  12. Hi Tali,

    Sorry to hear that you and your mom aren’t speaking. My parents and I went through a patch earlier this year where we didn’t speak for months. Hang in there — it’ll pass.

  16. Hi Katee,

    Too funny about the concert!

    Speaking of parents watching Pearl Jam, mine went to a Rolling Stones concert a few years ago and Pearl Jam was the opening act. They called me from the concert to tell me that they were watching “The Pearl Jam” on stage, LOLOLOL!

  17. Hi Tuprnut,

    Oh no… why are you uneasy today?

    I like scarves, too. During the winter I like colorful pashmina scarves (yeah, I know they’re totally out of style but I still love them) because they are warm but not bulky. In the spring I like to wear printed ones from Banana Republic. 🙂

  20. Hi YadiQ,

    Sorry to hear you’ve been having trubs sleeping. My last two nights have been rough, too. Having Tabs go crazy in the wee hours doesn’t seem to help, either.

    LOL, you are the only other person I know who likes ginger ale!

  21. Hi Ines,

    Gah! Thank you for reminding me that I need to stretch! I have terribly tight hamstrings and need to get myself to yoga class ASAP.

  23. Hi Megan,

    Okay! You will have to make occasional appearance on “The Presidential Nanny Blog”, though. We could hang out on my days off and go to Ulta together, ha!

  25. Hi Karen!

    I know – scarves are too much fun. I really like the ones from GAP and I’m going to check out some at Target this week!

    My hubby’s getting deployed again in a few weeks. It’s Germany this time, which is way better than another trip to Iraq. But, I always get super anxious before he deploys – just thinking of all the to-do’s before he leaves and worried how Grace will do without Daddy at home. I’m very blessed to have a great support system of family and friends nearby who take great care of me! All in all, I just want to enjoy this time as a family and not get caught up in my endless list of to-do’s!!! 🙂

    Eyeshadow: The light peach color from the Stila Vanity Fair eye shadow palette on the lid, the taupe color from the L’Oreal 203 Natural Eyes duo in the crease and Clarins 27 Blazing Brown in the outer v. Yeah, I was suprisingly advanced today! 🙂

    Current obsessions: Overnight oatmeal, yoga, HDR photography (just found out what it is and am excited to try it!)

    Last dream I can remember: I had a dream last night actually, and it was about my husband selling our apartment and buying a new one without me knowing. I was a bit excited about the new apartment at first, but then I went to see it… It had this superold kitchen (we spent months redoing the kitchen in our current apartment ourseves when we moved in, and it turned out really well!), only one bedroom, and a strange multilevel livingroom that was shared with the apartment next door by a curtain… The funny thing is that when I dream about being annoyed with my husband, I sort of still am when I wake up. I’ll tell him that I’m mad about what he did in my dream, and he’ll laugh at me. 🙂

    Weekly goals: Work out three times, eat healthy, get enough sleep.

  29. Hi Tuprnut,

    Whew — Germany is a big relief, I bet. I hope that you guys get to spend lots of good family time before he leaves. Just remember that he’ll be back sooner than you think! Thank goodness for all of the new electronic doo-dads we have at our disposal to keep in touch with our friends and loved ones who are stationed overseas. When my best guy friend from high school went to boot camp years about a billion years ago the only thing we had to stay in touch were old school handwritten letters.

    Oh, yah, Gap makes some really cute scarves… they always seem to have good sales, too. I’m all about the discount, ha!

  32. Hi Music_Is_Freedom,

    Yah, it was fun! I totally had a thing for Harry back in the day. 🙂

  34. How funny, I lust after a Vera teapot too! Glad to know it’s not just me. This would be the ultimate in my collection:

    It matches my wedding china, but I can’t justify buying it when I could have sooo much make up for the same price 🙂

    Okay, so you’ll totally laugh, but John Mayer smiled at me while he was playing at the Fillmore in SF a few years ago. My homegirl and I pushed our way to the front and while he was rocking out on his guitar he stared down and gave me a huge smile. At first I thought I imagined it, but my friend totally saw it too, LOL. Soooo lame, I know, but it totally made me happy for weeks.

    It’s my indulgence and the most awesome pie, IMO!
    Haha http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banoffee_pie

    My take on it is a little bit more rustic. Bottom layer is crushes digestive biscuits rubbed in with butter. Second layer is homemade gooey toffee. Third layer is freshly sliced bananas. Last but not least, a good amount of cream on top sprinkled with some chocolate powder/shavings. For those who wants a little bit more kick, sprikle powdered coffee as well. 😀
