I'm Just Saying

Two Scoops of Christmas

2008-11-30T16:39:16Z

The Happy Elf is playing at First Stage Children's Theater, on Saturday afternoon I attended the show with my husband and daughter. WE LOVED IT! The music and lyrics are by Harry Connick Jr., bringing a jazzy and bluesy feel to the show. We fell in love with Eubie and all of the elves. The show is playing through December 18th, and First Stage's website provided the following synopsis:

There's no such thing as an unhappy elf, so when Eubie finds himself in Bluesville, his elf-ness is put to the test as he is determined to make the naughty town smile in time for Christmas. Eubie's enthusiasm will not be denied as he embarks on his quest to raise a Christmas Tree in the Town Square. This heart-warming holiday musical from Harry Connick, Jr. warmly captures the joy of the season.

The Happy Elf (a holiday special in cartoon) will also be playing on NBC on December 2nd, according to www.thehappyelf.com. Of course, I still recommend seeing the theater performance, of all the First Stage shows I've seen, this was by far the best show.

Wine Odyssey: D, E & F

2008-11-24T14:30:59Z

I know it's been a while since I updated, but I am still on my alphabetical wine odyssey. Here were my choices for D, E and F, again, all three wines were purchased from Sendik's in Brookfield. I'm pretty sure the people in the wine department think that I am crazy, yet they still offer suggestions based on the next letter in the alphabet.

Dogajolo Dry Red Table Wine, 2006, Tuscany, Italy. I didn't write down the price, but it's most likely between the $15-20 range. Don't be afraid of an Italian red table wine, they are some of the best wines you'll find. This was a red blend of 80% sangiovese and 20% cabernet sauvignon. I am trying to stay away from wines that I've had before, but it wasn't until I got it home that I realized that I'd had this wine. It was a dark ruby color; I could smell floral and fruity; the taste was dry, which is what you'll get with a sangiovese and a cabernet. Overall, it was okay, I felt it was young and could have shelved it a year or two.

Ethos, 2005, from Chateau Ste. Michelle in Columbia Valley, Washington, $33.99. Cabernet Sauvignon. The color was a dark garnet with heavy legs; nose was jammy; taste was velvety and spicy; the finish was excellent with good tannins. This was probably my favorite so far, Chateau Ste. Michelle has never disappointed me with their wines.

Felsina Chianti Classico, 2001, Italy, $19.99. Sangiovese. The color was a deep burgandy; nose was light. Honestly, I was not impressed with this wine. My overall impression was that this vintage was past its prime.

I do have a bonus wine to share as well, each summer this pinot noir is released and for the past three years I've bought a bottle. It is Sea Smoke Southing, 2006, from Sea Smoke Cellars in Santa Barabara Co., California. $55. The color was garnet; nose was light with slight scents of spice; the taste was silky and cherry; the finish was smooth. Overall it was a great pinot noir, however, I think the 2004 vintage was much better. If you love pinot, be on the lookout for the next release of Sea Smoke around June and July. Don't hesitate, if you think you'll want it then buy it -- it sells out every year.

Five Second Rule

2008-11-19T14:33:17Z

Does the five second rule count if you drop a piece of toast on the floor? What if it’s got butter and honey on it and it lands face down? In a house where three people, two dogs and two cats live? And what if you haven’t washed the floor in two weeks?

Don’t worry, I didn’t think it counted either. I tossed the toast — but I really had to think about it first.

Photo Hunt Revealed: Majestic

2008-11-12T16:00:00Z

The location of the latest photo hunt was the Majestic Cinema in Brookfield. Have you been there? It's my very most favorite Marcus theatre to see a movie in.

Photo Hunt: Waukesha County

2008-11-10T20:09:07Z

Do you know the location in Waukesha County where this photo was taken?

To play either leave a comment with your guess (note: I'll hold all correct comments in moderation as to not spoil the fun), send me an email to kimberly.laczniak@gmail.com, or just play along at home. I'll reveal the location on Wednesday.

Art: Mixing with the Masters

2008-11-07T15:52:00Z

I have a busy weekend ahead of me. First up is my daughter’s monthly art class, Mixing with the Masters, at the Milwaukee Art Museum. The parents stay with the kids, so really, it’s an art class for the two of us. The artist we are learning about this month is Joan Miro. I’ve never heard of him, but here is one of his drawings, isn’t it interesting?

