September 2008 Issue of Family Fun

 I always wanted to write. To be a travel journalist, live like a resident, see it as a tourist. It hasn't worked out that way so far... Someday... In the meantime, check out page 80 in the September issue of Family Fun Magazine. In the box on the lower left-hand side of the page is my idea! I love Family Fun Magazine. We have subscribed to it since my second child was born, some fifteen years ago. It's changed some, and some not. It has excellent articles and they are all geared towards being a family...I love that! My favorite section is the cooking articles. I love to try new recipes and FF gears theirs so I can actually cook a great recipe with simplicity so the kiddos can do most of the work! Again, page 80...check it out!

High School Musical 3...and the Mini-Superstar!

The alarm clock downstairs rang announcing today was the day for High School Musical 3 and the mini-superstar living in our basement. Today was the big day. My second child was selected as an "extra" in the filming of High School Musical 3 . Oh, he was excited. He took forever getting ready. Shower, then an extra-long facial, followed by hair gel, hair spray, and my guess, cologne as well. He put on his brown cargo pants and Abercrombie and Fitch shirt and loaded his backpack with his change of clothes. And then, at 8:30 am he stood in the kitchen all gussied up with backpack on and ready. We had to tell him that check-in wasn't for 2-hours and settle in. I think he was sure the clocks had stopped. The excitement was killing him. Finally, it was time to go. As my husband covered instructions with him, what the money was for, where to meet for pick up, where the payphone was, here's your lunch, blah, blah, blah....my son's only response was, "Can...

Turning 40--Thank Heavens for Jon Bon Jovi

  40 is NOT What I Thought It Would Be I'm not going to lie. It happened. I turned 40. If only it was THAT simple. You also know that my birthday is a BIG deal if you know me. I count down. I remind you periodically that my birthday is coming. It's typically a week before, the day of, and a week after the celebration. When it's over, I remind you that it all starts again in just 364 more days. It started innocently enough. My routine was not even the slightest bit disrupted. The countdown had begun! This was a momentous year. One of those years you look forward to, like 16, 21, 30...there was a giddiness in me and a bounce to my stride. Then, about four hours before the minute of my birth was to be reached, I heard forty screaming for me to join the "Dark Side." I kid you not. Even the heavy breathing, though that quite possibly could have been me reaching the top of the stairs. Why did it happen? I have no clue. Suddenly, my parade of celebration was a death marc...
