'Wearing my white jeans today--the ones the fashion police would have frowned on over the winter. A co-worker's wife hates him wearing brown with black. Which dress codes are worth living up to?
Ted KopulosMen: no clogs. Robert LeeWhite clothing! Stain Magnet in my case Julie HansenWhite pants and shoes only between Labor Day and Memorial Day. Jona Denz-HamiltonBut it's California! Lisa CarrThat old Labor Day rule went by the wayside loooong ago! Even top designers gave it the OK. Winter White is more tasteful though between October and February. Sandy Cunningham CaryBut wait...Oprah said white is okay anytime now...I don't get it Marianne Kohler BurkettI ? white jeans!
Is there a mother that isn't tired today? We had family stuff going on for 3 days--but we made a few restaurants happy! How did the weekend treat you?
Dee Douglasawesome!restaurants, parties, and great company! celebrated both mother's day and my fiftieth birthday :) Marsha Zanetti Kanei feel like i celebrated for a whole week! today it is weight watchers on steroids...time to get back on track... Marty Kay AndersonYa! 50 hrs.on Buses to see my son Graduate on Sat. from SIU & spend Mothers Day with him. I hadn't seen him in 5 1/2 yrs. it was worth it, but I can't wait to get home to my own bed. Jona Denz-HamiltonMarty Kay Anderson: That must have been one sweet reunion! 50 hours of bus riding? Uggggh! But the day had to be so invigorating! Marty Kay AndersonYa,I'm still teary eyed I really didn't want to leave,but I have to get back to my lil Baby Girl. I missed her too!!!
Happy Mother's Day! I sure hope you have a chance to enjoy it. It's a totally busy one for me. But it's for the best reasons--having that special maternal person to thank, a couple of offspring to admire, and the husband that made them possible! A LOTTA love to you too!

The Material Mom is in the news again. http://celebrity-gossip.net/madonna/madonna-covers-vanity-fair-italy-may-2012-626629 Madonna credits her children with making her more PATIENT and TOLERANT. Kids can have that effect on you--It may be the opposite for me! Is this finally something that makes you identify with Madge? Eléna MartinaI wonder... her kids must credit her for their foul language and terrible behavior. What an exchange. sigh. Randal J RoubalAll Kids have Foul Language Today. The thing is if you say anything to them about it they are in your face! Eléna MartinaAll kids use foul language thanks to friends. My kids aren't like that around me. Madonna talks foul to her kids what choice do they have but talk foul in return. Randal J RoubalIt's everywhere Elena, Madonna is just an easy target to rag on. I'm sure there are worse than her!
My son, Chris Hamilton baked his brother, Jeff a birthday cake yesterday, but got distracted--and mixed the topping INTO the batter. I guess you could call it a pineapple outside-in cake!!

Jona Denz-HamiltonLisa Coultrup: I got choked up the other day, driving past the park and thinking "I'll take little Jeff in his stroller to the swings today!" Momentary trip back in time...
Janie FreemanI had only been around Jona a couple of times, when the boys were little. I was amazed at how she engaged them with conversation and teaching moments. She is an wonderful mom!
Jona Denz-HamiltonJanie Freeman: ...and they soon knew MORE than me! LOL (They still ask me stuff, but now it's info I need to look up online!)

You get to Sunday and can be so wiped out. Blame it on Cinco's too much fun! Thank you for joining me at Super Slow Zone superslowzone.com/silvercreek/ for the Mother's Day party. It's always fun to meet new friends. There were free massages from Phyllis today--she makes you feel like you're melting!
From one party to another--Chevy's in Almaden. This is the destination for Cinco de Mayo--everyone was laughing and singing and--eating! I hope I meet you there next year.
Now for tomorrow--my son Jeff turns 18--SIGH! You know the feeling of milestones if you have kids--or you've just lived long enough!
It's fun when a special day lands on the weekend. I hope you like Mexican food, because Cinco de Mayo lands on a Saturday/tomorrow this year, and it's all around!
It's a funny "holiday" since it's become way less of a political thing, and now it's just a day of celebrating being part of the Californian melting pot! I hope you can join me at Chevy's Fresh Mex in Almaden Plaza for the festivities, 5 til 7pm. You can go for the jalepeno bobbing--I'm more into the tortilla tossing! See you!
Here it is, the month of May! You're supposed to be in the mood to spring clean. Some of us are more into adding to our stuff. I get a little carried away collecting treasures(?) like old clocks. It used to be cars--I learned about having enough room to display my prizes!
