I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

About Me

My photo
After experiencing the loss of child and one pregnancy complication after another, my family is now complete. I am the mother of three beautiful children and one angel-Aria, my first punk rock girl. I resigned from a government job to raise my beautiful children. I love to bake and discovered that I have a talent. All cakes are made from scratch using the freshest ingredients possible. No box cakes or just add extract to powder for me.

Ha Irt Irt Die

Athena says, "Ha Irt Irt Die" 
Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss
Thing 1 and Thing 2

You ask, "Who is that?"
They're a Seussical pair
From the Cat in the Hat

They come out of a box,
Thing 1 and Thing 2.
They do not say much,
Just "How do you do?"

They make mischief & mayhem
with "bumps, jumps, and kicks"
They like to fly kites
and do lots of bad tricks.

They destroy the whole house
while running about
as the fish in the dish yells
"You must get them out!"

Till at last, mom is seen
at the end of the day.
And the Cat packs them up
and takes them away.



Have I mentioned that we call the girls thing 1 and thing 2. C corrects me and says, no they are 3 and 4.  He and Aria are 1 and 2. At times, Thena really looks like Cindy Lou Who.

Lxa learned that she can make different sounds when there is food in her mouth so guess what? yep, she is spitting it everywhere!  It is rather funny but messy. Ms. Thena continues to toss food to the dog and needs a bath after every meal. I can spend the whole day cleaning and after one meal- it is a mess again. In the name of efficiency, I think that I should only clean 1x per day after dinner!

My short ribs simmering in chocolate stout smell splendid!!  I hope they taste as fantastic as they smell.
As I was searing the meat, it occurred to me that I ate short ribs at some french place in Manhattan a few weeks ago. They were that good! Lunch was at 12 and accompanied by a lovely wine pairing. Foofy-foo. From there, we skipped and hopped in true Nikki fashion!

I begin each day humming a happy tune. This morning it is Dee-Lite: Say Ahhh.  "the hippy spliffy made you lick your lippy" There is no rhyme or reason to my madness but it sure makes for a fun day.
