“Sometimes I sneeze when I get excited because it’s like blowing confetti out of my nose. ” – Mia

“I have a lot in common with Daphne from Scooby Doo. I’m pretty. I’m popular. I sometimes wear the same outfit 3 days in a row. I also wear a headband.” – Mark’s sister’s 8 year old neighbor

“I’m allergic to unicorns.” – Claudine

“Sometimes when I get excited I don’t show it. I just wiggle my toes instead.” – Mia

“Do you know Lady Gaga? What?!? You live in NY and you don’t know Lady Gaga??” – the same 8 year old neighbor to Mia

(rolls eyes) “I think everyone in the whole wide world knows by now that Mia was in the hospital.” – Claudine

This might be the busiest weekend ever.

Gift boxes and multiple deadlines.

We are going to break the rule and order take out every night this weekend. Who has time to cook? That is why we live in NYC.

Sometimes I wish we had a housekeeper. Or at least Rosie the Robot Maid from the Jetsons. Ooh and that dreamy instant food machine thing that spits out any food you want.

But I’d still want to vacuum. Yes, because I really like to vacuum, but maybe it’s because we have one of these Danish machines (and no, we did not pay $799 – it was paid for during a settlement – another story for another time).

Happy weekend.

His name is tobi and he’s old and fat. He stays in our room 90% of the time and rarely ventures out. Wonder why.
