A while ago, I discovered this song from my mom (of all people!) – from her copy of a Hotel Costes mix. Yes, my mom has a Hotel Costes mix – is she uber-hip or what?
As the title mentions, I have no idea where to begin, I’ve got a lot running thru my head right now…
*I picked up my new glasses (cute little Prada frames with subtle bling)
*I went crazy at the bookstore and picked up 4 new books to read (I need to get a library card, buying full price is expensive!). I’m trying to venture out into different topics as to keep my brain working, so I picked up the following books:
The Audacity of Hope: Thoughs on Reclaiming the American Dream by Barack Obama
The Story of French by Jean-Benoit Nadeau, Julie Barlow
The Canon: A Whirligig Tour of the Beautiful Basics of Science by Natalie Angier
Anything that involves a “whirligig” sounds like fun!
Alice Waters and Chez Panisse by Thomas McNamee
*Mads is still on her Nemo kick, but when we do put the DVD on, she asks, “turtle?” Is is sad that I know that the Sea Turtle scene is #16 on the DVD?
But after watching Nemo for like, a jillion times, I’ve started to take notice of a few things. For example, Nemo’s friends at school, it’s the dads that are dropping off their kids. The turtle scene also lacks mama turtles. When Nemo gets scooped up by the diver, I thought it pretty rude that none of the class went to help (survival instinct, I suppose). Also, when Nemo is freed from the aquarium, he forgets his tank buddies, just like that – not that he could do much to help – but you get the idea.
*The search is over…I hope. I’ve got an occasion of sorts next week and have been frantically trying to find a dress, or two, or three. I found a cute little frock here and found a more casual one here. For the third, I may just recycle an older one from her.
*We’ve bought our tickets and will be visiting famille Rebaud later this summer. We’d like to take a side vacay, but with the price of airlines tickets, along with the price of gas/oil, and the weak dollar, I’m thinking exploring Paris may be just enough (financially). I’m not complaining, really!
*Not only can I listen to Madonna’s new single, I can watch the video over and over and over.
Okay a partial brain dump…I’ve got to convince a 20-month old to take a bath – not her favorite thing to do right now. Wish me luck!
