Ta da!!! It's a MAGAZINE. (whew)

Bits and Pieces...

BOY do I miss the blogging world. I check in about 1xwk and try to catch up. But I thought I would just give you a few things to show what happens when one tries to build a magazine. Lol

Kate got this bad "burn type" injury when she took a rubbery racquet and stretched it over head and got it stuck. When Lauren "popped" it off, it took the top layer of skin with it.

This would be my very FIRST child who tried this. Yes, it's permanent. Yes, Magic Eraser, who I would be happy to become a spokesperson for, took it off. Kate cleaned it herself.

After two weeks of sandwiches and pizza, I finally acquiesced and let Lauren make homemade waffles. "Well, home made from a box anyway)

My new beautiful DESK!!!!!!! Well, I gotta get somethin' out of this deal!!

American (give me a) Midol

Ok, I admit I did NOT watch all of AI last night...but I caught the last 30-40 minutes. No Tif, it is not 2 hrs each time. Thank goodness. I can barely take it for one hour. How about that pornographic commercial for that new viewer-discretion-advised show? I am SO SICK of my kids viewing porn during commercial breaks. Anyhoo...

I officially reiterate my initial prediction that Michael Johns will make it to the top (what did I say initially, 5? )Well, I now say top THREE and as a matter of fact, I'll even go all the way to the final with him. Why not. Even though I haven't heard half of them sing and I didn't totally love his performance last night. He just has it.

Who else do we love? I am afraid our current "secret pleasure" is the dreadlock guy...he is a cutie and a fun singer. I wish he didn't act like such a dyot at the end though...that is my pet peeve...perfomers, actors and singers who don't know how to carry themselves AFTER a performance. Or if they win an Oscar and blow their speech....be funny, be poignant, be political heck, be BORING but don't be a fool.

P.S. Miss you guys and our inaugural issue is "at print"!!! Woohoo!

Who's this sexy mama?

American Idol

I predict Michael Johns makes it to the top 5.

I am tempted to say the final but I missed so many singing that I cannot properly judge.
Just so you know, I predicted that Taylor Hicks would win the whole thing during his first audition! Ha!

Starting the Day...

What a beautiful day! After a couple of days of rain, to see the sun shining through is uplifting! I actually LIKE grey days...makes me feel white chicken chili-ish! BUt gimme the sun everytime! Happy Happy says the sun!

Coffee is in a big fat cup.

Business meeting this morning here. Business meeting? That is so NOT a phrase I have used in my life for the last 5 years. More like, poopy diaper meeting. Awww, but I can't give up the poopy diaper meetings! But as usual, I digress...

So, all is good! I leave you with a pic of Kate's new...friend, Lol I'm gonna have to watch that girl! She's fickle! Lol

Eating Life!

No, really, I am eating a bowl of Life.