The King’s Jester, by Joan Miro

Last month we learned about Mark Rothko. I’m sure you’ve seen his paintings. They are HUGE and look like something anyone could do. I’ve always walked past those types of paintings at the art museum — but it was because I did not understand them. Rothko used color to bring out emotion, and everyone relates emotions to color differently. Here is one of his paintings from the Milwaukee Art Museum:

Green, Red, Blue, by Mark Rothko

Sometimes the parents get to paint or draw their own art too. Want to keep me happy? Hand me some watercolors and an endless supply of watercolor paper. During the last class I painted this. It looks better in person, and I took the photo using my cellphone, but I’m still rather pleased with it.

Some of my daughter's artwork from the classes have turned out fabulous! Here is one of my favorites, again the photo really doesn’t do it justice.

The Candy Necklace Story

2008-11-02T14:34:53Z

When I was a little girl I took ballet lessons, and right across the street from ballet was a candy store. One day, after ballet, my mom took me to the candy store. I can’t remember what all I got, but I do remember the candy necklace. She told me to put it in my dresser drawer and NOT to tell my little brother about it.

The next day I went to school, came home, and went straight to the hiding place of my candy necklace. What was there? The necklace string and ONE PIECE OF CANDY! I ran to my mom with my candy necklace in my hand and the next thing you know, my little brother is claiming that she told him that he could have ALL BUT ONE PIECE, and she’s saying that she told him he could have JUST ONE PIECE.

Oh the drama.

This weekend he redeemed himself and gave me a candy bracelet, A FULL CANDY BRACELET. WITH A CHARM TOO! Okay, so it’s not a necklace, but I’ll take it. It’s only taken him 30-some years to pay up.

My daughter found the candy bracelet sitting next to my computer and she was all FINDERS KEEPERS! IT’S MINE!! I had to snatch it from her hands because she obviously did not know the Candy Necklace Story. After I told her, she began negotiations with me to share the candy bracelet. SHARE IT? Oh no way my dear. Did you not listen to the story of how I shared the necklace? I sent my brother a text message to let him know about about negotiations and he replied that he’d give her one on Monday.

She was fine with that, but added, “Mom, if it’s accidentally a candy necklace, you can have it.” She's such a sweetheart.

What a Web

2008-10-28T03:16:00Z

Saturday afternoon my family and I attended the matinee performance of Charlotte's Web at First Stage Children's Theater. The cast that performed was The Radiant cast, and they were amazing! I particularly liked the lamb, and Templeton the rat, oh and the goose too! I would highly recommend this play, which runs through November 16th. There were plenty of open seats, both on the main floor and in the balcony -- I'm sure that you could walk up and purchase last minute tickets if you wished.

The actual web is amazing! The set designers really out did themselves. There was a picture of it in the Journal last week, but it really did not do it's beauty any justice.

Ding Dong -- Ditch

2008-10-26T18:20:24Z

Help me out please, I need your advice. As a parent of a seven year old whom, in my opinion, is growing into a very nice young lady, I'm having issues with one of the friends from the neighborhood that my daughter plays with on a fairly regular basis. I won't go into all of the details, nor all of the examples of poor friendship this girl has portrayed, but yesterday, around 4:30 p.m., I believe this friend crossed the line.

Here's what happened. My daughter was practicing her violin, I was in the kitchen, and my husband was in the family room reading a book. The chair where he was sitting is right in the middle of our front window, where he has the vantage point of seeing the driveway and the front door. The neighbor friend, and another girl, walked up to the front door, rang the doorbell, then turned and ran! He shot up from the chair, ran outside, and the girls were already a yard away standing on the corner.

He yelled to them, "What did you want?"

The neighbor friend replied, "To see if Zoe could play."

However, my husband is no dummy, and retorted, "Why did you ring the doorbell and then run? It's not polite."

I don't know what her response was, but she didn't come back, and my husband did not invite her back either.

