...Or how I am about a year behind the times in this revelation.
Even NPR is in on this whole discussion.
And what about this discussion catches my eye? There are multiple things. Most of the articles you read are about how females hate this MPDG. But, as much as i raed their words and understand their point, I know deep down their hate stems from another place they cannot accept: They want to be her. At least, that is what I assume. Honestly, for as many times as I have heard the guys fell in love with Natalie Portman in Garden State, I just as much watched that movie and fell in love with her. Zach Braff held nothing for me...in Natalie I saw everything I wanted to fall in love with, and at that time, everything I wanted to be. Does this still apply? No. But I don't feel the need to knock it now that I have matured.
...I dunno. This one (discussion) hits, in such a weird way, close to home. *shrugs*

Shares: So fresh and so clean
After a weekend visiting someone with NO shower curtian, I discovered this site, with shower curtians that RULE. seriously, the majority of these are great. My favorite is below, click the picture to link to the website for them allllllllll......
Goals: My Italian Journey begins
Here would be where I am starting. With this lovely book for mothers to teach their babies Italian. it is actually an audio CD. The phrases I shall learn from it are AWESOME because they all deal with mothers and children. That means I will be telling a lot of you that 'you look precious'. Seriously.
Here Is my next step up, an Italian CD and workbook for children. This one has a really simple fun activity guide to go with the CDs. I shall be making copies and doing them all. I must complete both of these before I move on to my 'adult' beginners Italian 'Learn Italian in your car!' CDs.
WISH ME LUCK!

Goals: I shall keep you updated on my progress!
I have offically decided, I am going to Learn Italian. Don't ask why Italian...doesn't seem practical. I can list languages that would be a lot more practical:
French: Because I took 3 years in High School
Spanish: Because of the Mexican populatoin in the United States
German: Because I plan on visiting Kristen, and will be absolutely lost
Chinese: Because I plan on visiting Dennis, and will be absolutely lost. And it would just be COOL to talk in Chinese with him. and my mom.
..and yet, I am still going with Italian. *Shrugs*
I begin my journey today with a trip to the library. I figure, since I am usually very uninclined to learning languages, I shall get the books in the childrens section. They have sound recordings to teach your baby and young children, and then childrens books like Little Red Riding Hood in Italian. THEN I shall move on to the beginners guides in the Adult section. ALLLL baby steps.

Shares: No Impact Man
“What if we called it ‘the year I lost 20 pounds without ever going to the gym once? Or the year we didn’t watch tv and we became much better parents as a result? Or the year we ate locally and seasonally and it ended up reversing my wife’s pre-diabetic condition?”
No Impact Man looks interesting. Then again, I love documentaries. There is also a article in The Times from 2007 about his and his familes journey.
