My sister is obsessed with blogs and has one of her own. Okay, maybe obsessed is a strong word, but I think she's used it herself. Anyway, she has been posting all these random polls (for lack of a better word.) I'm sure you've seen many of these come through your email inbox, but she's found some rather unusual ones (or made them up herself.) Anyway, because it's Friday and I'm in a good mood, I'm gonna do one or two here. Go ahead and check out her blog - I'm sure she'll come up with some new and interesting ones in the next few days. I'm not sure where she finds these, but if you like them, she's the go to girl.

Now, having done that, on we go ...

I'm really not thrilled with the formatting of this - all the bold and not bold crap. Eh well, I don't care enough to fix it.




Tonight I start my yoga class. Last week was postponed due to the weather. I'm so excited to have some time each week where I can focus on myself and doing what is right for my body. LOVE THAT. And it's not gonna hurt that DDFF and I are hitting some sushi afterwards. YUM.



B and I have been waiting for something for a long long long time. It was, in theory, only going to take a couple of weeks. It ended up taking 10 long months and lots of struggle. Finally, it came to pass this past Wednesday. I have to say, somethings are just worth the wait. Halle-freaking-lujah.



You know what? I sat down here and was going to write this big long post about life, current events (GO Obama!!!, Welcome home to 2 abducted boys, what the hell is Paula Abdule smoking?,) music choices, literary discoveries, and cooking experiments, but the fact is that my kids are just more important. It appears they have turned the playroom into a gourmet restaurant - and they are insisting that I'm hungry. How about that? All this time I thought that growling was my inner beast. Turns out, it's an apparently empty stomach.



Happy Friday!
