Yes!

I was nervous about the kids' passports coming on time, but all 3 came the other day. Woohoo! In a few weeks the boys will be on that jet plane rocking their international trip. Maybe we can stamp it twice this year. Maybe.

Just Read: Seriously...I'm Kidding

Since I prefer light (and often humorous) books to fall asleep to, I thought Ellen's Seriously...I'm Kidding would be perfect. Ellen talked a lot about life, Idol, meditation, and living in the moment (all the things I love reading about).

I love Ellen but she could've kept this one. I laughed a few times, but overall she had waaay too many fillers and she rambled like no other. lol The chapters were super short (a plus) and she seems really cool, but...umm, no. lol

On a positive notes, here are some quotes:

" The thing everyone should realize is that the key to happiness is being happy by yourself and for yourself."

"The secret to life-KALE."

"I really do think it's important to let go of things and give things away, to declutter and get out from under that pile of papers and old cereal boxes and harmonicas. It's cathartic. It's freeing."

"I just wish we could hold on to that sense of wander becasue sometimes we don't notice some of he most incredible things in the world."

"I personally like being unique. I like being my own person with my own style and my own opinions and my own toothbrush. I think it's so much better to stand out in some way and to set yourself apart from the masses."

Whatever you chase will run away from you. So, stop chasing success and realize you already have it all.
