Spring-Like

It's gorgeous and spring-like today. The gym was sooo crowded. Pro basketball player Tony Parker was a guest on Regis and Kelly this morning. He's married to Eva Longoria. His father is an African-American basketball player and his mom is a blonde Dutch born model. Tony grew up in Paris. He came across very naturally, boyish and soft-spoken. He told Regis he got to know Eva by inviting both her and her dad to dinner the night he met them. Cute.

K went to school, although he's a bit sick with a virus. I think the worst is over. L is taking a make-up test after school, one that she missed when she was sick last week. M is going to Italy for a week on a business trip towards the end of the month. He doesn't travel often, but who wouldn't mind going to Italy?

March break holidays are coming up and I heard there are lots of good travel deals. A lot of people seem to be going to the Mayan Riviera in Mexico. ($1000 all-inclusive packages).

Hi Christine,
Let's all stowaway and meet outside the Vatican.

Sounds like you are getting some of the wonderful weather that we are having. Yesterday was 65 degrees. Today will be another 65, and tomorrow will reach somewhere around 75. Thanks for pasting it this way Christine! :D
By the way I know exactly what you mean about the sick kids going to school. Last week I sent my youngest son to school and he threw-up three times when he got off the bus. Needless to say he was alright that very afternoon.

Paris, Italy sounds like just what you need haha.

Julie, it's a small world, isn't it? We'll shake winter off soon enough!

Lilly, it would be too disruptive for the kids' schedule this time of year for us both to sneak off! Now if it was to Paris, I'd really feel short-changed.

Barbara, you even have a plan! Haha.

Bibi, it's true, kids can be so sick one moment, then all of a sudden they're better.

That is a cute story! And a very proper first date :-) I wonder if Eva's father would ask her how it was going "with that nice boy"?

Hope you all stay healthy for the rest of the cold season. It's such a bummer to be sick when the weather starts getting nice.

Hope your sweetie brings you something nice from Italy :-)

Japra, as it turns out, Eva's dad decided not to attend that first date!
