one night a friend and i were driving to an herb farm, south of the cities at the end of the day. my friend is about 6 years older than i, and has 3 children. i hate bumper to bumper traffic. we were stuck in it, and i was complaining. so she decided we’d start naming the hollywood stars that we’d like to “meet” (you get my drift). what fun to think of all of the dreamy hunks… colin firth and johnny deep were at the top of my list. it wasn’t until days later that i realized she had played the classic toddler/dog training trick on me: focus my attention on something other than the thing that was bothering/distracting me. i felt played, but admit it worked!

and lori: i’d rather be in better shape, too!
