- Our trampoline takes up slightly less than half of our backyard. The grass is growing like crazy on one half of our backyard. You’d think it was the half where the trampoline wasn’t, right? You know, the side that gets FULL SUN? Nope. Underneath the trampoline? Nice and grassy. Growing a little crazily, like in the you-might-need-to-actually-mow this type. The other side? Nothing. Absolutely, positively nothing. I don’t get it.
- I use my electric mixer more if I leave it on the counter. I personally hate leaving it there because I’d rather have the counter space, but I guess using it is better than not.
- I need a new blender. A good one. Because my last one, um, might have eaten a spatula.
- The Neighbor Wife taught Madeline two important words today: Bloomies and Neiman-Marcus. They just might serve her well someday.
- I just found out that The Fresh Beat Band is going to be at Sesame Place for a concert this summer. I cannot wait to see Madeline’s face when she sees them up close and in person. She is going to freak. I think Jamie and I might be just as excited.
- I would love to know what the heck Siobhan Magnus was wearing on American Idol tonight. I mean, some of her outfits are a little out there, but this one took the cake.
- And speaking of outfits, I’ve become fixated on Doc Martens, but not related to Siobhan. I totally want a pair.
- I just read something recently, an interview with R&B star Usher, where he mentions that he has perfected the recipe for Tuscan Egg Toast. Ok peeps, fill me in. What is Tuscan Egg Toast? It’s a new one on me.
- The Neighbor Wife has said they’ll get a spotlight put on their house so they can see Madeline sneaking out of her room when she’s in high school. Because she is destined to be that girl.
- Love the show Parenthood. So glad that the tv world found a vehicle to get Lauren Graham (she of Gilmore Girls fame) back on.

Believe it or not, I’ve never been a fan of Oreos. Even as a kid. But then, a few years ago, I discovered the chocolate filled Oreos. They are definitely an Achilles Heel of mine so I don’t buy them that often. The kids and Jamie love Oreos. Period. Any kind. On a whim, we bought the mint filled ones last week. Bad idea. Because I’ve now found a second kind of Oreos that I like.
