Checking in

1. I like milk with my pizza.

2. Trying to help Trevan learn how to ride a bike shows me I'm not a very patient person.

3. I love the movie Funny Girl with Barbara Streisand. (Haven't seen it? If you like musicals - so good! One of my favorites. Also, some of my favorite musicals you may not have seen, Summerstock with Judy Garland, and Elvis Blue Hawaii.)

4. I really do like football. I like watching, but I'd rather play.

5. I might rename my daughter Mimi. Not after Mariah Carey, but after the fact those are the words that leave her lips the most, "me me me me me."

6. I could also rename her, "no." "Mallary, do you want a cookie?" "No." "Mallary, do you want a million dollars?" "No." Seriously. It gets old.

7. The best combination is a bread bowl from Panera with chicken noodle soup from Chic-Fil-A. That's how I do it anyway.

8. Stuffing marshmallows and oreos in your children's faces so you can talk on the phone without screaming in the background - priceless.

9. Going to the dermatologist and not getting cut on?! I didn't know it could happen, but it did yesterday!!!

10. I should really be working right now...
