The Easy Way Out…
16 Mar
Why bother shopping around for a much-needed new duvet for your daughter’s room…
When you can hint to your mother that Maya could really use a new bedroom ensemble for her birthday?
Why bother stressing out over homemade cupcakes for Maya’s classroom birthday celebration…
When you can hop over to Trader Joe’s and purchase 3 boxes of ice cream sandwiches instead?
Why bother taking Maya to the park…
When you can sit comfortably while watching her and three of her friends force Ali to pull them around and around the school yard on a wagon? (Side note – Ali asked me if that counted as his exercise for the day).
Why bother cooking up a requested birthday dinner consisting of plain pasta with butter and parmesan cheese…
When you can battle the Hollywood traffic for thirty minutes, struggle to find un-validated parking in an insanely busy lot, and get the exact same thing at Pasta Pomodoro instead?
Why bother ordering a the Polenta Farcita appetizer…
When you know is going to be dripping in delicious ”brown butter?” (This is obviously a rhetorical question).
Why bother to order the Verdure - an average dish of roasted brussels sprouts, mushrooms, zucchini, asparagus, and broccoli with spicy pomodoro sauce for $8.50…
When you could have easily made this dish much better yourself? (I’m still trying to figure out the answer to this one).
Why bother letting Maya overload on ice cream twice in one day…
When you know she is going to be bouncing off the walls from a sugar high? (Because it’s her birthday and once in a while you stop being uptight enough to give in).
I think we are all birthday’d out…on to new topics tomorrow!
