David Beckman on The View

I had a nice treat when I brought Margaux in from her class at the Y this morning. I had left the tv on (which I don't normally do but you know some mornings it happens). Anyway, as I walk in (from the rain) there in all his glory was David Beckman hobbling to the couch to meet the ladies on The View. Now I have no idea why he was on there, he has no movie or book coming out, he certainly isn't plugging any upcoming football games he is in, he must be bored! Despite him saying 'We was in Napa last week' at which I cringed (we 'were' David) I really have no complaints. He looked gorgeous. Seriously, that man just gets better looking. Victoria was there also, and she looks great too, she never seems to age. Again, I have no idea why he was on there, other than to have a morning gab, but I'm not moaning. It certainly brightened up a cheery day.

meanwhile, here are the kiddies in their wagon. We was at the park :)

Update on the Tina Fey/Donut article

Ha - so my New York magazine came (not my favourite magazine after they did a really unfavourable article on me and hubby a few years ago.. Anyway, as always, I digress.. And I always flick first to my favourite section on the back page - 'The Approval Matrix' and the Tina Fey article is mentioned under 'Brilliant Lowbrow'!! To quote for those that don't get the mag - 'Tina Fey on Peter Pan doughnuts in Greenpoint: 'If I had a penis, I would put it in this donut'.

HILARIOUS!! Now I'm not sure if I should take this particular page to the old biddes as they still seem so upset over her initial article, but they just don't get it, it's even MORE business for them!!

You call this a slice of white pizza?

After a fun w/end in Florida which was much needed after all the recent 'drama' I came back to NY craving a pizza.

So I trundled up to our local spot and asked for a slice of my favourite pizza 'white'.

This is what they served. No yes, they are 'bite' marks in them, but I was bloody staaaaarving and had to just take a bite, and maybe another, until I realised how disgusting it was and thus broke out the camera to share.

Kidney Stones and Robert Moses Beach

Interesting few hours.
First of all, I spent three hours at NYU Emergency Room downtown last night in crippling pain. Turns out I had kidney stones. I limped in, barely able to stand up and after three hours of listening to babies screaming, old people moaning and drunks shouting, I was dismissed and left with almost a spring in my step (and feeling slightly embarrassed). Had I known it was just kidney stones I obviously wouldn't have gone in, but at the time I was scared to death.

Then today it's 85 degrees here in NY so I took the kids, plus Spencer's friend Denim to Robert Moses beach out in Long Island. Here are some shots from the day.

Tina Fey and donuts

We have an amazing donut shop that is horrifyingly close to us. It is perhaps the best donut you will ever have in the world and we've been going every w/end for over four years.

I took the kids in the other day and there was an outrage amongst all the regulars and what a 'potty' mouth Tina Fey has. Naturally my curiousity was piqued so I asked what was up and they showed me an interview the amazing Ms. Fey just did for Esquire magazine. I can't find it online to quote verbatum but it had something to do with penis's and donuts. She said how great Peter Pan's donuts were and yet they were all horrified by her. I tried to explain to them that what she said was 'great press' but they looked at me with a 'you're as bad as she is' face so I bolted! Nothing I could say would appease them, I just hope Ms Fey goes back soon so maybe I can congratulate her on what she said and getting all the old biddies so rattled!

Correction - it's BUG OFF

I realised when Spencer was spelling it out loud in the car that I was wrong. It's B U G O F F on Ponyo, not B O G O F F. I actually think Bug Off is worse as it rhymes with F### off. You get the drift...

In the meantime, here are the cuties. Spencer is obsessed with his Buzz Lightyear costume (thanks Uncle Chris and Auntie Emma) and Margaux her princess dress (Auntie Hayley)
