Quiche....how you spell?

"You don't spell it son, you eat it!" Can anyone name that movie? This Quiche is sooo yummers. I got it from the Smitten Kitchen blog and she adapted it from Le Pain Quotidien. And I adapted it further. (I left out the onions and leeks cuz my kids love Quiche and that woulda ruined it for 'em.) Here is the link.

Snowy February post in April, oops!

Yes I know its late, but back in Feb. we had a big snowstorm and they even cancelled school which they NEVER do here (hear that you VA/DC whimps?) The kids had a blast playing in it.

And after we had shoveled the front walkway and were sick of scooping up poopy snowballs we did what any normal family does and we went up to the roof to play. No poop to be found, well er except pigeon poop that is.

And then we built a prize winning snowman.

And did some snow wrestling....

And even mom decided to have some fun! It was a fun day topped off by some amazing fresh fish at Osman's, he is a killer cook.

Newscaster for a day....or maybe a second

Wow, its been a while and I know everyone is just dying to know what we've been up to so I am going to attempt to catch you up on all the news thats fit to print.

The YW were lucky enough to get a tour of the CBS studios from a gorgeous gal in our ward Cali Sorensen. As you can see we are hard at work on a news story. Or maybe she's trying to tell me how to work the button for the teleprompter. Either way it was fun and the YW liked it, or so we hope :)

Slang

Last night, don't laugh but one of our school assignments was to find some examples of good and bad writing online and then we had to write our own nightmare email that broke all the rules.

This was mine:

Yo K-Dawg, what up? I cant go shopping w/u tmrw cuz i have to go 2 lunch w/my g-ma.have fun n dont by to much clothes!!!!!!!!!

peace out.

The sad slash funny thing about this is that when K dawg and I email this is what they sound like. Except of course for the improper usage of "by" and "to" the bad grammar of "to much" I'm not that unedumacated :) So then I read Erin's blog after this assignment and it was so perfect. What are some of my loyal readers favorite slang phrases and words that you use when no one's looking? I'll start you off by showing you my comment to Erin's blog last night. I know there are people who read this who use slang, so please don't be shy and no I'm not at all ashamed to admit that I talk like this....ok well maybe just a little.

my personal faves that you should only use if you are trying to up your level of sophistication are:
word?
word up?
word to ya motha.
dude
for rills?
freak, frickin and friggin
mother!!
oh and my all time favorite...dang gina! (used as an exclamation)
and sadly yes I do use these phrases on a daily basis..

Nicole from The Biggest Loser....

is like my new BFF at the gym. She taught an awesome lift class and then we chatted it up after and she told me that she was on the show. So of course I almost fainted as I do when I meet any celebrity ;) No but really she was super sweet and I was sweatin it up.

In other extremely exciting news not to be missed, I am now the member of the month at the 53rd and Lex 24 hour Fitness Derek Jeter Ultra Sport Club...phew thats a mouthful. Not sure how it happened, oh wait yes I do, I'm obsessed with going to the gym. I am literally a crabby patty if I don't go so I go everyday and I share the gym gospel with my friends, and I use the kids club, and I go to classes, and I buy training sessions(when they're on sale) and apparently all any of this does for me is get me 2 free tshirts (old past event and too big tshirts I might add) and my picture on a wall. Whoopdy frickin doo doo. Not that I'm not grateful because I am. You can never have too many over sized tees to wear with your leggings.....

Sleeping Beauty

E's friend had a few little parts in the American Ballet Theater's version of The Sleeping Beauty, so we decided to go to our very first ballet!

These seats, although very high, were perfect. See the nice cushy velvet? Well it was a perfect pillow for one bored mama. (E loved it and can't wait to see another ballet.....as for me I can't wait for another afternoon nap. )
