One year ago today I broke my elbow.
We're having cake later.
I went out last night with some great people from camp.
We went for Mexican.
Had a GREAT time, laughed a lot.
However....
when we the party broke up and I was
walking to my car I noticed that it was....
STILL LIGHT OUT!
Yeah, my big night ended at 8:30!
Yet another sign that I am old.
I broke a record today.
I got myself showered, hair dried,
dressed and did the make-up in
30 MINUTES!
I've NEVER done that before.
What inspired me?
Well, at 1:15 I remembered that Dylan's
best friend's birthday party was today.....
at 2:30....and Dylan wasn't even here.
He was at my parent's house.
He never would have forgiven me if I let
him miss the party.
So I really hustled and he got there at 2:25!
Sometimes I really amaze myself.
Actually, I amaze myself quite often.
Not always in a good way.

An Open Letter to Chris Isaak
Dear Chris Isaak,
The next time you get the call to sing
our National Anthem for the
All Star Game.....
LEARN THE WORDS.
You suck.
.......and you should be ashamed of yourself.
Love,
Kerry

The Preppy is coming out...
I wasn't born a prep.
I became one in high school
I attended an all girls Catholic high school where
our school colors were pink and green.
No, not really, but you'd think so by looking at us.
However, you NEVER wore pink and green on Thursdays
because if you did it meant you were gay.
Whatever.
This was our bible:
We didn't know the book was a JOKE.
We thought it was law and all abided by it.
I bought one on ebay when I started working at our new school.
Seems like these families don't know it's a joke either.
Well, somehow I stumbled upon a bunch of PREPPY BLOGS
and you know what.....those pink and green feelings started up again.
I want these:
($38 for flip flops, stop me please)
and one of these:
Yes my inner preppy is struggling to get out.
I also want anything pink.
I suppose this started when I purchased a summer wardrobe for Dylan from Abercrombie.
Yeah, a whole wardrobe.
It's preppy stuff. Messy preppy, but still preppy.
Those clothes stirred up those old feelings.
I'm so not preppy anymore.
I'm into brown and orange.
I do however own about 6 pairs of khaki pants.
Hmmmm.
WAIT!
PREPS DO NOT HAVE CURLY HAIR.
I know that for a fact as my brother was married on Nantucket
and I was the only woman on the island with curls.
Actually, I think I was the only woman on the island
who didn't have straight blonde hair.
Ok, off to work.
We'll see if I still have these feelings when I get home.

Men and their Problems
Why is it that every little change,
every little blip in life,
every little THING is a
PROBLEM to a man??
Have you ever noticed that?
"Kerry, we have a problem. I'm supposed to go
to the city tomorrow but Dylan has to go to
a friend's house and you were going to go shopping.
What are we going to do?"
...this is a problem?
I asked the camp director if I could have a
few minutes with him to discuss the play.
His answer..."Ok, what's the problem?"
THERE IS NO PROBLEM.
Can't we just discuss?
Maybe it's because they are problem solvers.
Or maybe they can't handle change?
Or maybe it's just the guys in my life, and if
that's the case, I have a problem.

I ROCK!
Hey!
My blog ROCKS!
I actually won an award for poking fun at my life and yelling
at all the stupid people I run into.
I KNEW it would pay off!
This prestigious award was bestowed upon
me by Lara at Overstuffed
Love her! Thank you Miss Lara.
I must now pass the award on to 5 Rockin' Women.
My first pick isMilissa at Howe's Life
Milissa makes beautiful cards, I love to see
what she comes up with.Her monthly kits are THE BEST, esp.
if you want to get pubbed. She has a knack for picking
out stuff that just goes together so well.
tip: if you want a kit, you have to act FAST - they sell out right away.
She also takes great pics and has two beautiful daughters.
Roxann has a fun blog.
She always makes me smile!
Kimber rocks the house.
She is such a talented crafter, I love looking at her work.
Christina is so freakin' funny. She just needs to stop
going on vacation because I need more blog entries from her. I go into withdrawal.
Everyone should check out Flip-FLop Mom.
I do believe she is the kindest soul on the whole darn internet, therefore - she rocks!

Bon Jour!
Yesterday I had lunch at Madame Croissant's house.
Dylan named her that after his first day of French this year.
"Honey, what's your french teacher's name?"
"Um...I don't know....Mdme. Croissant?"
So she's the French teacher at school and she's a real Frenchy!!
All the way from France!
She invited a couple of us over to her little french oasis.
Her house is so cool but the yard is the best part.
She has chickens, peacocks, a pond, a huge garden along
with herbs and flowers in pots EVERYWHERE.
An enormous tree fell across her yard and is leaning on another
tree. Instead of cutting it, they hung a bench swing from it and
put sheer curtains around it - beautiful.
They have a garden rock wall which they made, along with
a playground size sandbox for 3 year old Frenchy - who by the
way was running around naked the whole afternoon, painting,
playing, swimming in the old cement bin which was turned
into a kiddie pool! Baby Frenchy speaks 3 languages, English, French and Spanish.
I barely speak American.
Lunch was a gorgeous salad.
Greens, cukes, tomato,
hard boiled eggs FROM THE CHICKENS,(Paul was like "YOU DIDN'T EAT THOSE, DID YOU??????)
grilled chicken (we were assured it was NOT one of THEIR chickens, but who knows.)
shredded carrots in the middle. So simple but
so beautiful. AND OF COURSE a baguette and brie.
If it hadn't been 4,000,000 degrees with 978%. humidity, I would have enjoyed it a bit more,
but she had fans going in the yard and we just sat back,
perspired and enjoyed.
Well, tonight guess what we're having for dinner..........
Frenchy's Salad!!!!
Organic greens (sorry Dylan)
Organic tomatoes
Organic asparagus
Organic cukes
carrots in a bag because I don't care THAT much
raspberries
cold rotisserie chicken
a BAGUETTE AND BRIE. Just love that!
I'm so excited........over a salad.
Someone slap me.

Africa hot.
It is so freakin' hot here, it's like Africa hot.
NY is not supposed to be this hot.
I'm moving.
I want to live where it's 72 degrees and sunny all the time.
Where is that?

Relief!
I am a pill popper, have been all my life.
No, not like a Valley of The Dolls character.
Headache pills.
Ever since high school I've carried around a little bottle of
various headache meds., aspirin, advil, motrin, sinus pills etc.
My friends joked that I was a walking pharmacy.
But it was no joke.
I always had headaches and I've had 4 major migraine's.
Paul has been asking me to please see a doctor but I never went
because, hey, I'd always been like this.
Dylan also gets headaches. I never really though much of it but
two weeks ago, I think he had a migraine.
He was in the shower crying and when I went to check
on him he asked me to turn the light out. Tell tale sign.
I gave him some Motrin and put him to bed.
He has an appointment with his Ped. tomorrow.
This also prompted me to see a Neurologist.
Guess what....all those headaches I get.....
they're migraines.
I guess it's not normal to have 3-5 headaches a week.
How was I supposed to know??? This has been my life.
Well, Dr. Wonderful prescribed something for me to take
as soon as I feel a headache coming on and you know what....
IT WORKS!!!!!!!
I AM SO HAPPY!!!!!!
I can't believe I don't have to have headaches all the time, even dull ones.
I'm going for an MRI on my brain this week.
Dr. Wonderful doesn't think there's anything there but just wants a pic.
Well, I hope there's SOMETHING in there.
If not, it will explain a whole lot.........
