. Strangers can understand the child’s spoken language.