This girl is pushing my buttons, and more than that, she's reaching the limits of what I'm willing to put up with in a playmate for my daughter. Now, I'm no goody two shoes, however, I have learned from my mistakes. I realize exactly where the route I was going down in my school years took a drastic turn in a different direction. I know which girl pulled me away from my friends and before you know it, DIFFERENT PATH. I don't want this for my kid, specifically today, I don't want her to think that it's ever okay to ring someone's doorbell and then run off. Where does it go from there? Egging homes? Toilet paper in the trees? Grafitti on the driveway?

What do you think? Harmless fun, or not very good behavior for a "friend"? What would you do if your child's usual playmate rang your doorbell and then ran?

Mario Galaxy & American Girl Dolls

2008-10-23T13:42:36Z

The American Girl Doll catalog has arrived at my house, and you might remember what Zoe did to the catalog last year.

You can imagine my concern when she asked me for the black Sharpie marker, right?

“Are you going to draw mustaches and beards on the dolls again?” I asked her.

“Noooooooo.” She told me, while blushing behind the pages of the catalog. “I’m going to circle the things that I want.”

I found her a marker and she started circling the dolls, the cute dresses, and a lot of dogs, cats, and other animals that the dolls now have available.

When Zoe turned six, we took her to the American Girl Doll store in Chicago and let her pick out a doll. She chose Nicki. How often does she play with Nicki? NOT OFTEN ENOUGH. So I felt it was my obligation as a mom to point out to her that she doesn’t even play with Nicki very much. To which she replied, “That’s because I don’t have any time.”

Oh really? Please, do go on….

“I have to go to school, do my homework, watch dad play Mario Galaxy, go to swimming, blah blah blah….”

She didn’t really say blah, blah, blah …. but I was stuck on WATCH DAD PLAY MARIO GALAXY and I lost focus on whatever else she was too busy doing to play with the doll for whom she was circling things for in the catalog.

Her father has been playing Mario Galaxy for weeks now! When I get home from work, the two of them are in the Green Room (that’s what we call our office/computer/game room). He’s flailing the wii-mote all over the place as Mario runs around on the screen, while she sits on the love seat and cheers him on. How many freaking levels are there to Mario Galaxy? I’d sure like to know, because once that game is over it’ll free up a huge chunk of her time so that she can go back to playing with Nicki (and all of the circled catalog items, apparently).

So Long Down Comforter sniff sniff

2008-10-17T16:20:48Z

I still remember the day I realized that my husband-to-be had a down comforter. It was the winter of 1995 and I was experiencing freezing cold nights in my third floor apartment. No amount of plastic on the windows could stop the breeze from seeping through into my bedroom. I had flannel sheets, and a cat, both of which provided some warmth, but he had a down comforter, and let me tell you that was exactly what was missing from my life.

I had always wanted a down comforter, but they only came in white, and my mother wouldn’t allow it due to the fact that it was white. Now, I could have easily bought a duvet to cover it, but you know, I just don’t think they were widely available in the late 80’s and early 90’s. And, I didn’t know about them either. A du-what?

I’ve established that Zoe is allergic to feathers, and I’ve removed all of the feathers from her bedroom, and the rest of the house. However, there’s a big ruffled problem in my room — and that’s the down comforter and let me count, SEVEN feather pillows on my bed. Four of them are mine, three are my husband’s, and quite honestly, he could live with just two. But I need all four.

Anyhow, I obviously need to get rid of them. I’ve only really replaced one or two pillows at a time, allowing the appropriate ‘breaking in’ period that my body needs to get used to sleeping with a different pillow. Now I’ve got to replace every single one of them!

And my comforter too! This’ll be hard as it represents our love story. Sure, it’s not the original comforter — that’s sealed up in a storage bag and placed up high in my closet — but it represents the warmth he brought to my life, and the warmth that I brought his.

Getting rid of our blankie, oh this is going to be struggle.

Allergies

2008-10-12T17:05:30Z

My daughter, Zoe, was tested for allergies this week, she’s allergic to: mites, trees (pollen), molds, and feathers. We didn’t have her tested for any food allergies, there’s only so much room on a kids back for testing. Yesterday I spent my entire afternoon cleaning and de-allergy-ing her bedroom. I’m still working on the rest of the house.

