Guess Who Was on my Flight to NY?!?!

MARLO THOMAS!!!!!

I wasn't even in New York yet before I saw a celebrity.  She was on my connecting flight from Memphis which make since because St. Judes is in Memphis.  She was sitting on the first row (in first class, duh)!  And then I saw her again at baggage claim. 

However, the best part of the trip so far was the guy in the airport picking up his two girls (who I assume were his daughters) looked at my Alabama shirt and told me "Roll Tide!"  I could have hugged him.

As far as my actual flight goes...Once I get home from New York I am quite certain I will never fly again unless I absolutely have too.  It was awful.  I hated it just as much as I thought I would.  And it was so rainy and windy when we started our descent in New York that I was quite certain the plane was going to flip over.  Obviously it didn't.

I don't have any pictures yet because I haven't been anywhere but today's schedule includes Mary Poppins, Times Square, and The Hard Rock Cafe.  Hopefully I can post pictures tonight or tomorrow morning!

Five Question Friday

I will be leaving for New York today at 4:30!  I have never flown before and I am really nervous terrified!  Please pray for calm!  I may or may not be blogging while I am gone but I will try my best to post some pictures while I am up there.  If not then I will see you guys next Thursday!  In the mean time here is this weeks Five Question Friday.  Thanks Mama M for hosting!  Here are Belli's answers.

1.  How much time do you spend on the computer a day?
I touch all the computers in the house as often as I can while mommy isn't looking.  Actually I just touch them anytime even though I know I'm not supposed to and I know I will get in trouble.

2.  Will you pay for your children's college or will you raise them to pay for their own?
Well my Mimi paid for my mommy's college and my mommy is hoping to help pay for mine.  So I would like to keep with tradition and pay for my children's too.

3.  Have you ever been in a car accident?
No.  So far my mommy has been and impeccable driver!

4.  What is your favorite book?
I love the Where is the Puppy series that Sesame Street does.  Those are the books I read when I am doing my business.

5.  Do you make your bed everyday?
Nope.  I'm still in my crib with just the crib sheet so there is nothing to make up!  Mommy would probably like to keep it that way for as long as possible.

I Got a New Memory Card. See!

I'm Running Out of Time Before NY!

If you remember my post from Saturday with my virtual to do list you will know that I have a lot to do before I leave for New York on Friday.  I've only done one of those things on the list.  And that was get makeup.  I haven't done anything else.  And I also need to add washing my sweaters to the list.  Because you know, it's cold in New York.  I have to do a few hours of observations today and then I have class tonight so hopefully I will be able to get all of this stuff done tomorrow.  Hopefully...

My sister made us a tentative itinerary and email it to me the other day.  Here is a list of the places we are going:

Seeing Mary Poppins
Eating dinner in Times Square at the Hard Rock Cafe (I collect glasses from there)
American Museum of Natural History
Central Park
Dinner in The Village (not sure what restaurant yet though) 
Bodies Museum
Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island tour
The Today Show (unless I decided I don't want to get up that early)
Top of the Rock or Empire State Building.  Not sure which yet.
Lunch in Little Italy
Chinatown
The Bronx Zoo

We have a lot to do!!  And I still have a lot to do here before I go do all that there.  Here's to having a productive next couple of days!

Saturday Morning Thoughts

I must go get a new memory card for my camera.  MUST!  Mama M and CFMama have both requested a video of Belli's Asian singing that I referred to in my 5QF post yesterday.  Of course when I got home from work yesterday Belli was just Asian singing away and I couldn't record it.  I was also looking through the last few pages of my blog and there are no Belli pictures.  Why?  Because I have no memory on my memory card!  Poor Belli hasn't gotten her picture taken in at least a month.  What a horrible momma I am!

I need to go to the mall and get some more makeup.  I think I can only scrape out enough powder for one more day.

I need to start thinking about what I am going to pack for my trip to New York which I leave for in SIX DAYS.  I think I may vomit.  I have never flown before and I am terrified.  And my cousin who is going with me called me last night because she is terrified of staying in the Bronx where my sister lives.  Funny that I'm not scared of that but I am afraid of a flipping airplane. 

Which reminds me that I need to go get a memory cards so I can take pictures while I am there.  Oh wait.  I already needed to get a memory card anyway.  See I already forgot!  

Ah!  Where dos my brain go?!?!

I also need to order some of Belli's pictures that were taken for The Bell Center composite.  She's graduating this year!  Can you believe that?  I am so depressed. 

I need to go to work today which means I should probably quit typing out my virtual to do list.  If any of you want to comment or tweet me through out the day to remind me to do these things that would be great!  Thanks!

Five Question Friday

Yay for Mama M's Five Question Friday!  I didn't get to do it last week so I was starting to have withdrawals.  So here are Belli's answers to this weeks questions!

1.  What is your guilty pleasure?
My blankey.  Although I shouldn't really feel guilty about it. 

2.  What is your favorite TV series?
Sesame Street.  Duh!

3.  Can you speak any foreign languages?
I can sing in an Asian language that my mommy has yet to decipher.

4.  How many pairs of shoes to you own?
Two.  My tennis shoes that I wear with my AFO's.  They look sort of like this.  And my brown Pedipeds.

5.  What is your favorite kind of M&M?
A plain blue one.  They make my mouth blue =-)

That's it!  If you want to play along make sure you head on over to Mama M's blog and link up!

Cheeky

I really love this word, cheeky.  It sounds so British and formal.  And it was the only other word I could think of to use in place of the original title of this post.  I'll give you a hint.  It starts with smart and ends with a word that rhymes with brass.  I didn't think that would really be appropriate.  And I love the word cheeky.  So I used it.  And the cheeky person I am referring to is none other than the subject of this blog.  The one and only Belli.

For those of you who don't know Belli she can be a bit...cheeky.  Always has to have the last word.  Always has to be right.  I wonder where she got that from?  Not me...surely.

So those of you who I am not Facebook friends with have not had the honor of hearing Belli's latest cheeky moment.

Last week while at The Bell Center one of the teachers was trying to show Belli that three snow balls made a snowman.  So she put one snowball down and Belli told her it was one snowball.  She put another snowball down and Belli told her there were two snowballs.  She put another snowball down and Belli told her there were three snowballs.  The teacher told her she was right and asked her what you got when you put three snowballs together trying to get her to say a snowman.  Belli looked at her for a few seconds and said, "Uh...a big snowball."  Duh!

And she's only 2 and a half.  Just imagine what she might be like as a teenager.  Bless my soul.

Also today, I asked Belli where her noggin was.  She told me it was in the living room.  I asked her to go find it for me.  So she went in the living room and looked around for a while.  I kept asking her where it was and after she couldn't find it in the living room she told me, "Oh, it must be in the dining room."
