{September 19, 2015}   Black light yoga! Score!

Tonight we did something kinda cool.

I think I’ve told you that PSM likes yoga, let me rephrase…he lllooovvvveeessss yoga. So it took all of about 10 seconds after I saw the posting to sign us both up for this event.

The event was called Soul Pose Yoga, http://soulpose.com/, an outdoor yoga event, starting at 7pm, black light to be exact. How cool does that sound?!

We got there about 6:30, signed in and got our yoga mats, towels and special Soul Pose bracelet and charm. We did get some souvenirs of course,  I couldn’t let this go by!  I got us some belts for stretching, a bag for my new yoga mat and a water bottle for PSM.

After we signed in,  we painted each other’s faces with glow in the dark paint.  I wish I could show you,  we’ll,  I’d show you him…he gave me a bright red moustsche…hmmm…

Then we walked down to the field past the mansion that was lit up for the event. I thought the night session would be more fun than the morning session,  I was right.

We looked for new mats,  any mats that were still rolled up,  part of the package we got. We got settled in and looked out in the sea of people.  The only requirement was to wear a white top,  very cool to see, especially after the sun went down.

There was a vibe in the air as we started,  the instructor was certified in something like 14 different forms of yoga,  impressive.  She wore a mess ‘o day-glo stuff on her head,  fingers.

It was a nice session with music,  nothing too difficult, I say that as someone who does not do a lot of yoga.  PSM enjoyed it,  definitely got a good workout. She also had a good sense of humor,  keeping us all entertained and moving. 

It was great to do all this as the sun was going down and then it was night time and we were all aglow.

Ok, now…the best part?  PSM didn’t know a thing until we got near the sign in tent and we heard a call to all yogis! Then he was all excited and like a kid!

The calendar invite said only “something you’ll like”. Was I right? You betcha!

Ohm…

{September 18, 2015}   A double date…The Book of Mormon

Tonight was so much fun!

After work PSM and I headed downtown to meet GES and ACS at Rock Bottom Brewery for dinner before going to the theater. They had gotten there first so had settled into some wings while they waited for us. We got there and placed some orders, my sister knows me so well, they waited to order guacamole, I do love it so! Oh man, there was so much garlic, yum! Those chips were sal-ty! A good combo!

It was great to sit together and enjoy each other’s company, we actually haven’t done that before, had dinner, just the four of us out on the town, very nice. It really was enjoyable to sit and talk, laugh, joke, find out more about each other and just relax, that was the best part, relaxing with my best friends.

After a really good dinner, let me tell you, their veggie burger was great! I had forgotten how much I liked it! Everyone enjoyed their food, bonus! We all headed to the theater in time to climb to the balcony, find our seats and settle in to enjoy the show. Luckily the two people who don’t like heights were fine! This is the second time I’ve seen the show and it was just as good as the time I saw it with dad on Broadway, but everyone else was seeing it for the first time and I can tell you they all enjoyed it, it was a great performance and a lot of surprises, things you might not expect, which may have made it even better.

The show pokes fun at religion, tied up in a Mormon blanket. It is clever and funny and if you are open minded, I think you’d really like the show.

So kids…what’s next?

{September 14, 2015}   L’Shana Tova

A happy, healthy and sweet new year I wish for you.

As we talked about yesterday, last night, Erev Rosh Hashanah, marked the beginning of the Jewish New Year. I know we’ve talked about it before, but I thought we would chat about a few things tonight.

The symbols you see are all representative of Rosh Hashanah.

As you can tell and might know, the dove is the symbol for peace and love, apples dipped in honey is something we eat to help us have a sweet new year.

The shofar is a rams horn that is blown at different times in the service, symbolizing joyous new beginnings, this is a powerful expression and brings so many emotions to heart. It is not an easy thing to do, many try and it’s wonderful to hear new people try, especially kids, but when someone experienced blows the shofar, I have to tell you, there is nothing like it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5FcH5hKGqs

This is a time of reflection, understanding, welcoming and asking for your name to be written in the book of life. “On Rosh Hashanah it is written, on Yom Kippur it is sealed”.

I wish you happiness, health and a sweet new year.

{September 12, 2015}   It’s opening day!

Today was opening day for soccer and softball. How cute are they?

I wasn’t there, but EJS started her day with soccer. Then it was MGS’ turn, so cute! I remember when EJS first started playing soccer, soooo cute,  like hearding cats!

These girls were great and adorable,  of course! MGS also had a great cheering section of course. I think she had fun,  just needs a little practice and confidence.

