Filing for Bankruptcy

As I was powerwalking the mall today I noticed a huge sign that was plastered over a "store in progress" that read: COMING SOON, SEPHORA. It may as well have said: YOU WILL SPEND ALL OF YOUR MONEY HERE AND HAVE TO FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY. Any of you who know me at all know that I am a product junkie/whore. Makeup, lip gloss, body lotion, facial masks, I love it all. I can do without the expensive clothes, shoes and handbags, but bring on the enzyme peel and shimmer powder. Until now, I had to drive to King of Prussia or order online and wait for DAYS. Now that I will no longer have to travel or pay shipping costs, the prospect of instant gratification in going to the mall and pretty much being able to get any product that I desire is a little terrifying. I may have to boycot the mall altogether and in the winter that is pretty much sanity suicide. Why, Sephora, why?????????????????

My Baby is Four

Georgia's actual birthday on Saturday was relatively uneventful, but she did have her name announced at the Revolution game. What did she expect after the most fabulous Princess Dress Up Tea Party ever???? She was actually confused when everyone was wishing her a happy birthday. She kept asking me, "is it my next birthday?!?" I really can't believe that my baby is FOUR!

Free Agent

Right now I am sitting at my computer and liesurely drinking my coffee without Hughie attempting to shove plastic knives down the air vents or Georgia whining that she HAS TO WATCH MAX AND RUBY. The sun is shining and I'm trying my best to enjoy this little piece of heaven that I'm experiencing. Hugh is with Chris at Glo's and G-Ro is with Aunt Mandi. I have so many options, I'm not quite sure what to do with myself. Go to the gym for two hours? Pedi? A nice, peaceful trip to the grocery store? Target? Pottery Barn Outlet? Vegas? The possibilities are endless. I'll probably end up cleaning because the cleaning lady comes tomorrow - we all know how that goes. Regardless, it will be theraputic because I will be able to do it uninterrupted and with cheesy country blaring in the background. Chris (Glo) and Mandi, thank you for this gift!!

With the boys out of town, G-Ro and I spent the past two days with Mimi and Papa. We hit two York Revolution baseball games (my first). Yesterday was "bring your dog to the park" day and they had a golden retriever named Jack who served as both bat boy and water boy. Between innings Jack would trot out to each umpire with a basket full of water bottles and wait until they had a drink and then trot off to the next umpire. It was amazing. The SPCA was there showing off some really cute adoptables and I *almost* came home with a yellow lab/basset hound mix named "Riley." He was insanely adorable!

Hundred Dollar Nation

"Mommy, I want to watch Hundred Dollar Nation."

"Hundred Dollar Nation?!? I have no clue what you're talking about Georgia."

"MOMMMMMYYYY, you know, HUNDRED DOLLAR NATION!!"

"Georgia, seriously, I don't know what your'e talking about."

"The movie with the puppies with the SPOTS!"

"Oh, you mean One Hundred and One Dalmations."

"Yes, Mommy, Hundred Dollar Nation."

We're planning a trip to Western India . . .

Muslims in western India have been throwing their young children off a shrine in Solapur, in western India's Maharastra, for more than five hundred years. Why, you ask? TO IMPROVE THEIR HEALTH. You don't believe me? Have a peek.

As much as I think it would be great video op for the blog, I'm sticking with plenty of fresh air, exercise and vitamins for my kids. Call me crazy.

My Cougar Idol

Someday when I'm 50 and I have a hot 20 year old boyfriend (and everyone is whispering and staring in awe), let it be known that Kim Cattral was my inspiration.
