Today I was...

• happy about taking a probiotic. My skin has been whacked lately and it was suggested that the problem is more internal than ext. We'll see! #

Today I was...

• on the train back to Grand Central. #
• watching a woman curl her eyelashes on the subway. Just seems like something she should've done at home. #
• trying to forget about about the ginormous flying roach that terrorized the subway car I was on. Women and children were crying; I'm not kidding. #
• spooning with Beverly, watching Stevie Wonder perform at the DNC. Party. #
• awaiting Obamanomination. Yeah, baby. #
• still wiping my tears away after watching that video before Obama's speech. #
• thinking about thermoenergy. #

Another Amazing Celebrity Sighting By Mark

First, look at this amazing picture he took inside the Mayfair Market:




Now, see that man in the center?




Do you know who it is?

It's Grant Show, everybody! Yep, Jake Hanson from Melrose Place.



Excellent photography, Mark. Excellent!

Obamanomination

Yeah, baby.



I'm so excited! I can't wait for his speech.

I was recently talking to someone who isn't registered to vote and couldn't have been more clueless about the election. Obama or McCain (hopefully Obama!), learn the issues, form an opinion, and vote for your country's future. Just learn the issues and vote. It really is that simple.

New Words For Nora

So I taught Nora the term "butt crack" the other day.

It was an accident.

She was wearing a pair of jeans that were too big on her and she bent over to pick something up and I could see her butt crack, so I said, "Hey, I can see your butt crack!"

So, maybe it wasn't an accident, but I was half-way across the room when I said it and I didn't think she'd hear it, let alone remember and repeat it. But maybe I did think she'd hear it—why else would I have said it? Sometimes I just don't think before I speak.

Anyway, this morning she had just gone potty and was still naked when she pointed to her butt and proudly announced to her mommy/my sister, "That's my butt cracking!"

I guess that's what she's going to call it.

Today I was...

• watching another Clinton supporter, Elizabeth Joyce, stumble her way through a Larry King int. She's like a crackhead, this is an SNL skit. #
• teaching my nephew Jack how to knock things over. I'm never going to be allowed near him and Nora again. #
• making beach house plans for next week! #

UPDATE: Here's that whacko on Larry King.

Medicine

Yesterday, Nora saw me taking pills from a prescription bottle.

Nora: KK, are you sick?
Me: No, I'm not sick.
Nora: Then why you taking medicine?
Me: Because I'm crazy.


And then later...

Nora (really excited): Mommy, KK takes medicine because she's crazy!

I'm going to teach her to follow that up by shaking her head wildly back and forth like a nut.

The Vegetarian Report

So, I've been a vegetarian for about a week now, and I have to say... my stomach is flatter. I didn't do this to lose weight (although I need to and, um, nice side effect!) and I don't think not eating meat is what's made it this way, I just think I'm eating better—more fruits and veggies—and therefore, looking better.

I've allowed myself to eat fish, so the whole thing has been surprisingly easy. Andie told me that her friend Yvonne says this is called being a "pescetarian," as opposed to a vegetarian. Yvonne has a website called The Traveling Vegetarian, on which she posts webisodes about traveling the country as a vegetarian. It's really cute; check it out.

So anyway, so far, so good! I'll keep you posted about any big changes!

Btw, Andie's dog Scruffy has a HUGE crush on Beverly. Click here to see pictures of him. (I hope Bev's belly doesn't turn him off.)

Beverly's Belly

Okay, this is kind of mean and I love Beverly, but she's sound asleep on the couch next to me right now and her belly is sooooo big and I just had to show you.

Here she/it is:




What I just did is pretty much the equivalent of taking pictures of a college friend who's passed out with dicks drawn on his face and then emailing them to everyone he knows, but OMG... how cute and fatty-pa-tatty is she?

Today I was...

• waiting for Hilary's big speech. Unite everyone, Hil! #
• so excited by Hil's speech and it's only 2 minutes in. #
• watching CNN give airtime to the biggest idiot EVER. A Clinton delegate who can't accept that Hil won't be president. #

UPDATE: This is who I'm talking about in the last tweet:

New School Year

After watching me go bananas over these adorable pictures my friend Bridget took of her kids on their first day of school...