I had allergy testing done four years ago to see what was causing me to break out in hives. We determined that I’m allergic to Aleve, and I haven’t touched it since. However, I’m also highly allergic to raspberries and shrimp, which I don’t even like and don’t eat, but four years later that is what I’m still quoting as my allergies. Aleve, raspberries, shrimp. But, after Zoe’s testing it was recommended that perhaps I should pull out my testing sheet and see what else there was.

Okay. Here is my list: cats (CATS!!), grass (lovely), molds, hops, rice (RICE!!), navy beans, string beans, waxed beans, broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce (WHAT? people can be allergic to lettuce??), onion, coconut (KILL ME NOW!), hazelnut (does that include hazelnut coffee?), pork, whole eggs (if it’s in cake does that count?), allspice, cloves, cantaloupe/muskmelon, crab, and scallops.

It didn’t help that when were at the allergist I was one day into being diagnosed with bronchitis. The nurse was pretty clear with me that bronchitis is what comes after ignoring all of the HEY YOU ARE HAVING ALLERGY SYMPTOMS YOU IDIOT signs.

Really? I guess I never put the two together. Sinus and chest congestion = signs of allergies. I always waited until I was breaking out in hives, AND THEN it meant HEY! ALLERGIES!!! Only then would I take a Benadryl, Allegra, or Pepcid AC and wait to see if my face was going to swell.

Of course, my cat sleeps on my pillow, there is grass all around me outside, and we throw open the windows when it’s nice out, letting all of the pollens in the house. It looks like I have to allergy proof my own bedroom too.

A Giggly Good Time

2008-10-05T16:20:36Z

This year we have season tickets to First Stage Children's Theater. We attended our first performance yesterday afternoon, Giggle, Giggle Quack. In a word, it was fantastic! If you are a fan of the Duck and Farmer Brown series by Doreen Cronin, you'll surely enjoy it as well. If you haven't read any of Cronin's Duck books (Duck for President and Click, Clack, Moo, Cows That Type to name a couple), you are missing out on the mischievous barn animals and their note writing abilities. The play was adapted by James E. Grote, with music and lyrics by George Howe.

Imagine back to when you were a kid, left in the care of a babysitter, and all the wild things you'd convince your sitter that it was okay to do. Ice cream and popcorn before bed? YES! Staying up late to watch television? Of course! My parents always let me!

Farmer Brown goes on vacation and leaves Duck, Hen, Pig, and Cow with his brother Bob. Bob, who is from the city, is extremely guillable and not only does he order pizza for the animals, he also hands out electric blankets to them. One morning Duck forgot to change the note that Farmer Brown left and the animals race across the barn yard in slow motion while the theme to Chariots of Fire plays. Will they get to the note in time? You'll have to see for yourself, the play runs through October 19th and my family highly recommends it.

Teavana vs. Sunflower Seed Cookies

2008-10-01T01:40:00Z

Okay, so I went a little bit overboard on Saturday at Teavana. I was out of my beloved Honeybush Vanilla tea, and was getting dangerously low on the Mate Vana/Rooibos Chai blend. How would I begin my day without it? And that German Rock Sugar, well I needed a refill on that too. I resisted the urge to buy a Perfect Tea maker to keep at work, because I thought my husband would have a cow, but I splurged and bought three tin canisters in order to keep my tea fresh. Oh, and I then I bought a cup of Spice Nut Mate tea, because well, I really needed some caffeine.

I brought all my tea (and canisters) home, lined them up on the counter, and watched my husband do an eye roll. He knew this day was coming, the day that I needed the tin canisters. They really do keep the tea fresher than the bags. Honestly.

So that afternoon we went to Whole Foods. I had a coupon for a free Seventh Generation laundry product -- ANY product. I wanted the big huge bottle of detergent, and I knew Whole Foods had the jumbo size. We love going to Whole Foods, one of the reasons being the free samples they have out. Zoe loves the Cheese Curls, my husband loves it all, and I love the bakery. When I told them we were going to Whole Foods my husband immediately piped up that he was getting a bag of the sunflower seed cookies. I admit, they are really really good, and I was hoping there'd be samples.

