Still Got It

For some reason our weeks just keep flying by. Here we are and it's Friday already. In one week I've been lucky enough to go out lunch with Scott to a new place called Taste of Philly, get our car switched from a total so now they'll fix it, see Tennnison tie his shoe on his own, watch him "swallow" a tooth only to have his sister discover it in his cereal bowl (really I think it was a miracle), watch Whitney do an awesome job in a play about the holidays coming, and in a little bit I'll be heading out to see Tennison play an Indian in a class program. Speaking of Indian... When I was little we sat Indian-style. I brought this up once to my girls and they looked at me mortified like I said some rude comment about a persons race. Well, that was how we said it. Now they sit "crisscross-applesauce". What is that anyway? I still don't get it. I mean what is crisscross about applesauce, and why are we putting our spoons (arms) in the bowl (the empty spot in the middle of our Indian-style legs)? Hmmm....

Now, why have I titled this "Still Got It"? This was a highlight for my ego in this lightning fast week: I was driving along the other day and stopped at a light just past the high school. I look to my right and there are 2 high school guys smiling at me. Inside I yelled, "YEP! You've still got it." I figure if high schoolers were looking my way it put me in my late 20's. What mom wouldn't get a smidge excited about that? The harsh reality is this... I was driving my dad's Explorer, had I been in the minivan this would have never happened. I guess I'll be cool a little longer until the van is fixed. Then I'll just be that mom in the white van, still on the edge of 40.

As you may have seen I added a column on my blog about 40 New Experiences by My 40th. I'll keep adding to it and hope to fulfill this crazy idea!! Here's to a great weekend.
