Top 5 COOL things that happened today (even though it was HOT)
Today was incredible. The weather in San Francisco has been completely out of the ordinary, it was sunny and hot – ice cream weather! I took the kids to the park but we only stayed about 45 minutes because my littlest looked as if we was going to melt.
Aside from the weather some really cool things happened today – here's my top 5.

Top 5 Reasons I love my little guy.
Why oh why are babies so irresistible? Don't get me wrong – I love all my babies, no matter how old they are BUT my six month old is so darn cute. Were the other two this cute? (I'm sure they were because actually they all look alike.)
I was staring at the baby this morning and he is so happy and grabby, just wants to grab your face and, of course, all I want to do is study him. So there we are peacefully enjoying ourselves – no complaining, no talking back, no 'I wants'.
Maybe that's it –...

Cruising, Book Grouping and Giveaways too
I had a fabulous weekend. Date night was so much fun we went on a bay cruise – the weather was absolutely NOT usual. There was no wind on the bay at all. It was sunny and calm and fantastic. We cruised alongside Alcatraz and then underneath the Golden Gate Bridge and then stayed in a cove for a while to enjoy some pesto dip and red wine. I've got pictures, but they are still in the camera – so I'll have to post them later.
On Sunday, I spoke at a book group. They choose Bundle of Trouble...

Top 5 Favorite Things about Date Night
I'd like to list "No Kids" five times and although that might be true, it would be a kind of like cheating – so here goes:
1. Time with Hubby (sort of a no-brainer as that is the whole point) but I have to list it.
2. No kids (of course, right up there with number 1).
3. Get to wear "grown up" shoes, becasue I won't have to chase anyone unexpectly!
4. Can wear a "grown up" blouse or dress – because the only spit up I'll have to worry about is my own!
5. I can bring a small tiny-teeny cocktail...

Top 5 Favorite Things at the Fair
Today we went to the San Mateo County Fair. I did a reading on Bundle of Trouble and then we took the kids on the rides they wanted to go on (or better put – all the rides they were tall enough for).
Below are my top 5 favorite things:
1. Free Parking! Becuase I was hosted by the Creative Arts department we got a parking pass – who doesn't love that?
2. My reading went well (sigh of relief) and Carmen my 5 yr old got to sit beside me during it!
3. Hot dogs on a stick (always a crowd pleaser).
