Ipod


I am off again! Flying out tomorrow for a week of training. We all know that I am a "nervous flier." I rely on my ipod and a trashy magazine to get me through each flight. So, in prepping my trusty Ipod for my trip, I thought I would share my top 10 in-flight tunes in no certain order as this blog will also be on hiatus for the week while I am away!

SO here goes!!

1. Glitter in the Air...P!nk
2. Om Narayana...Wade Imre Morisette
3. Shine On...Wade Imre Morisette
4. Let's Get it Started....Black Eyed Peas
5. Atomic....Blondie
6. Time After Time...Eva Cassidy
7. Feeling Good...Nina Simone
8. Obvious Child...Paul Simon
9. Beastie Boys...Hey Ladies and/or Body Movin'
10. Anything and Everything by Krishna Das
Bonus: Stevie Wonder and Fleetwood Mac

So, there you have it, however, odds are I will replay 1,2,3,6 (my "if I were on American Idol" daydream song) and 8 so many times they will take up the duration of the flight!

Things I Like...In-flight anti-anxiety...I saw Bret Michaels on the cover of People and hope that Glamour has some good reading too :)!!

My favorite OPI


Hooray! It is finally the season for flip flops and toe cleavage!! After the long winter, my feet are in need of some tlc, a pedicure is definitely in order! Try as I might to change my pattern, I am a creature of habit and always reach for my favorite OPI shade of red to decorate my toes (actually, I bring my own bottle with me!)drum roll please.....I'm Not Really A Waitress! This is definitely the best red out there and will make your toes pop!! Great for the everyday flip flop or a dressy pair of wedges.

Mitia


So...I asked hubby what I should blog about tonight having hit a creative wall...and thinking he is funny he snidely replied, "you never blog about me,I just want you to like me." So, here is to my darling husband, the person in the world I like the most.

Things I like, love, adore...I won the lottery of love :)

Spoon(s)


We read two of the cutest books tonight!! Spoon by Amy Krouse Rosenthal was one of them...the other I will save for another blog! Spoon is about a spoon who is feeling "blue" because he does not think himself as interesting or exciting as fork, knife or chopsticks. Spoon thinks they have all of the fun and have the most important jobs. Little does spoon know that fork, knife and chopsticks envy HIM and his jobs...banging on pots and pans, diving head first into ice cream, taking a hot soak in tea. This is a really creative, adorable read!! It holds great lessons...appreciate who you are, obviously, but also a lesson about being creative. This author wrote about a spoon! She looked around her house and made up a wonderful story about a utensil! Next time my kids are uninspired, I will remind them to study their environment and to think about Spoon...and how creativity is boundless!

Miniluxe


My tootsies and my psyche are in need of some pampering and I would love nothing more than to head on over to a Miniluxe for an awesome pedi. But, alas, here in Rochie, Miniluxe is not an option. I am hoping that they franchise outside of the Boston area because they really do offer the perfect pedicure...not too low end sticky(you know what I mean) not high end spa that eats up hours of your day...just a clean, hospital grade clean!, cool, very cool, GOOD, VERY GOOD pedicure....at a very reasonable price. Next time I am in Boston I will definitely try to make some time to pretty up my peds.

Things I Like...Miniluxe...we need to get them to franchise!!

My favorite lunch....


This has become an addiction...and no, I am not pregnant...and no, I don't eat it fried like Elvis. I simply toast a slice of Wegmans whole grain bread(delish!), smear on some Wegmans organic crunchy peanut butter (the best peanut butter ever!) and slice up a banana on top...soo good! Pair this healthy sandwich with a glass of (chocolate) skim milk and you have a vitamin and mineral frenzy for lunch!

endless neon ponyball


My sanity needs this. Every morning I find myself frantically searching drawers for elastic hairbands. Anna has such thick hair she usually needs 2 elastic hair bands for a pony tail and 4 to hold in pig tails....and once her hair is all set, the search begins for two hair bands to hold my hair back in the pony tail that my hair undoubtedly ends up in each day. I feel like I buy a pack of hair bands every month, and I have no idea where they disappear to. You think I would be smart enough to start an elastic hair band ball on my own....but I don't think I have the patience....and as I said, can only scrounge up 6 hair bands on a good day....6 does not a ball make. I have tried keeping them in designated drawers and even bought a little bin to try and organize them and keep them together within the drawer...still, it seems that someone in my home is eating these things....I just don't get how they disappear. So perhaps we try the ball....I can part with $16.50 to get some sanity and time back in the morning.
