I'm Moving!
Thank you, thank you, thank you to
Janet &
Kathryn for helping me create my pretty new blog. You can now visit me
here or soon directly through
everthingnicole.com (hint, hint dad). I know you have to change your bookmark or blogroll, but I'll try to make it worth it! xoxo
We'll Be Living Here Soon

Wake Up Slow
GracieGirl and I have a ritual where we make pancakes every weekend. We've made pumpkin pancakes, banana pancakes, blueberry pancakes, cornmeal pancakes & strawberry pancakes. But this weekend we're out of pancake mix (and I haven't had enough coffee), so we made banana french toast - yummy! Next week: chocolate chip pancakes. xoxo
The Fortune Cookie Says, "Do not take things that don't belong to you."
Go ahead. You can call me shifty, or conniving. But after waiting til my hair turned grey in the drive-through at Panda Express, I
could not tell the lady that she gave me way more food than I'd paid for. I had only ordered a one item combo (no drink), but was handed a large bag of glorious Chinese food which included two 2-item combos, a side of teriyaki chicken & an extra large root beer.
On the drive home, I was thinking about Karma & what my pay back would be. I had planned on sharing the one-item combo with Gracie, to control my portions. Karma's payback: Sneak in a few thousand extra calories, in exchange for all the ill-gotten free food.
GracieGirl and I ate like queens for lunch today, and will probably do so again in a half hour. xoxo
ps - In case you're wondering, I did have to go to my kitchen to figure out how to spell teriyaki.
Where's The Wiggles?
I haven't been writing lately, 'cause I haven't had anything exciting to say. Gracie's growing like a weed, we're picking out cabinets & flooring for the house, going to Havasu April 1. But nothing terribly exciting. Until
this.
That's right. The Wiggles are coming to LA. I was totally excited & wanted to take GracieGirl (I know she'd love it), but then I saw the price tag: about $50. PER PERSON! If anyone has an in with The Wiggles, I wanna go! xoxo
Girls' Nite
My 13 year-old cousin spent the night last night, to keep me & GracieGirl company while Randy was at work for three days. We had such a nice time, but we didn't do any of the fun stuff she usually does at sleep-overs (bra-freezing, truth or dare, etc.). She made me realize, nicely, that I am getting old[er] and
so uncool in the world of a teenager. It is nice not to be at that awkward age anymore, but a little sad at the same time. How neat to have so many possibilities ahead of you.
I have such great memories of Marissa's dad, my Uncle Jim when I was growing up. It is so nice to see what a fantastic daughter he has. xoxo
PB & Banana
Since we are into crazy sandwiches lately, GracieGirl & I had an
Elvis with bacon yesterday for lunch. Yummy! xoxo
Staying Up Way Too Late. . .
. . .Downloading songs from iTunes. Especially
Bow Wow - Fresh Azimiz. You try saying "azimiz" three times in a row. xoxo
Simon Says Give Your Daddy a Kiss
Just finished playing a competitive game of "Simon Says" with Randy & GracieGirl. Turns out Randy can do a ballerina twirl with the best of them. xoxo
Mmmmm
GracieGirl & I had
fluffernutter sandwiches for lunch today. Life is good. xoxo
The Queen and I
Did you know that we are royalty? This little known fact would have never been discovered without GracieGirl's help. She has revealed her true princessness by only talking in the third person: "Gracie's toy!" "Gracie do it." "Gracie no like naps!" xoxo
Did You Notice?
That there is a new button in the column on your right? This is a list of books I would like to get rid of. I've read them. Some were great books. Some not so great. Good or not, I hate to see literature go to waste. In the spirit of
Bookcrossing.com, if you see a book that interests you, leave a comment or drop me a line (nicoleglancy at yahoo dot com) & I'll send you the book.
Be forewarned: my books are well-used. I like to fold them up a lot while I read, but they're still clean. Except for the occasional booger. That's a joke. Really. xoxo
[EDIT] I just started looking through my books. This is harder than I thought it'd be! Please don't judge me by this list, these are the books I'm willing to part with. xoxo
