How were your holidays?  Ours were great.  Filled with family and fun and presents.

What I wanted to share with you are all the amazing abilities of Google that I never knew about before!

That’s what Eva yells every time she sees me get out her bathing suite because she knows what is coming.  Here is my little fishy in action this past weekend.  I love the ones where she is mid air.
Can you see what a little performer she is?

I am a saver and a procrastinator with ADD.  You know what that means for my inbox?  It means that I have 1200 messages in Outlook.  Yep 1200.  One two double zero. 

When I saw this number last night I screamed at myself…”How did I get here!?” 

This is how.  Every morning I have about 30 new emails most of which are junk.  My procrastination means that I only click on ...

How do crumbs find there way into my silverware drawer and cupboards when there is no food near them?

I watched MILK finally last week.  DH and I were silent throughout the whole movie which is rare.  I came up with a new slogan “Guns don’t kill people, HATE kills people.”  Wouldn’t that be great for an anti-hate website?

We have ALIENS in our house.  At least I think that’s what the baby monitor is trying to tell me.  Remember in the movie ...

I finished reading New Moon in two days.  Yes there was a little bit of that ooey gooey teenage mushy romance that made me want to vomit but really not very much.  I can’t wait for the movie.  I am so addicted to these characters.  I haven’t read a book like that in a long time so it was kind of nice to be able to escape into something that way.

Eva’s favorite book right now is Goodnight Gorilla.  It is the perfect book ...

Enjoy!

JACK (age 3) was watching his Mom breast-feeding his new baby sister. After a while he asked: ‘Mom why have you got two? Is one for hot and one for cold milk?

MELANIE (age 5) asked her Granny how old she was. Granny replied she
was so old she didn’t remember any more. Melanie said, ‘If you don’t
remember you must look in the back of your panties. Mine say five to six.’

STEVEN (age 3) hugged and kissed his Mom good night. ‘I love you so much that when ...
