You have been very busy VB! You are such a good daughter (and sister to clean your brother's room). It is a lot of work to get ready for Passover properly, you are smart to start early! And how nice to make your mother a surprise birthday cake!

My father's birthday is on Thursday! Their birthdays are close, our parents. And my niece was born the same day as my dad - he turns 85 and she turns 18! Two big birthdays! My uncle is taking him out to dinner tomorrow for his birthday. It's too bad he lives so far away.

Ooo la la you are in the 2nd level of French already! You are one smart cookie!

French is a very smooth-sounding language, no hard jangly sounds. I thing Portuguese sounds like French too - it's like they say Spanish words but pronounce it like French! LOL!

We watched the premiere of 'New Amsterdam.' This star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau I guess is a big star in Denmark. He has kind of an odd nose, but he seems pretty nice. He's married and has little kids in Denmark, so if the show gets picked up, I guess he'll have to bring them over, or he'll be way too homesick. Too soon to tell about the show, although I don't think he can keep going around saying "I've been married 52 times" or "I remember Prohibition" and stuff like that to his co-workers or they'll throw a net over him and put him in the looney bin! He's not exactly secretive about the whole 'I've lived since the 1600s' thing.

LOL, MLette said "You mean he doesn't have any powers or anything - he's just really really old?" Yep, no powers, he's just lived a long time and won't die. I love that his dog is named "36"! Can you imagine how many dogs you would have if you lived forever?

We watched some of the special about the Queen - I was so embarrassed watching the footage of when she visited President Bush and the White House - you just know he was going to say or do something stupid and embarrassing. I mean, they've got the Queen - we've got the Village Idiot. sigh. Everything is so formal and fancy for her, coming here must be liking visiting an uncouth bunch of savages! I laughed so much at the place they were staying in Virginia, the woman said "We put on a new toilet seat for her." Nothing too good for the Queen or her derriere!

I like the Queen - she's been doing this job since she was a young girl of 25, she's 82 now with no retirement option, and she just keeps on keeping on and has served her country for a long time very well. Sort of like Castro, only without the whole evil communist dictator and cigar thing! And a lot more jewelry, costumes, and little doggies.

And you wouldn't believe what just showed up unexpectedly, just when I was thinking I could finally take a trip to someplace warm that had a pool and NOT have my period when I got there. Stupid pesky menopause stuff!
