Sue, Wobin and Leen (From left to right)....I don't know how in the little city of Slidell, LA I would end up with some of the raddest, funniest, most talented, witty, (flexible), craziest, danciest, most loving, got-yer-back type of BFFs in the universe. And if that isn't enough...these chicks can do a 3 day email conversation about cupcakes. In heaven did you guys get tailor-made to be my friends?! You gals were meant for me.
2: Bashas Supermarket
They offer babysitting in the store.
Seriously.
I am now a loyal customer for life.
Now one of my favorite things to do....ie, roam the supermarket aisles to dream about culinary delights; will not be Mcallus Interuptus by requests for Skootles, Cheetos, and whatever other items are within her reach. No more tantrums! I get to stop and free-read about Brangelina cover to cover without being pulled away by a screaming toddler. Oh the simple pleasures in life.
PLUS...they have plasma screens around the store just in case you are one of those worrying types that needs to peek in (I am not, but I love to spy).
3:The students at Paul Mitchell in SLC, UT...namely Rhiannon and Celeste.
They saved me from the head shearing of the century and were able (after 45 minutes of coaxing, caressing and a load of serums and detanglers) to get the round brush [Little was nice enough to implant in my scalp]...OUT. Angels, I tell you. Oh yes...and they didn't charge me.

4: KBAQ, 89.5
Thanks for keeping it harmonious in my car.
McCall calls it Princess music.
I call it sanity in the making.
5:Brothers
Somehow I got the ultimate hookup and got 5 of these bad boys. They rock. My family is the best and for some strange reason I got just about the best sampling of cool dudes ever (plus the married ones also hooked us up with some fab sis-in-laws). Less emotional than chicks, but just as loving and they pack a meaner punch :)
* In case you are wondering...this is Josh, taking his card losing punishment like a man...and shocking himself into oblivion with the bug zapper. Random and lovely . . .
There are many many other things and people I am grateful for (I could blog a few postings on Wendy and how heaven sent she is for being one of my greatest friends and the worlds greatest listeners...)but I have to get on to my next set of things for the day....just wanted to share some appreciation for some things that are on my mind this morning!

Now I see why you won't move back to Laveen...bashas...well I hope they appreciate you and we couldn't have lost you to a more worthy opponent. Crap...Emily just peed on my foot, gotta go.
Okay, how do I get a grocery store with Babysitting? This was the longest summer of my life-shopping with five kids! Before we moved I just hired a friend to watch them, but now that we live in no-man's-land, not so many options. With school in session, though, I usually only have three. But yesterday with only the twins--can you say NIGHTMARE! Double tantrums, double climbing out of the cart, double wanting to be held . . . I think I may just have to give in and only shop in the evening. I just hate giving up my night! Enjoy the beautiful blessing that Bashas is!
Do you remember that one time when I thought the name of the store was pronouced, "Boss Hoss!!" Good times...good times...
Don't worry, I understand why my name is not is not on this list of shout outs...You don't want others to get jealous. :)
Thanks for the shout out:) You are equally a the best listener and one who helps put things in perspective! I wish I had a Bashas....you know the more I think about it, there is one on 7th ave and osborn. That's not to far, if I want to keep my sanity, right?
I like how we made it to the top of your list. Holy. You know I got yo back. AND who WOULDN'T want to talk about cupcakes for days on end?! Seriously.
