4.5.11 - Anticiparcellation

Here's the last three days, which will lead up to "Anticiparcellation"

4.3.11 - My dear friend A who has NOT been eating needed something tempting to remind her to eat so I made her a batch of pumpkin muffins and some chocolate chip cookies!  I hope she rounds it out with some veggie and protein but hey, at least it's some calories! xox

4.4.11 - I rounded up ALLLLLLL the spare change we had around the house and put it in a giant container.  We do this once a year and take it to Coin Star.  The kids get to pick which charity to give it to, which we will do later in the week.  When they were little we used to do Toys for Tots and things like that and they had so much fun picking out the presents with all the money but now that they are teenagers, they just aren't thaaaaaaat into it....they are happy to just fork over the dough.  Fine with me.  I'll post later once they decide where it's going.

4.5.11 - My darling father is a crazy, kooky kind of a guy and he loves to make up words that we end up adopting into our daily language.  One of our favorites is "Anticiparcellation"...sometimes we will get a call or an email with just that word and it means what it says -- expect a package.  Today I ordered a PhotoBook with various photos from Noah's bar mitzvah weekend just for my Dad.  It should be there within the week....so Dad, if you are reading this, I just ruined your surprise and I will leave you with one word...Anticiparcellation!

4.2.11 - Helpin' Out could make me Top Banana

Here's catching up on the last few days...

March 29-30 I was in bed with the flu so I'm giving myself a PASS on RAKs for those days.

March 31 - At school conferences our Forensic's coach mentioned they will be needing lots of help to get the kids ready for the next big competition.....so being a former Forensics nerd I volunteered to coach a class two days a week for the next month.  I loved being a judge at the last competition so this will be fun and also interesting.

April 1 - My little friend Sophia told me that for her 13th birthday her grandmother was taking her to San Francisco this week for her present!  OF COURSE I was so excited for her since SF is my "adopted" hometown and my favorite place to be.  So today I found an old SF map, circled all my favorite things to do and sent her a top 10 list of things to do/sights to see that I thought she would enjoy.  I also added a list of "insider tips" about the city that you wouldn't find in a guide book!  Hope she has an amazing time!

April 2 - With our failing economy and our state in a "state of disaster", it is harder and harder to get corporations and even individuals to sponsor charitable events.  I spent a few minutes today to send some requests out on behalf of the For a Day Foundation to underwrite the cost of 300 bananas for our runners for the Fun Run/5K April 23rd.  I will continue to pursue this during the week until I have found a donor! Yes, I do believe this will make me Top Banana. Sorry, that was bad.
