Cool Cool Pittsburgh

How sad is it that I am looking forward to 3 days in Pittsburgh, PA?

It is sad because I am going for Oncology Nursing Society Leadership Weekend and the best part I can think of so far is the cool weather.

Highs of 80-85 and lows in the 50s. It will be like a Texas winter.

I will most likely want to wear a jacket at night as I am so used to the lows of 80 degree nights and highs in the 90 with "feels like' temps in the triple digits. And the humidity from the 90% morning to less than 20% in the north.

I feel absolutely giddy with anticipation for the weather. Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled about the weekend events also but the weather is the real coup.

Disappointed

You let me down - nobody replied to the movie quote - Nanny McPhee Returns. Emma Thompson is fantastic and such a wondeful actress to watch.

It was a fun movie and reminds me of the Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle books we got as kids.

I love the story about the girl who would not take a bath and had her parents in turmoil until Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle gave them seeds to plant on her dirty body. A couple of days later she sprouted tiny plants all over her body and then eventually bathed much to her parents delight.

I also like the story about the kids who argue and the parents argue to show the kids how horrible they sound. How about the story of the kid who has so many toys he can't get out of his room and woke up with a brick pattern imprinted to his cheek. His mom feeds him by putting toast on a rake and raising it up to his window with a hose for water.

What is your favorite Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle story??

Siesta

I vote that we initiate siestas to happen every day from here on forward.

The two teens and I went to visit PawPaw and after eating at Hunan Plus (greatest little asian restaurant - and best deal in Houston) we are all ready for a siesta.

Instead we let Amy drive us home and now we will start laundry and finish the grocery list. Maybe still get a nap in since it is after 3 pm and I always fall asleep in the afternoon.

Movie quote "Phil! I have to read it first don't I?"
Absolutely loved both versions.
