Five Observations

Five observations I made this week:

1. Without fail, I feel like I'm walking on clouds when I wear new sneakers. It makes me realize how little support my old ones were giving me. No wonder my hip was bothering me more. The husband was right...

2. Since we started watching "The Price is Right" now and then, I've noticed that Rosie's imaginary price amounts have increased dramatically. The "pet fish" she was trying to "sell" me cost "ten hundred dollars". Before, it was more like "three dollars".

3. June is the best month to be a stay at home mom. We have some summer-like weather, but school's not out yet so some places (ahem, DAR beach) are still deserted except for a few other parent & child groups like ourselves. It's quite wonderful. And quiet.

4. One of my favorite quick, easy dinners is still Pastrami Sandwiches. So simple, so good. My mom made them and now I do as well. Toast up some English muffins, fry thinly sliced pastrami in the frying pan, add a piece of cheese towards the end, just enough so it melts. A little mayo on the English muffins, slap the pastrami and cheese on. Enjoy. Roast a veggie to go with it and you're golden.

5. One of the prettiest times of day at our house is about an hour before the sun goes down. Our yard, which is in the sun all day, begins to change over to shade, but there's still enough amber sunlight to make things look downright magical.
