BEER PONGLESS...

Why is it that I am one of the only people who never played Beer pong? I mean I feel kinda left out, considering everyone I know thinks it is insane that I never played; until post college! What does it say about me, that I am beer pongless? I very much enjoy a drinking game, but I think in reality I was never a really big drinker! Certainly not in HS, I was an athlete and all about my sport, but my friends were super fucked up:) I dabbled in things for sure, but did not really come into my own until college, where I experimented shall we say in many a thing; ONE of them was not beer pong. So my business parter said that she would like to set up a time where we play in the office (post baby). Sounds like a good time to me, but also sounds like a day of constant trips to the bathroom, once you break the...well you know. Just sayin! XOXO BTC

CAN YOU "LIKE" ONE OF YOUR KIDS MORE THAN THE OTHER?

Is it possible that when you have more than one child, you can "like" one better of the other? In other words, I mean you have to love them both inside and out, all the good and all the bad...but is it possible to really like one better than the other? I think the answer has to be...YES! I am sure I could get a lot of slack for saying that, but my thoughts are this...there has to be one you connect with more, on a friend level than the other. There HAS to be that bond that can't be broken between a mother and a child, and that's something you have to equally share; BUT what if you are really friends with one over the other. One is probably your "go to" person, and the other one is always the 2nd to know (or whatever position you have depending on how many kids). Then the question is, does the other know? Meaning does the one you like less, know they are liked less? AND when I say like you know what I mean, this is NOT at all dependent on how much you love your child. OYE the things we think about, or I should say the things that go on in my head! Happy "Terrible fucking Tuesday!" XOXO BTC

"THE BEST DAY EVER!"-REPUNZEL

Today is Memorial Day, and I first have to thank everyone who has given their life so that we could live in the glorious country that we live in. It goes without say on most day, but today it must be addressed. We thank you and we admire your strength and dedication to the USA! On a lighter note, we came home early in the AM from friends and decided to make it a Manhattan day! The weather was INSANELY gorgeous and we always talk to the kids about how we lived downtown; so today seemed like a great day to go down and enjoy the area! We decided to head down to the West Village, sit outside and enjoy the weather, go to the park and then last but not least...have a sweet treat! It was such a lovely family day, and I really cannot wait to do MORE of those types of things now that the girls are older; and more importantly easier:) I am so thankful everyday for my family, our health, happiness, etc. I hope whatever you were doing...was with people you love too! Happy Memorial Day! Here's to a GREAT summer! XOXO BTC

MY LITTLE PENELOPE...

Today is a very sad day, we put our dog Penny (the most amazing, lovely Golden) to sleep. Strangely enough she's my mom's dog, but for my kids that means it's like their dog too. Our little penny... I am most concerned about what to say to the kids, how to tell them, and what to say happened. With Aiden, I will be 100% honest, we have talked about death at length before, and she needs to know the truth. Lila on the other hand is not old enough to REALLY understand what has happened, so how do I tell her Penny is gone? I think I am going to have Aiden help make up a story for her, and one that seems as final as a 2.8 year old can handle. One that she will hopefully remember every time we go to Nana's house. Most of all I am so sad for my mom, she's going to be lost without her...and her world already feels so bare. It's hard to imagine what it's like without having a dog or animal as a pet for that matter; and I worry about the toll it may take on her. Today is dedicated to her...lets drink to Penny, the kindest little golden in the world. We will miss you and will love you forever! Have a lovely holiday weekend, I am sure we will speak sometime in the next few days! XOXO BTC

UM HELL...YOU WRITE LIKE YOU TALK!

I am not sure what teacher said this to me...but I once wrote what I thought was an amazing piece, and the teachers said, "you can't write like you talk"...Is that true? I think not! Funny that is exactly what I think works so well for me, the fact that I DO write like I talk! AND speaking of which... You would think that I would want all the attention on me, I would want to always talk about myself, I don't know that sort of thing. Funny enough, I SO don't! I am thinking about how shitty my day has been, WEEK actually and about to leave for a dinner, with a really good friend. I can't wait to drink good wine and chat about life, but when I think about it I rarely talk about myself. It's like I start the subject when asked how my day was, but can't follow through with all the details about how bad it really is. I think there's a huge part of me that does not want them to think I am just spewing shit about myself. Is that how people would perceive it? I don't know, this fucking day has GOT to end! OH and to boot, my dog is dying...like REALLY? XOXO BTC

WHY ARE THE SMARTEST PEOPLE SO DUMB?

Why is it that the smartest people, can also be the dumbest? It's strange to say that, but there's always something a little "off!" I don't know, maybe it pays to be a little dumber? SO, today is terrible Tuesday, it's hotter than it was supposed to be, it's Tuesday so that always makes things shitier, it's the week BEFORE a Holiday weekend so everyone has already checked out, AND last but not least...this month has sucked just like all the rest of the months that have past; this year. Why it is that every New Years you claim that THIS is the year things will be better, that THIS is the year everyone will be happier, that THIS is the year everything will change? Why do we feel the need when we know it's just going to be a let down in so many ways. On a much heavier note, I am SICK about what happened in Oklahoma. It's amazing what one natural disaster can do to a country...the fact that so many kids lives were taken, houses, peoples lives will forever be changed; and we just go on like it's a normal day! I am so so incredibly sorry for their losses, and pray they will find the strength...with everyone's help to get through another day. Bon Voyage on this "Terrible Tuesday", I hope yours is as bad as mine:) XOXO BTC

I GOT 2 TICKETS TO PARADISE!

What is it about people who constantly take vacation, that I wanna punch? I mean not ones that make millions, or who even deserve to go on a vacation...I am talking those that don't really work, even though they own a company. The ones who just think they need to "get away" but yet they don't do much of anything? The ones who's companies are not even doing so well they just think they "deserve" it; while assholes like me work day in and day out. What do they get "two tickets to paradise?" What does it say about you when you feel like you cannot disconnect from work? I mean when you make tons of EARNED income, and have discretionary money at your disposable I think that's fair; AND if you don't make tons of money but work all the time too...you can for SURE take a vacation. In truth I really hate those people, and I know it's not really fair for me to hate them, but I do! UGH typical monday, hate everyone and just wanna pack it in! XOXO BTC