We get to Whole Foods, everyone goes off in their own direction, and the next thing I know they are both coming at me with armfuls of Cheese Curls (Zoe), Grace's Best sunflower seed cookies and beer (my husband). I counted all the bags they were stuffing into the cart, and seriously, it looked like we were hosting a party. Beer, cheese curls, and cookies. I gave him an eye roll, and he says to me: "They are two for $5."

Oh whatever, how can I argue two for $5? I can't. A little bit later we passed the cookie stand. $5.49 EACH. Not two for $5. I kinda cleared my throat, "Oh hello, they aren't two for $5." Then I made him put one back.

Tonight he was rummaging around in the snack closet, stuffing handful after handful of sunflower cookies into his mouth. Then he says, "I can't believe you made me put one of those bags back. All that tea over there (and then he pointed at the tea canister section on the counter top), that was waaaaay more than $5."

I Believe In Signs

2008-09-24T03:04:00Z

I believe in signs.

For instance, whenever I see someone make a Florida U-turn I know that it’s a sign from my grandpa, who died in 2003, he taught me what a Florida U-turn was. Another sign was when I was at the grocery store on the anniversary of the day that he died and I was paying for my groceries with my debit card when a penny shot out of the change machine right in front of me. It took me a whole day to figure it out, but the coincidence that a penny dropped out of nowhere on the death anniversary of a grandpa who collected his pennies for me (and my brother) was, to me, definitely a sign.

And then there is the sign from my other grandpa, Leonard. He died in 2002, and since then I get mail addressed to him … at my house. Yes. Mail. And he didn’t even live with me. It all started about a month after he died, and its been arriving a few times a year ever since. I’m not getting personal letters or anything, in fact some might call it junk mail. However I call it a sign.

So then onto yesterday.

It was my husband’s grandma’s funeral. Twelve years ago, when we were first married, she took us to a chicken dinner at her church. She made a huge deal out of it, and it really meant a lot to her, this chicken dinner. I’ll never forget it, it was mostly because of the music. I’m pretty sure there was a strolling accordion player playing a polka. A POLKA — and for some reason I thought that was just hilarious. Anyhow, there we are, at the funeral, which was at the church of the chicken dinner.

At first I sat in a pew on the far left, then I moved to the middle second row, and finally I decided to save the third row for my husband, his brothers, and his nephews, who were all pallbearers. I was sitting on the far lefthand side of the pew, and you’d think that the men could have come in from the right, but they didn’t. As a result, my husband and his family made me scoot all the way down to the other side of the pew.

I noticed right away that there was a bulletin in the book rack in front of us. It was from Sunday, September 21st, and I thought it was odd that it was there because it was Monday, September 22nd, and usually someone goes through the pews and removes anything that doesn’t belong there — like old bulletins. You only get a bulletin on your way out of church, not before. Anyhow, at one point, most likely to take my mind off of the funeral, I decided to flip through the bulletin. It was hard to miss the blue sheet of paper folded inside of it, and my husband noticed what it said before I did: Chicken Dinner & Raffle, Polka Mass, October 5th.

And there you have it. A sign. But for who? Him? Me? Us? My husband wasn’t too convinced at first, until he searched through all of the pews after the service to confirm what I already knew: we had the only bulletin left in the pews. The pew that wasn’t our first choice, second choice, but third choice. And if the guys would have filed into the pew the way I imagined they would, my husband’s nephew would have sat there, and it would have meant absolutely nothing to him. Instead, we are left with a sign.

Wine Odyssey: ABC

2008-09-19T01:35:20Z

I love to shop for wine, and I was looking for a way to make choosing a wine more fun, and somewhat challenging. What did I come up with? It may sound rather silly, but I decided that I was going to go straight through the alphabet, starting with A and ending with Z.

I'll be sharing my wine choices with you as I go, and I'm going to begin with A, B, and C. All three wines were purchased from Sendik's in Brookfield.

A to Z Night to Day, 2004, Dundee, Oregon. $13.99. This was a red blend, and I thought the name of the wine was a perfect fit to begin my journey of buying wine in alphabetical order. The color was a dark garnet; nose was spicy; taste was very fresh and peppery; the finish was long. I had been wanting to try an A to Z wine for a long time, and I liked it a great deal. I served it with pizza and it paired well.

