Good Things

1) Colleague from Chris's work calls from LA with "get Marina on the phone, I have an empty suitcase and I am at Target" ( requests: US weekly, crest whitestrips, nestle toll house morsels, and Salsa)- trust me those words were heavenly

2)Green kids- CJ is insisting we use the car less so we have been walking home from school (e.g they scooter and I jog behind them)- 1 hour later we make it back but going green CJ style will probably help me more than my fitflops . ( yes I got a new pair this year)

3)Lost- on the week break I have lowered my expectations of the answers u will provide me. I now know I will be dissatisfied but if u try to pull a Sopranoes fade to black ending on me u will see anger.

4) Babies- no not me- but everyone I know is having a baby so clothes shopping I will happily go:)

5) My Baby girl insisting on a pink prince tennis racket and then showing up on the court with a damn good backhand for a 4 year old ( so NOT my DNA in play)

6) MTV 16 and pregnant- show okay but the adorable couple from MI who gave their baby up for adoption. I truly believe they are in love- great couple who have had some tough hurdles placed in front of them and are so mature for their age ( in a good way)

7)Million $ pie- recipe from Paula Deen, pie rocks- was gone in 60 seconds at a party this weekend.

8)Not proud of it- but crazy strict school wasn't going to let little man swim with goggles during school swim class unless he had a medical note. (ridiculous - I know)
Mom to the rescue- not proud of it but sometimes bad handwriting has the benefits of looking like DR script.(e.g suffers from severe allergies that require the use of swimming goggles)

9)Chelsea Handler- u make me laugh, u haven't help me from stop swearing but I think I'll live a little longer with all the laughs I've had.

10) UK elections- we have a knock on our door every 15 seconds from someone trying to get us to vote for such and such candidate- had to let them know we can't vote here...

11) The Sun- still not warm here but we spotted a yellow circle in the sky yesterday.
