Texting God

While at Disney, my BFF's middle girl, Lily, decided that she liked staying in my cabin. The bedroom had a bed and a bunk bed in it and she totally made herself at home on the bunkbed. Here she is in the main room of the cabin. It was so cute...she'd come over every night in her nightgown and crocs, clutching a purse or satchel or some sort filled with her "treasures". We'd stay up (probably much later than her mommy would have liked) and watch tv. One night American Idol had Kelly Clarkson on tv. Here's the conversation that occured:

Lily: Auntie, where does Kelly Clarkson live?

Me: Hmmm...I don't know, Lily.

Lily: Yes you do. You know everything, Auntie! (pause) Just ask God. He'll answer you.

(I start texting my friend Andy to have him go Google it...)

Lily: Are you texting God?

Me: Ummm...yeah.

(We watch TV in silence for a few minutes. Then Andy comes through for me.)

Lily: Is that God? What did He say?

Me: Kelly Clarkson lives on a ranch in Texas.

Lily: (with a happy little smile on her face) See, Auntie. I told you God would help us.

Doesn't that just make your heart melt????

More to Follow....

Okay - I'm back from Disney. It was a wonderful vacation.... I was so lucky to spend time with my bff and her family. Work's been nutso this week, but I'll have pics posted by the end of the weekend! I'll also try to think of something witty to write about by then as well!

Having a "Magical Evening"

I love it when you call the Disney reservation line and, at the end of your conversation, they tell you to have a magical evening. Love. It.

Dear Weight Watchers

I have a few questions about the program:

1) Last night, I ran downstairs to grab some Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies out of the freezer. The tile in the kitchen was really, really cold, so I moved pretty fast. Does that count towards activity points? (By the way, I put the GS cookies in the freezer so I wouldn't be as tempted to eat them. Bad move. Freezing them only makes them more delicious!)

2) I ate a Snickers bar for lunch today. But it was a limited edition Snickers and had coconut. Can I count that as a fruit? (Hey - I only ate 5/6 of the bar!)

Please get back to me. But not tonight because I'm off for a walk around the neighborhood to try to work off that Snickers bar....

What I Learned Today

1) Ice goes in first, then the water.
2) There is absolutely no reason why I would ever buy an Elmo Live. None. Not even if my BFF's super-cute-so-cute-I-just-can't-say-no-to-them-ever kids called me and asked for one. Not. Gonna. Doit. I hate Elmo.
3) I get really grouchy when I've used up all of my points for the day and I'm still hungry. Really grouchy. But damnit, I'm freakin' hungry. Not gonna cave, though. So I probably need to go to bed so I can stop thinking about food.....

Ahhh Choo!

So I've never been a multiple sneezer. Meaning, for the past 30 (or so!) years, I've only sneezed once. And then stopped. However, for the past 3 months, every time I sneeze I sneeze twice in a row! How in the world does that happen??? To all of a sudden, out of the blue, switch to a 2-sneezer? It baffles me.

That's what I've been wondering about today. That and "What in the world happened to Paula Abdul and Emilo Estevez?" They were such a cute couple!

Warning! Don't go to the above mentioned site unless you have at least 30 minutes to waste. You will end up thinking, "I can't believe I just spent 30 minutes looking at this crap"! But seriously, this one made me laugh so hard I almost peed myself.
