Holy Crap...Remember me? RTT
I received a notice from blogher today cutting off my ads because I haven't posted in 2 weeks..
T W O weeks? - I have never left y'all for that long!
Sorry...really I am.
Lets see if I can catch you up with a RANDOM THOUGHTS Tuesday.... this week AMY over at The Bitchin Wives Club is hosting...
Here goes some RANDOM...
* NEVER found my passport... : ( however the American Embassy was VERY HELPFUL, and issued me an EMERGENCY passport in a matter of hours.
*The Embassy needs to fire the miserable biotch who answers the phone ...because she always seem full of doom & gloom... but really they were VERY HELPFUL.. (see above)
*The trip?- not worth the emergency passport... it was ALL WORK... wth?... usually work functions are a lot of fun... not so much this time...
never even made it into LONDON... : (
*Just got back from a nice relaxing week in the mountains skiing with another family...
*My 5 year old took off skiing off of the top of the Mt. (her first day down hill) - Did NOT turn out well... Just happy to say she was not turned off of the sport for good & begged daddy to go up again! : ) - lots of pictures coming this week...
* I have a GIRL Crush.. on about 5 different women... I sound like a horrible tramp don't I?
Met the GREATEST group of Expat women who I LOVE LOVE LOVE... went out to dinner with the lot & can't remember the last time I laughed so hard. - we are planning a girls trip to BARCELONA in Sept...
*Oh ya... While I have been away I turned 39... So far so good... my last year in my 30's has been filled with Friends/laughing/family...can't complain can I?
* My childhood BFF & Maid of Honor Michele became a first time MOMMY today...
Welcome Peyton & Brooke...aunt TT can't wait to meet y'all. MUAHHHHH!

Happy Birthday a bit late.
Congrats to the new mommy - what a great photo.
Congrats to your friend. How exciting to have twins & honestly? She looks amazing especially considering she's just given birth to twins!
Oh I hear you on the embassy doom and gloom thing - I think I've even met that woman! I might at some point in the future post about my experience with their system over the past few years. Let's just say I can't believe they called me in, saying all the paperwork was in order, only to be told once I arrived in Oslo that all the documentation and photos are too old (yikes 1 1/2 yrs!) and I have to get it all done again! All because they've taking their own sweet time. Aaarggh.
Good to see your littlest one has inherited your strength of character taking on the toughest slopes- I well remember my skiing debut (at the less than tender age of 17). At some pokey resort in Italy, there'd been no snow for weeks so we had to do our beginner sessions right up the top of he mountain.
Now to me a key advantage of learning when you are little is that you get little skis - me being 6ft plus, I get a pair of enormous planks. First day, last in line, I'm still desperately fidgeting with my ski boot trying to get it to stick on.
With everyone else waiting at the bottom the instructor rushes me to get on with it so I figure I'd better go. Within a second my left ski takes off full throttle down the mountains and off I go desperately trying to work out how I do a snowplough with only one ski.
I career wildly to the side eventually plummeting on my backside , ski pointing inches away from a terrified looking little 6 year olds face
Since then I've stuck to the wii fit version!!
