lists of lists

don't likes:

getting a great coupon via email and starting to fantasize about how i'm going to buy hundreds of tacos and have a huge cinco de mayo dinner for the kids (because heavens knows i don't do 5 step assembly things like tacos...), only to refresh my email to find it was sent out incorrectly. SOOOO NOT COOL, DEL TACO!!! 39 cent tacos should be for everyone today, NOT just Phoenix, AZ. that's it! i am boycotting del taco! (ok, that's not going to work....) i should print the free taco "we're sorry" coupon 20 times and we'll call it straight :)

breakfast/brunch... i know Dr Oz probably says you should breakfast like a king, but i just feel so overstuffed and lethargic, if i eat a big breakfast. i'd much rather have a yogurt for breakfast, and then splurge the calories for pizza and hot fudge brownies later ;)

the great park balloon of Orange County, which has a full staff 100% of the time even though that ridiculous, pointless, lame effigy of a balloon can only fly 5% of the time. and the park isn't even due to be completed till something like 2115... argghhh!!!

flash mobs

that there is no wii violin or handbell hero - i checked :(

children staying up past 8pm :|

likes:

Laura Bush - well, more than i thought i would. let's say i didn't dislike her. ok, apart from her weird non-Oprah eye contact thingie and the part where she went on about having to sleep in a camp bed on the night of 9/11 and what a dreadful night's sleep it was (did anyone actually sleep that night??? i don't think i slept for about a week....) anyway, that was odd. but she was sweet, i wonder if she'd consider helping me make an american quilt, and let me take some pictures in the fields of blue bonnets, i want to go to Texas this summer if i don't go to Paris :)

finding some prenatal multivitamins which don't make me sick every morning... hip horray!!

text messages with pictures attached :)

'laid' by james (we sooooo need a 'Clinton Years' rock band edition :) and i never knew James were from Manchester...)

shopping in Foothill Ranch, it has everything on my list... well, except a Ruby's, Trader Joes's and Albertsons... but i pass all those things on the way to Foothill Ranch :)

babies dressed in just a white onesie on a sunny afternoon

the way the ducklings gleefully run over to their little paddling pool, always in a perfect little line with Mr Boss Man, the 'alpha duck' in front chirping to keep Runner and Bob in line (ducklings don't quack - they chirp :)

the way they vacuum up their food and water with such gusto and speed - they do everything 100% :)

Danny's new guitar - he is outside performing 'Friller' as i type :)

sharing costco churros with the kids after school on cinco de mayo

the friend who delivered fresh tortillas last week delivering amazing taco-stand tacos today (this Del Taco boycott might hold for at least a day or two :)

    I need to ask you a question but I don't have your email address. How can that be?

    Anyway, I shall ask you here.

    Dear queen of online shopping,
    I would like to purchase a 'snack trap' for my little piggy but it seems that there is not one to be bought in all of Australia.
    Could you, with your world wide webby wisdom, please tell me who in the U S of A might be prepared to sell me one and ship it internationally?
    Please don't go to any trouble. Just if you know, ya know?
    Ta very muchly,
    Miss Money-To-Burn.

    P.S. IF I were English and IF I had cool kids and IF I lived near you I would soooo be answering your application to fill the vacancy for a friend. :)
