Steel Cut Oatmeal

Okay, why is my blog called this today ? Well for one it is freezing outside.  I am almost quite sure that if it was to begin to rain...it would snow.  So, I am thinking no protein shake for breakfast, so  T is making me some Steel Cut Oatmeal a la Trader Joe's. Besides, I have to save all the other cool blog names for times in the future. Like " Lunch with Gavin Newsom" or " Meeting with Hillary Clinton" or even " Days at Disneyland". See those are the topics I dream about blogging about. How about " Old mother of twins meets Queen of England and is offered her job". Nah....that would be a headline in the New York Times :)  So, yesterday....I drove out to Riverbank, CA. It's way way WAY out in the central valley. My trip was only an hour +. I returned a overhead projector to my friend J. Love J sooo many reasons I love J.
#1 J is LDS and she is liberal...she is quite openminded
#2  I totally get J and J gets me
#3 I admire J's artistic talent and her decor !
#4 I have always admired her hair and her clothes
#5 When I grow up....I am going to be just like her...but then again...I am not quite sure that she has grown up either.
#6 I am crazy about her kids. I would hope to have kids as fun as her children...and her grand kids are adorable too.
Anyway, we took my kiddos to Old McDonalds. Gavin and I have the same feelings about a lot of things on many levels.  The whole McDonalds industry is evil. J wanted to go...so we went. I would do just about anything for her. Later we went back to her house and chatted, I cried and we shared IPhone apps...because that is what friends are supposed to do ?


Today taking the kiddos to the movies. My Sperry Topsider were too small..and I can not find another pair online.  So, I am returning them and taking my girls out. It's something to do....When Tom is out of town for weeks at a time I have to figure out these rainy days of entertaining them.  My next blog will be about Thanksgiving and what the HECK I am going to do with all these birthday parties/Christmas. Never marry a man who shares the same birthday as the Messiah...it will mess ya all up !!!
