Susan Sarandon

So we were walking in time square and I am about to cross the street when a big black SUV almost runs me over.... the back window was down and "the lady from Stepmom" is about 6 inches away from my face. I couldn't remember her name right away so I told Robert to take my camera, chase down the car and take a picture of "the lady from Stepmom". It turned out blurry but it was the thought that counts!!!! I later remembered her name and stopped referring to her as "the lady from Stepmom".

Like Lindsay Olives?

Sometimes when I tell people my name, they say "Lindsay.... like the olives?" I was clueless until I found Lindsay Olives at our grocery store. Robert insisted that we buy a can.

Field Trip Chaos

We took our 3rd graders on a field trip to the Bronx Zoo and it was exhausting. They were so excited that there was no hope of any order. We had fun riding the subway and watching the animals eat, sleep, and digest (sarcastic voice). Yay for field trips and YAY for 8 days left of school! What a year.

Happy Anniversary!

No words could describe how happy I am to be married to J. Robert W. Staples so I am not going to even try. Happy Anniversary Babe! And REMEMBER... I love you!

Nuclear Submarine and Aircraft Carriers

Robert was excited to find out that his student ID allowed him free entrance onto a Nuclear Submarine and Aircraft Carrier Museum on 47th street. He was like a little boy running around to all the planes and playing with all the gadgets. I will admit that the nuclear submarine was sweet. It was used during the cold war off the coast of the Soviet Union. They had nuclear weapons that were 10X stronger than the Atomic bomb aboard. The crew would stay on the sub for 2 months at a time without seeing daylight or showering. I had a instant respect for them after getting claustrophobic during the 15 minute tour.

WoW!

Amazingly enough all 7 of our high school friends, who live all over the country, were able to gather in NYC for a get away. From the minute the girls got here until the second they left....
WE HAD A BLAST! We forgot all our responsibilities and worries and enjoyed the moment.
We laughed until we cried.
We talked until the morning hours.
We ate until we were sick.
We shopped until we were poor.
We walked until our feet ached.
We soaked up NYC and each other until it was time to go.
I love my 6 best friends so much. They are beautiful, crazy, inspirational girls! You won't find a bunch like them. I miss you girls already!

***** Shout-out to the husbands who sacrificed to make this trip possible! I am still amazed that it all worked out.. I think it was meant to be :)

VISITORS!!!

My favorite roommate ever came to visit this weekend (if any other old roommates are reading this, you are my favorite as well). It was a blast to see her and her friends. We walked the Brooklyn bridge and went kayaking in the Hudson. Thanks Ashley for visiting us. We loved seeing your cute face.