Beverly and Elvis disappeared with the camera for a while and then returned with these:






(Btw, the sign is such a good idea, right? Bridget said, "I've been doing the sign thing since they started preschool at age two. Each year the sign remains the same (my scrawl) but the year changes. It's so super cute to see how they change each year... I highly encourage others to do the same. I can envision them on their first day of high school, cursing me and my stupid signs."

Yes, they will, Bridge... but they'll love you for it later on in life!)

Meet Bob

From Leigh B.

"My poor dog Bob. He is a 5-year-old Beagle/Dachshund mix. I love dressing him up partly for how cute he is and partly for the despondent look he gets.

The first two pics are Christmas cards I sent out. The first being titled "Oh Tannenbob" and the second is titled "Fleas Navibob."







The third is not a Christmas card, but it's a good example of how dejected he can look.




I am sure he dreams of my torture in his sleep."

Mark

So, did you all watch Mark on InFANity last night? Didn't he do a stellar job? Yay Mark!

Here are some ghetto pictures I took of him on the TV. (I haven't figured out how to get video or stills from the TV to my computer, so I had to use my camera.)

Here is he on the phone:




And here is he working hard on the computer:

Lou Malnati's Pizza

My brother-in-law is doing his fantasy football draft right now. All the guys in his league live in Chicago and he usually flies there for draft day, but he couldn't this year so they sent him a frozen Lou Malnati's pizza so it can be like he's right there with them. (He's doing his picks over the phone.)

Lou Malnati's is my favorite pizza in the entire world and I cannot tell you how excited I am to have some. The loose tomato sauce on the top is what makes it so amazing.

UPDATE: The pizza had sausage on it, but I picked mine off because I'm going on my fourth day of being a vegetarian. :)

Oh Yeah

I want http://www.timelife.com/softrock

I also want a stick microphone like Bonnie Tyler.

Ping Pong

Omg, I'm watching ping pong Olympics.

I didn't think it was real so I turned to my brother-in-law and was like, "This is Saturday Night Live, right?" Because I totally thought it was.

But it's not.

These guys are total badasses. Their shirts have fire and dragons on them, and they're totally wild with their paddles.

UPDATE: Here are some photos:

I cannot wait for the Olympics 2012 because I'm going to watch ping pong non-stop and make Pretty in the City ping pong central.

Dance Class

My sister and I took Nora to a dance studio open house today to inquire about enrolling her in classes. She wasn't that interested in ballet, but the tap shoes and all the noise they made... that was a different story.

She takes after her Auntie KK.

Today I was...

• getting down to "Chaka Khan. Chaka Khan. Chaka Khan let me rock you, let me rock you Chaka Khan. Let me rock you that's all I wanna do." #
• packing my bag for a weekend away. Auntie KK's going to see her little muffins! #
• chasing Elvis around the apartment so I can put him in his bag and bring him with. #
• wondering why Grand Central is so damn busy. Did I just say that? No, but for reals... It's way more crowded than usual. #
• watching The Backyardigans with my niece. It's her big treat before bed. I like Uniqua (sp?) the best. #

Psst... Hey, You

"It's Beverly and Elvis. Remember us? We live here."



"Listen, Elvis... I'm getting kinda pissed that mommy
keeps putting pictures of other people's pets on her blog."

"Yeah, me too."

"What's up with that sh*t?"

"Beverly, watch your mouth."

"Shut up. You're not my mother."

"No, I'm not your mother. She keeps putting pictures
of other people's pets on her blog—remember?"

"Yeah, you're right. Sorry about that."

"No problem, homey."

"Ugh—why do you always do that?"

"Do what?"

"Act like you're from the hood?"

"Because I am."

"He is."

"You are."

"I know."

"I was on Divorce Court."

"He was."

"That's right."

"Don't eat me."

"We won't."

"Of course."

"Okay."
