Can't Live Without....

Ok so I have become addicted to things.... Never was an addict before... But I confess....

- Edamame .... Must have my daily allowance....

- Fage Greek Yogurt... Must have 1 or 2 a day... Have been known to run out to the supermarket late at night if I don't see
some in the fridge.... I have never run to the supermarket for anything before... Ask my family....

- Earphone attached to my Orange "Lifetime TV Exclusive" IPOD... So my fabulous teenage boys have hooked me up with all
the latest and greatest in Hip Hop, R and B, Rock etc... to the tune of several thousand songs.... WOW it was so nice today
walking through Fort Lauderdale Airport and then onto the plane with the volume turned "all the way" up....
Geez I couldn't even hear the gate attendant telling me that I wasn't really supposed to be boarding yet...
La la la I really couldn't hear her..... Then I didn't have to hear anyone on the plane or in the airport.... Sheer Bliss...

- Free City tees.... ok you all already know this....

More to come....

Have fun! I always do!

Teach your children correct behavior....

It never ceases to amaze me each time I witness young children carrying on in restaurants... their parents totally oblivious to the yelling... ranting... and complete misbehaving. Tonight I was out to dinner and there was a table with 7 young children and 2 sets of parents. At one point I heard one mother say I don't care if they scream. Maybe she didn't care but I certainly did. Is there no regard for shared space? Do parents think their kids will ever learn proper behavior if they completely ignore the misbehavior and never correct them. Time and time again I see kids running around restaurants... Parents in their own worlds... Talking to their friends.. Ignoring the kids... Letting them carry on.. Disturbing others.... Its the parent's fault...

Children need to be taught... They need to understand what is acceptable behavior in each and every situation. If a parent doesn't take the time to teach their children then we all suffer. I think many parents find it easier to ignore... Sad but true!!!

Have fun! I always do!

In Love with FAGE

I've been buying Fage Greek Style Yogurt for a few weeks now. Its been sitting in the fridge and I keep saying I have to finally try it. Being not much of a yogurt fan I kept resisting. Well I just tried it and wow I am a new fan!!! It is delicious especially if
you like very thick creamy yogurt. I did add half a packet of splenda and some sliced almonds. I was very pleasantly suprised.
If you like tart yogurt you will love this....

Enjoy!!

Have fun! I always do!

Little Kids Make Me Laugh!!!

I was talking to my friend Liz last night... We go way back to my first job after college at Allied Stores Corp. Liz is like a sister and so in that her two gorgeous delightful kids are my niece and nephew. Kids never cease to amaze me in how they think and the words that come out of their mouths. Their thought processes even at the youngest ages are sometimes unbelievable..... So here's the story.... Liz told her six year old son that she didn't want him to watch Sponge Bob Square Pants during the week after school anymore. He could watch it on the weekend only. Shortly after telling him this Liz noticed her TV had the DVR (like TIVO) on and it was recording something. She asked her husband if he was recording a show and he said no. She goes to the DVR guide and sees the shows being recorded are Sponge bob Square Pants for the entire week at both the 2:30 and 7:00. Liz is shocked.... Then she approaches her "little guy" and asks him if he was recording Sponge Bob Square pants. He says yes and says Mom you told me I could watch it only on the weekend so I was planning to watch all the shows on the weekend. When Liz told me the story I cracked up. First I thought wow how slick. Then I saw his point and laughed even more when I knew this came from a 6 year old. He was just acting like anyone else who would record there favorite shows and watch them when they were able. In his case over the weekend. Then to make matters even funnier he remembered that he heard his dad say the weekend starts on Friday afternoon. He then asked his aunt who agreed. So he decided he could start watching his show on Friday after school. His mom, my friend Liz decided he shouldn't be watching it all so she told him she needed to think about it and for now he wouldn't be able to watch the show at all. He was a real trooper and is watching patiently for her to give him an answer. She suggested buying some Sponge Bob books and games. When they went to book store to buy the books he looked through them and said Mommy the words in the book are worse than the show so can I watch the show??? Of course she was speechless and is still debating...

Have fun! I always do!

Chabad's Children of Chernobyl Fantasy Auction and Dinner

I am honored to be a Dinner Chair for Children of Chernobyl "Children at Heart" Fantasy Auction and Dinner being held on November 19th at Pier Sixty. The beneficiaries of this wonderful evening are the very lucky children who are rescued from the Chernobyl affected areas in the Ukraine and Belarus. This problem exists today and is even more pervasive for the people living there with the contamination. Please visit the ccoc.net for more information. The evening which last year raised almost 2 million dollars and enabled many many children to be brought to Israel to live in the warm surroundings of Kfar Chabad. I had the pleasure of visiting with many of these kids last year when I visited Israel in January. These wonderful children are given the opportunity for a new life outside of all the contamination. I was met by their warm smiling faces a true testament to the wonderful care they are getting. I encourage you to checkout www.cah.net to see the fabulous items up for auction...

Have fun! I always do!
