Odd things in my purse

Since I have become a mom I've carried all sorts of things in my purse that have struck me as odd. Sippy cups, diapers, general necessities for a child but then when I go out to drinks with girlfriends and go to pay it's odd reaching past the matchbox cars and diaper cream. Another reason I'm so glad Isabelle is potty trained, I am free of a diaper bag. However this does not alleviate the odd things in my purse.

All this week every time I go in my purse I find 2 dirty little girls socks. I took them off her feet sometime this weekend when we were out and about and in my purse they went. I generally don't need my purse at home so I always forget to take them out when I get home. I'm hoping blogging about it will help me remember!

SPRING!

The photos above remind me of ladies who lunch and starting this Friday I will be a lady who lunches! Only on Fridays, but still! I have taken a new job that is 16 hours a week and my current job was so wonderful to allow me to work another 16 hours a week. SO I now only work 4 days a week and I cannot tell you how excited I am for this! I'm hoping that now I will have time to take Isabelle to the zoo and to meet my friends who are stay at home moms and do all sorts of fun things! Maybe even craft!! (Speaking of crafting I will update you on the "eggs" tomorrow.)

The photos above are from the LIFE collection of photos on Google images. They were taken by Joel Yale in 1962.

Verizon Hub AKA The Secret to being Super Mom!

I saw the commercial for the new Verizon Hub last night. It's a new gizmo that integrates a whole bunch of fun technologies into one. I can't find the commercial online yet but the gist is that you can watch a cooking show on this phone and then send a video to your family about what you will be having for dinner. Then the son sends a video message back to you from his cell phone saying he will not eat what you are making and then you use the directory to find a pizza place to order out for dinner.
I told Todd that I wanted this immediately! We are not even with Verizon and I can guarantee that it will not be available in our area for quite some time, probably not until the next decade. However I was amazed at the ad. They metaphorically put a "SM" emblem on this mothers chest and a blazing red cape around her neck and made her "SUPER MOM" in 30 seconds or less. It was amazing and I now want one. Not that we would ever use it, not that Isabelle will ever have a cell phone, not that I have ever attempted to make Spanish rice, and not that I would ever let Isabelle dictate what we are eating for dinner. You eat what you are given and like it. The images that is conjured in my head of how it would make life so much easier. It made it look as if it folded the laundry, made the beds, cleaned the bathrooms and then showed you how to make dinner.
Like I said I want one. SO have you seen the commercial? What did you think?
As soon as I find it on the web I'll post it!
