It was a gorgeous day, and I was supposed to be chaperoning the Kindergarten Olympics. Instead, I spent the day waiting to hear that my van needed $2000 in repairs.

Not the best day ever.

It hailed.

Bit of a cheat for this day, since I obviously didn’t take the picture. I actually let the boys use my fancy DSLR and this was one of the only photos in focus. I had my first SLR at about age 10, so I don’t think it’s too too early for them to start honing their skills.

Oh, and for the record, we were at a fundraiser for our neighborhood, and my head was in a gingerbread man photo prop thingy.

Had dinner with my friend Tara at Emeril’s Delmonico. Since it was her first time in New Orleans, we had to get the Bananas Foster. I mean, I had to make sure she got the full New Orleans experience. On a related note, she now understands why people gain weight when they come visit.

I was a Biggest Loser fan for a long time, but I stopped watching at some point because two hour episodes was just too much. But when I was given the chance to go see Jillian Michaels the other night, I had to go. It was a surprisingly good talk, if a bit long, and she may have finally convinced me to start buying organic dairy and meat.

Now maybe I’ll take the wrapper off the 30 Day Shred DVD I bought so many years ago.

Nah.
