go zoe!!!!!

my little girl with the crazy curls and huge laugh is taking her sat's today.
go zoe....we're so proud of you.

tgif...

it's been a crazy week and then to wake up and read about the natural disasters occuring in japan---you just want to scream,
'stop the madness'.
here's to an uneventful weekend.

the amazing internet...

pretty cool what's happening out there.
peace in the middle east---
maybe.

it's friday---yay...

i'm really not very good at anything before i've had my morning coffee.
which is why i like to wake up before everyone else and get the day going so that when everyone wanders
down to the kitchen i'm pleasant and making sense.
pretty bad but that's the way it is.
i'm back in new york and really looking forward to the weekend.
happy birthday elliott!

still thinking about mother's day...

um, and is this a problem?
truth-be-told this card was written by my daughter, sammy.
funny how kids think it's all about mom and dad.
and mom and dad think/know for absolute certainty it's all about the kids.
there must be some logic here but i don't know...
somehow i think this way of thinking is really healthy.
if our kids knew how much we really think about them and care about their well being
it would be pretty overwhelming....
better that they think they are not front and center.
probably gives them more room to grow and figure out who they are for themselves.

mother's day...

i'm in san diego right now visiting my sister who just had bunion surgery.
if you don't know what this is...that's a good thing.
she had the surgery december 17th and is only now getting up and around.
i was thrilled to accompany her on her first voyage back to the mall and starbucks.
i noticed many of the stores are already teeing up for mother's day so i thought i would too.
