I'll tell you all a story...

(sing this to the Beverly Hillbillies song.  If you don't know it, here's the link:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD22a4APsCg)


about a girl named Mo
a cute little girl
who got into the front row.

When one day
she wore a tutu on her head.
She looked so awesome,
that she knocked the people dead.

"Hey, little girl, you look like a fan....
How'd you like to go out on the floor?"

Well the first thing you know,
Ole' Mo is jumping for glee
as we make it down front
to watch the Vict'ry ceremony

Then Miss Kay, said, "On the TV is where you outta be."
So we pushed her up front and we waited anxiously...

Smile, we said.
Act crazy.
Jump around.

Well, the next thing you know
Ole Mo is on the screen
Smiling away for all the world to see...



And now my song ends 'cause I can't rhyme no mooooore,
So I won't.

What was she wearing that caused all this ruckus?  Well, it was her sister's white tutu, a headband that had maple leaves sticking out, a red shirt, white scarf, and of course, THE red mittens.  She got so much attention that complete strangers would come up and stand beside her and get their picture taken.  One guy literally threw his camera into my  hands so he could be in the picture!  It was hilarious and quite the experience for a normally shy girl.  After a few instances of this, she just learned to lean in, smile and say "you're welcome!".  What a trooper!


Our seats for the Victory Ceremony (the final one of the Olympics) were way up in the nosebleed section and as we were slowly plodding our way up there, I got a call from Miss Kay who was elsewhere in the stadium and wondering where we were.  As we were talking on the phone, while standing in the aisle, I took out my little flashlight and flashed it in her direction so that she could spot me.  Sure enough she did.

But so did the Olympic volunteer (whom we lovingly call 'The Smurf') and suddenly she was waving us down from the aisle.  I thought we were in trouble for flashing the flashlight and I was prepared to apologize and vow never to do it again when suddenly she flashed this big smile at us and says, "You guys look like you're huge fans, how would you like to get upgraded onto the floor?" 

Well, DUH!

We took that ticket and started running!  We were so excited!! 

Wanna hear the most amazing thing?  Miss Kay and her hubby got upgraded too!!!  We were all down there, rocking out to Great Big Sea, together! 

Amazing!!

Afterwards we met up with Hubby and my nephew, Mr. Tee, who were at the Canada vs. Slovakia game (lucky bums!!)  and we all headed down to Robson square to watch the Fire and Ice show!

What an amazing night!

Epic!!


(Mo has just heard one of her best friends call her name here...that's why she's not looking at the camera!)

What an amazing experience!!

The earth stood still today. No, it wasn't because the planets were aligned. No, it wasn't because yesterday's date was 10/10/10 (which happens only once every 1000 years) No, it wasn't because the month of October has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays, in it which, according to Facebook (and we know how reliable that is),only happens once every 823 years. No, it was more phenomenal then all of that. It was because I ironed. Sheets. Yes, I actually ironed sheets. Now, you need to understand that I only pick up my iron to move it from one location to another. Typically if something needs ironing one of three things happens: 1. it stays wrinkled 2. it hangs in my closet until gravity pulls the wrinkles out over time 3. I go and buy a new item of clothing. I just don't iron! So why did I do it today, you may ask? It was my front load washer and dryer's fault. It made Kiki's new bedding so wrinkly that I just could not stand to let

Well if this doesn't completely rock your socks then I don't know what will: Taylor Lautner AND Tom Cruise staring in a movie.. together l  And it's about airplanes!   It's TOP GUN all over again people!  I'm just too excited for words. Now, yes, I admit, Tom did crash and burn in my books after the couch incident on Oprah; and after marrying Katie whats-her-name, but all in all, I still like him.  As long as he doesn't open his mouth except to speak his lines in a movie. And Taylor Lautner.  I know, right?  What a beauty!  I don't have a crush or anything on him (puhlease, I could be his MOTHER!) but my eyes do appreciate the view when he's on the screen.  Yes, my eyes, and ONLY my eyes.  Now, as far as crushes go, you need to talk to my daughter.   Taylor adorns practically every inch of her bedroom walls. So, depending on the rating of this movie, I think daughter and mother will go together and both of us will drool.... Age appropriately, o

Scents and Scents-ability

Before I became a Mommy I was a working girl. And when I was a working girl, I was a GOOD smelling working girl. I had my favorites--Tresor, Poison, Giorgio, Ysatis, Tuscany per Donna, Eternity by Calvin Klein, Perry Ellis and Alfred Sung. I had so many perfumes--and I loved them all! Then I became a Mommy and I did away with all my perfumed-ness. Why? I guess I didn't want my baby to have to breathe all that while s/he was trying to nurse. Perfumed flavored milk? Yucky! And...I never went out so why did I need to smell pretty? Wasn't smelling like breast milk, puke and baby poop enough of a sensory overload? Now I'm two things: Mommy and Working Girl. But I'm not a breastfeeding Mommy so you know what that means... BRING ON THE PERFUME!! The other day I went to the store and I was bowled over by the choices! Givenchy has a million scents now, JLo has like three kinds, and then there's that Ed Hardy guy with the fabulous name-- Christian Audidgi
