Or as I like to call it – watching the MTV VMA show. (This makes up for the hours I listen to the classical station or NPR in the car.)

Let’s get it over – poor, poor Britney. Poor Britney. Under so much pressure to deliver and she doesn’t. It was painful to watch. Time for her to “retire”. But don’t rip on the paunch – she’s had two kids and looks better than me after having one.  So yes, there were folks that I hadn’t heard of…some that I’m tired of hearing of (Hey There Delilah…anyone?)…and that John Norris – he obvs didn’t check a mirror before he went on-air. His stylist needs to go. Thought Justin Timberlake’s stab at reality shows on MTV in front of LC, Audrina & Whitney was pretty funny, am looking forward to watching last night’s ep.

Birthday Bonanza

The past weekend we went to three, yes three!, birthday parties!

Friday was a surprise party for my mom at the ever-so-fun Tonga Room at the Fairmont – and boy was she surprised! We celebrated with friends & family. My uncle even tried to get a former flame to attend – his agent said he’d go for $5k!

Saturday, was a surprise party for my uncle – a lovely group dinner at Greens. Greens is probably SF’s oldest vegetarian resto with a fabulous location – Fort Mason – and spectacular views! (This, surprisingly, was my first time there!) Mads was “well-behaved”, enjoying her vegetarian eats (corn empanadas) and especially enjoying the chocolate birthday cake.

Sunday, we headed down to the children’s playground at Yerba Buena Gardens at Moscone Center for a birthday celebration for a “friend” of Mads’ (read: a fellow day care attendee). This was the first time at this particular park for us and Mads LOVED it! The slides here are higher and faster and telling by the look on her face, this peanut is a thrill seeker! We’ll be back here for sure.

No, I haven’t found a time capsule yet – I’ve got until 2024, right?
