I gave my kindergarteners foam stickers (thanks to Phil) and asked them to "label" them (typically they try to label their picture stories by writing the first sound they hear). Most of them did a good job!

OK, slight disappointment today: It was my first Election Day ever in a real voting booth, and I was uber excited (because I am a nerd). But I thought it would be awkward to take photos of the voting booth with a real camera, so I used my cell phone camera instead. But for some reason, only the first (and definitely least attractive) photo came out. Oh well -- it was still a thrilling experience, made even more so by the abundance of elderly Jewish female volunteers with lipstick on their teeth!

Here's where I was standing for six hours or so during the New York City Marathon. The streets were empty when I took this picture, but they soon filled up with world-class runners like Paula Radcliffe, Catherine Ndereba and Tegla Loroupe just inches from me! Thrilling bonus: Lance Armstrong! If you look closely at the TV broadcast of the marathon, you can see Phil and me cheering the women on.

My baby cousin Tyler is already popular with the ladies. Here he is blowing a kiss goodbye to a girl at another table while his daddy looks on.

I bought new monkey slippers at Target. They improved my life 1000%.

I don't like ravioli...but apparently I like pumpkin ravioli! Especially when it's cooked for me by Julia and Marissa.
