Sweet Valley Confidential 10 years later

i read every single book as a kid. I spent my junior high years in eager anticipation of the next book. I knew Jessica and Elizabeth better than I knew my friends. I finally outgrew the books in 9th grade when I found out that my high school was nothing like sweet valley high.

So i was greatly amused to see "sweet valley confidential 10 years later" on goodreads. The book doesn't come out until march but I was able to download the first chapter. It was just as corny as ever! Oh and 10 years - try 20 years people. The twins are older than me thankyouverymuch!

Is it bad that I will buy this as soon as it's released?

My favorite things...

This weekend I had a full on freak out moment. I thought I lost my makeup bag. All of my favorite things are in this bag. I was so relieved to find it in my drawer at work.

In the bag -
My favorite eye shadow palate
My favorite brushes
My eye shadow primer
And - my hello kitty MAC compact



I am so relieved I don't have to replace my makeup!

Weekly fitness update

1 1/2 hours Zumba

1 hour "Amp'd Up Abs"

2 hours on the Eliptical

2 hours climbing a "mountain" (glorified hill!)

Which is all wonderful.  So lets not talk about the food this week :)

Cookie guilt

I swore to myself I wouldn't be spreading myself as thin with volunteering but now I have cookie guilt.  Last year I was cookie mom and it almost killed me.  This year I have offered to help with anything but I refuse to be cookie mom again.

So maybe I wont be spreading myself way too thin this year, burning the candle at both ends, but by golly my kiddo is going to sell a lot of cookies.  Who needs cookies????

Over the hump!

Two days until the weekend!

I am looking forward to
1.  Dance workshop.
2.  Hanging out with friends.
3.  Picking up the husband at the airport.

Just need to make it two more days.

The negotiator.

Toddler from hell may be a little harsh.  Plus he's 3 1/2 so he really isn't a toddler.  But I'm not sure where our surprise caboose baby fits into the grand scheme of things.

This kid is smart.  Smarter than all of his siblings.  And the funny thing is his siblings are have gifted level IQs.  He blows them all out of the water.  Nothing gets past him and he will call you on everything.  He also thinks everything is up for negotiation. 

Example:  Toddler from hell is tucked into bed.  5 minutes later toddler from hell slips downstairs and is sitting on the sofa because he's "not tired".  Toddler is told that it doesn't matter that he's not tired, it's bed time and he needs to get into bed.  Toddler responds that he will not be going to bed.  Toddler is told that if he doesn't get his butt into bed immediately, he will be carried upstairs and put into bed and lose his favorite toy for the next day. Toddler then informs his mother that he no longer loves her because she makes him do things he doesn't want to.

So.  I think he will officially be known as The Negotiator.  Imagine William Shatner in the priceline commercials, but as a cute lucid 3 year old. 

Nothing compares to Nanas cooking

And she will pack it to go. Lad nah and pad see ew.
