1. Pad Thai from a cafeteria isn't really pad thai. FYI. Yuck.
2. I was crazy motivated earlier this week. I got a ton of stuff done. Today? Ha. I can barely stay awake despite getting 8 hrs of sleep last night.
3. I can't believe the kids only have 2 weeks of school left. I can't believe I am going to have 2nd graders. Really?
4. Why does vacation planning have to be so stressful? My dad wants us to go spend it with him, but we did last year and L is not going to do it 2 years in a row. Plus, we have to do it a very specific week based on childcare. And not much money to do it.
5. I am going to move mountains to go to Disney in Jan/Feb though. And no one outside the 4 of us are invited.
6. I think I just pissed off someone at work. Oh well.
7. I have no idea what we are eating for dinner tonight. It is going to be raining...so no grilling. And we don't have any food in the house. Humph.
1. Our heat stops working. The landlord comes over and it works. It stops working. The heater repair guy shows up and it works. I hate our heater. And I hate sleeping in a cold house.
2. This afternoon is the babies' 1-year well visit. I'm hoping for all good news, and that the doctor is happy with their weight gain. I think they are both very close to the tripling-birth-weight goal for first birthdays, so that's good.
3. I hate the shots, but I admit that I don't mind the long naps afterward
4. I sent a general inquiry to a listserv I'm on to get recommendations for restaurants in the town we're visiting this weekend. I got about 20 responses and then felt obliged to write back to every person to say thank you and make a comment about their ideas, which took forever and was probably totally unnecessary.
5. I finished writing my first article for an industry newsletter and sent it off. It was only 1,000 words but it took forever. I am praying that I caught all the grammar mistakes. It was good to dust off the ol' brain cells for something besides a cover letter.
6. I just gloss over every headline I see about London - I can't deal with it.
7. I'm going to start doing P90X again. I have to do something and I'm clearly not committed to driving across town to my gym with the babies in tow.
8. We have random pork pieces to use up for dinner tonight. I think I'm just going to cut them up and make an easy pork chili.
9. I want to go to the movies.
10. I hope the babies are nice to my mom this weekend. I think she is in for a bit of a shock, keeping them for 48 hours.

1. My parents and their dog are staying with us for 2 nights this weekend. Grant me some patience.
2. Work has been busy this week and I haven't been here much. Or I log in and then don't get the time to post.
3. I can't believe May is nearly over.
4. I have a new recipe in the crockpot at home. I hope a) it turns out and b) E likes it.
5. So glad to be having a 3 day weekend. I hope it actually involves some extra rest.
6. Late this afternoon is a PTSA fundraiser thing at the school, we will go, but hopefully go home for dinner shortly thereafter.
7. I faxed in the first round of papers for my house re-fi. Now I have to schedule the appraisal.
8. #7 requires that the bonus room where E's toys are is made presentable. On my list to do (and involve E in the purge/organization), now it has to move to the top.
9. Weekend forecast is meh. I want to grill fresh Copper River salmon this weekend, rain give me a break!
10. I hope everyone has fun/relaxing plans for the weekend!
1. I miss google reader. I am usually on my iPhone & not a computer and haven't switched blogs to a new service,
2. I am so behind on my blog for similar reason.
3. I had to work today & nearly forgot b's swim class!
4. Which also means I didn't have dinner ready. So, we are either eating laaaate or drive thru. Neither option I like.
5. I am really mad at Arizona on Grey's. flirting= ok. Cheating and a break up? Why do you have to do that to the lesbians?
6. I am hosting a rotating neighborhood play group tomorrow for the first time. I really hope the weather is nice!
7. I could not be happier with the neighborhood we chose to live in. So many other things in my life feel right because of it.
8. One ex-- Carrot and a friend were in the yard, I got in the shower. I got out, 3 kids were inside, playing. While I walked from the bathroom to our bedroom in only a towel. I know none of the parents would be weirded out. Being a lesbian couple is a non issue.
9. I lead a "churches & chocolates" bus tour with a group of senior citizens today -- found myself using gender neutral language for the first time in a long time. Hey, I want big tips
