What is Love? (according to kids....)
‘When my grandmother got arthritis , she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time , even when his hands got arthritis too. That’s love..’
Rebecca- age 8
‘When someone loves you , the way they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is safe in their mouth..’
Billy - age 4
‘Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.’
Karl - age 5
‘Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.’
Chrissy - age 6
‘Love is what makes you smile when you’re tired.’
Terri - age 4
‘Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him , to make sure the taste is OK.’
Danny - age 7
‘Love is when you kiss all the time.. Then when you get tired of kissing , you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that.
They look gross when they kiss’

‘Love is what’s in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents
and listen.’

He was the only one doing that. I wasn’t scared anymore.’

Lauren - age 4
‘When you love somebody , your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.’ (what an image)
Karen - age 7
‘Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn’t think it’s gross.’
Mark - age 6
‘You really shouldn’t say ‘I love you’ unless you mean it. But if you mean it , you should say it a lot. People forget..’
Jessica - age 8
Before the invention of toilet paper, French royals used fine linen to wipe.
Whoa…that’s pretty nice.

Last night, I attended SoundCtrl’s panel for Social Media week, entitled “Social Media Currency”. ?uestlove was there which I think was the major pull for most of the audience. The coolest part was that i took place in the dearly departed Tower Records space on Lower Broadway. I left the panel before they got to the ‘meat’ of the discussion, but basically I came away with…I’m glad I’m a blogger.
Meatless Mondays
I just got my weekly GOOP newsletter , (by Gwyneth Paltrow) and this week’s actually intrigued me. Gwyneth was suggesting a Meat Free Monday. I’m not much of a meat-eater to begin with, but I force myself to eat it because of nutrition.
I think I’m going to give Meat Free Monday’s a go…..
Here’s the Meatless Monday’s website to help with recipes.

Daydream - Beach Fossils
**Good little jam to end the day**
My bff made me this necklace as a belated birthday present, and today is the first day I’m rocking it….It’s a Tibetan horn with a bird on the front (she knows about my obsession with red cardinals)) and a Scorpion on the back….and the BEST part….one of the balls is a locket…..
I just scored these awesome Jimmy Choo for H&M booties at my favorite online store, Ebay….for a very reasonable price.
Snakeskin boots a la my fashion icon (well, one of them)
I’m obsessed with “Pants on the Ground”…….
this isn’t the original, but I love how it was easily and quickly turned into a hip-hop song. In fact, Riot in Paris quoted it at their show on Friday night.
Rock and roll should, in theory, be cool. And trying to be cool is the ultimate cool-killer. They roll everything out, they kill all the mystique.
