I’m a little late to the game…

Okay so my friend Alexia “memed” me via her blog… which I think I’ve figured out means that I have to answer all these lists/memes on my blog. So here it goes… sorry for the delay Alexia it’s been busy around here! 😉

5 ALBUMS ON MY IPOD….(which has been dead since I moved 4 months ago because I can’t find the power cord)
1. James Taylor – One Man Dog
2.They Might Be Giants – No!
3. Sara Groves – Station Wagon
4. Chicks on Speed – Chix-52
5. Ron Sexsmith – whereabouts

5 MOVIES I’VE SEEN RECENTLY
1. The Island (brain candy)
2. A Long Engagement (pretty good)
3. Kinsey (informative…ha)
4. Word Wars (funny..interesting)
5. The Chorus (great. A must see)

5 NICE THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED TO ME RECENTLY
1. Spent the weekend with my pal Kristen in Austin preparing for baby Rosa’s arrival.
2. Bought two new portfolio cases (still have the tags on ’em) that are exactly like my existing case ($150 each)…
bought both of them for $20!
3. Found daycare for Francis on Fridays. Hopefully more in the future.
4. Found a new dentist that I like.
5. My sister Sherrie and my niece Katie came to visit.

5 SONGS IN HEAVY ROTATION
1. I Can’t Wait – Sara Groves
2. Hello Old Friend – Kim Richey
3. Sugar Daddy – Jackson 5
4. All of the great songs on the “Baby Songs” DVD
5. Starfish – Sara Groves

5 IDIOSYNCRASIES OF MINE
1. I am an obsessive coffee table cleaner. It drives me bonkers to have it muckied up. Must straighten it before I can sleep well.
2. I hoard, I mean hoard collage bits… bits of paper, old buttons, pez dispensers, old photos… you name it.
3. I’m terrified of going to the dentist. I’ve been prescribed pills to take before I come to relax me! ha!
4. I’m an introvert. I get anxious in a crowded room. Don’t think that’s really an idiosyncrasy, but it is something quirky most people don’t know or assume about me.
5. I organize my closet by colors.

Alrighty, there you have it.

Now I would like to officially ‘meme’ my friends, Amber,Kristen, Amy, Jennie and the Donoghue Nation.

Alright guys…let’s see it. 😉

Moneymaker!

We all knew Francis was industrious. (I mean, you’ve seen her stack rings, right?) What we didn’t know is that she can sniff out cash.

On the plane home this evening, Francis was missing naptime and was generally cranky. Trying to soothe her (and to give her seatmates a break) Sally walked her down the aisle. Somewhere along the way, Francis came up with a ten-dollar bill. I don’t know if she picked someone’s pocket or bag or if she found it on the floor. Maybe she bargained for it (“I’d cut the screaming if somebody showed me a little green.”) Who knows.

One thing is for sure. Francis is a moneymaker. She even found a quarter on the way back to the seat.

This is Francis enjoying a celebratory dinner upon her return to Chicago. She’s wearing her new dinosaur shirt over her pajamas.

Francis and I went to the last week with Amy and Ben Bassett. I was a little tentative about going because she historically is a little timid about the water, but man o’ man… Francis changed her mind. She had a blast. She was non stop… splashing, kicking, walking… She couldn’t get enough.
