Mojavi - I agree! Goofy Girl needs a pedicure. Average Jane got me hooked a few years back on this great place on the Plaza - they do a great $25 pedicure.

Goofy Girl - My mom used to make snide comments about my step-mom, also!! Ironic, considering my step-mom is simply one of the sweetest, kindest persons I know. Luckily, I was smart enough to realize my mom was just jealous that my dad found happiness.

I am impressed with your 40 things! I may do this, also.

I just stumbled across your blog as I was looking up the movie Callejon De Los Mila which we were also charged $3.99 for by Time Warner Cable. Hmm...

I'm also a mom in Kansas City and my favorite cold desert is a frozen custard with raspberries and hot fudge! I found your site very interesting and humorous. If you think Oak Park Mall is slow you should check out Metro North -- very sad.
