OT - Random Thoughts

I've Bolded Key Elements so you can skip what BORES you!

Pop culture - saw Wordplay and Casino Royale while Bruce was away this weekend. Recommend them both.

Note - Bruce was AWAY THIS WEEKEND!!!!

I am not meant to be a single parent. In fact, I am quite sure that my little lovelies pray hard for their father's health every night for fear they would be left with only their mother.

Everything worth watching on network television is on hiatus. Hello, HBO and the Sopranos! You are coming back in the nick of time.

Owning your own business. Pearls definitely takes a back seat when consulting kicks in. No one should fear I will ever be the cover story on Entreprenuer magazine. However, knowing how many small businesses fail, I firmly believe self-discipline has to be the most critical element between success and failure rates of people owning their own business. The second most critical element has to be flexibility.

Speaking of the small business and consulting -- Doing your taxes when you are dealing with both is somewhere on par with getting your wisdom teeth pulled. Having turned it into a game with a spreadsheet, I cannot imagine how boring life would be without my Excel. Is there anything I can't quantify in those little boxes??? Ah, who remembers the naming process for Genevieve? You don't think we did that without several spreadsheets do you?

Frank Rich compared Alberto Gonzales to Fredo Corleone in today's New York Times! Politics aside - How hilarious is that??

Cherry blossoms are on their way! The precursor blossoms at the Pentagon were out late last week, any day now we'll be taking the girls down to the Tidal Basin for our annual pilgrimage.

Last Thursday, Juliette made her bed, made Evie's bed with Evie, made my bed. And when we got to the play area at Chik-fil-A, she told the big kids who were playing rough to be kind to Evie, because she was just a little kid.

Evie has mastered pedaling - thus she will soon be getting a bike of her own.

Bruce came back this afternoon. Hurray! I can honestly say I can't recall the last time I was so happy to see him!