A few hours later,  it was time for EJS’ first game of the season. She was great!  I haven’t been to one of her games yet,  so this was a real treat!

I saw her get to bat twice and do something new…catcher! Check out her form, pretty impressive,  don’t you think?

And what a cheering section! Me,  My dad, MGS, GES, ACS and M&C O and their dog Bella, PSM and his dog Mollie. Pretty impressive,  wouldn’t you agree?

Today was just the beginning and I’m looking forward to many more opportunities!

{September 11, 2015}   It’s a girl!

First…NO! I am not pregnant!

Now that we got that out of the way…JJ is going to be a grandmother…for the FIFTH time! And it’s a girl…surprise!

So much is happening! Baby A it’s going to be a big brother! KAB is going to be a mommy for the second time, CS and Pow Pow are going to have a new niece! LB, Baby L and Baby W are going to have a new cousin! How exciting!

Poor Baby A, he’s going to be outnumbered!

Another Halloween costume for me to get, another baby to spoil at holidays and birthdays, think I’m loving that?  You bet your sweet bippy!

Do you love the photo? That was the gender announcement,  I know you figured that out for yourself,  so clever! We found out she was pregnant by a great photo, Baby A wearing a ‘Big brother’ t-shirt, so cute.

For me,  one of the most wonderful and touching things about this announcement,  I was one of the lucky ones KAB tagged in the photo.  It made me feel so special to be included and I will always be grateful for that.

I got to be there the day Baby A was born,  who knows,  maybe I’ll get to meet his sister on her birthday!

I’m so thrilled for KAB and the family, such exciting news. I can’t wait to hug them in person. Much Mazel, joy and happiness I wish them!

{September 7, 2015}   An amazing weekend

Well, we just got back from a long weekend on the Cape…I swear I hear Thurston Howell III saying that to Lovey!

It was an amazing weekend, I have the best beau ever, but it was so amazing that I am “plum tuckered out!” and as I have to meet with my personal trainer at 5:50am, I am going to sign off and say thank you PSM for another fabulous weekend! You did it up right and I am so lucky to have you in my life, thank you.

Tomorrow, I will tell you, in great detail, I know shocker! about our weekend on Cape Cod, FABULOUS!

I hope you all had a fabulous Labor Day weekends!



{September 5, 2015}   Not all drag shows are great

There, I said it, I’m sorry.

I love a good drag show. I love watching drag queens, the wasband said I was obsessed. I don’t think that’s true, I just find them fascinating and I enjoy watching a good drag show.

I love certain movies, Priscilla…Queen of the Desert, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109045/?ref_=nv_sr_2, To Wong Foo, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114682/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2, Connie and Carla, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0345074/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1, and who can forget Some Like It Hot, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053291/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1, just to name a few..that I’ve seen a few [dozen] times.

When I was getting married, my sister took me to Lucky Changs, http://www.luckychengsnewyork.com/, a fabulous Chinese restaurant in NYC that happens to have an entire drag staff/show, it was fabulous! I even got a lap dance from a very tall Asian “woman”!

So, you could said I like them, not sure about obsessed, but who’s counting!

Needless to say, I enjoy a good drag show. The show that PSM and I saw tonight was ok, not the best, just ok. The performers looked like the people they were portraying, it just fell a little flat from what I’ve seen before.

That being said, I really did enjoy the show and I’m looking forward to whatever he plans next!

{September 4, 2015}   We have a kindergartener!

Today, MGS rode the bus to school!

MGS is five and a big girl now and big girls go to big kid school! So…off she went.

Yesterday she went in yesterday at noon for part of the day, but today, she rode the bus for the first time. Now, she’s an old hat at riding the bus, having ridden the bus over the summer to camp, but this was the bus for school, a whole new ball game.

Ok, I have to tell you a secret, you have to promise not to tell! First, she asked me to help her put her sneakers on, loved that! Happy to help! Then she said “shh…I have a secret” ok, what? “You can’t tell…I’m a little nervous to ride the bus, I’m going to sit with EJS”. I think that sounds like a good plan MGS.

We went outside to take pictures, of course, and some of the neighbors joined us and ACS came back from his day at school to see her get on the bus, that was very cool.

There was a girl from the next block over, her parents, one of the boys from across the street, MGS and EJS, us and COF, another great gathering and send off!

We took pictures, EJS hamming it up for the camera, of course, the kids being goofy, then the bus came from a different direction, huh? The driver is on a new route, change of plans and sides of the street. All the kids piled on MGS’ backpack was almost bigger than her! SO CUTE!!!

Then they were gone and it was business as usual.

Have a great time in kindergarten, so many great things are coming your way!