Ben Marco, 2006, producer is Dominio Del Plata, Mendoza, Argentina. $21.99. 90% Malbec, 10% Bonarda. The color was a dark ruby; nose was lavender; taste was spicy and lush; the finish was good. I really liked, I served it with hamburgers and chips, but I think it would have paired nicely with a steak.

Conn Creek Limited Release, 2004, Conn Creek Winery, Napa Valley, CA. $23.99. Cabernet Sauvignon. The color was a deep ruby red, no legs; nose was a light aroma, perhaps cherry; taste was very light; not a lot of tannins for a Cabernet; the finish was short but silky. My overall impression was that this was not a very robust Cabernet, it was very light, and I could have easily mistaken it for a Pinot Noir.

In the coming weeks and months I'll continue to tell you about my wine odyssey through the alphabet. Feel free to share in the comments your favorite wines, or follow my ABC wine list and compare tasting notes. I will warn you though, most of them will be red wines. Cheers!

Hidden Mickeys

2008-09-11T22:42:03Z

That's right, I'm up to my eyeballs searching for the Hidden Mickeys, down here in Disney World, specifically the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Now, before you go and get all jealous that I'm down here, and you are up there, I've got to tell you that it's raining. RAINING!

Raining. On. My. Vacation.

With thunder too.

So, isn't that lovely?

However it does leave lots of time to find the Mickeys that are hidden around my resort. We've got a sheet of paper with instructions for 15 different hidden Mickey Mouse Ear locations, and so far we've found about six of them. Some are pretty easy to locate, others are terribly hard. And the thing is that once you start looking for them, you end up calling a lot of attention to yourself. My family and I were searching the wall around the pool slide, and suddenly we had company, yet they didn't know what they were looking for.

And, you can't have four people staring up in the lobby, discussing and pointing towards the lights, without people coming over to join in.

If it doesn't stop raining soon, we'll have run out of Hidden Mickeys at our resort, and will have to move on over to the next one.

Sprinklers and Rain

2008-09-04T13:15:14Z

I remember getting up at 3 o'clock in the morning to let the dog out, and the sprinklers were busy watering my lawn. Of course, now it's raining.

Miller Park Gone Wild (or Life Outside of the Luxury Box)

2008-08-24T14:34:00Z

A few weeks ago I wrote of my experience watching the Brewers game from a luxury suite. Today, I will be writing about my experience in section 203. On Friday night we had tickets to go to the game, again with my husband's department at work, and I didn't get the tickets to see where we were sitting until we were on the way to the game. Section 203. Well, I've already admit that I don't go to the game very often so I had no clue where these seats were. My mom, who was sitting in section 437, in the upper deck, informed me that I was on the field loge level, and that I had "good seats".

She was so wrong.

As we walked around the stadium, in search of section 203, we passed homeplate, first base, and the outfield. Huh? And then we came to Section 203. The bleachers. The freaking bleachers.

Are you kidding me? I can't sit in the bleachers. I realize that coming from the luxury box the only way to go is down, but this is the bottom as far as I'm concerned.

We found row 10, and needed to get to seats 6, 7, and 8, but they were in the middle of the row and the people who were on the end offered to just scoot on down. So they scooted down, Zoe sat down first, right next to a guy in his 20's who had clearly shaved his legs. The (drunk?) girl in front of us then turned around, stroked his legs and said to my 7 yr old: YOU PROBABLY THINK HE'S A CRAZY MO-FO.

Whoa. Did she just say "mo-fo" to my child?? So I said to her: CAN WE NOT SAY MO-FO TO MY 7 YR OLD PLEASE?

I think she gave me an eyeroll, whatever.

Then a very drunk guy comes back to the row in front of us, and as he trying to get back to his seat, the (drunk) girl notices that his fly is down -- and then she reaches inside his fly and pulls out his privates. Right there in section 203, row 9.

But wait, she wasn't just about public nudity for others, she whipped out her breast for a group photo, which I think my family may have been in the background for.

My husband got security, and then we left the section, watching the game instead from section 437, chair hopping among the 20-some seats that my family was in for my grandmother's 82nd birthday celebration -- where life wasn't quite that of a luxury box, but at least everyone was properly clothed and no one used "mo-fo" in a sentence to my kid.
