Okay I'm not. But Cafe Borrone is, and I happened to work with the Oprah producers to get the photos of the sausage sandwich over to the show, so in some way I'm on Oprah. Close as I'll ever get. Meanwhile, I'm so excited about Borrone being mentioned and highlighted as James Franco's favorite place to eat and gather with his family (check the pic Oprah is showing of him with his family on OUR very own MP FOUNTAIN!). Very exciting!!!! Check out the preview here and look for James 3/4 of the way through. Go in to Borrone this week because Marina is going to run a special sausage sandwich deal all week in honor of James' favorite dish. Good thing I pre-swam off the sausage this morning: *warmup: 400 straight, then 400 done as 4x100's of one arm, other arm, kick, swim *5 x 300's with varying turn options including Uturn, double streamline, fly stroke, limited breathing *5 x 150's with varying turn options same as above!

This is a photo from last night, at a "shipwrecked" party we went to. I got to stay for an hour before I had to run home and do more testing for launch, but at least I got to dress up in island wear and there was no hangover this morning. Speaking of this morning, and the whole darn day, it could not have been better. I woke up after having slept in extremely late (6:30am), and my boys ran in to snuggle. The boys had written out cards to me; cards like I've never received from them before. They were not homemade, and I am glad. Why? Because they didn't spend time drawing flowers. Instead they spent time filling the space on the bought card with words. They told me I was the best because I snuggle, play soccer, read and skateboard. Also they were proud of my Sequence skills. These cards took a long while to write out, I know, and my day was pretty much made after I read them. As if that wasn't enough, N wrote me a card praising me for all I always hope to be prais...

Today was a really, really good workout. And I needed it, because I've been sitting and sitting and sitting lately. Why? Launch of Juice in the City is almost here (Monday!), and I've been deep in testing mode. My eyeballs are about to pop, but I think we're going to make it. AND, I've managed to include Menlo Masters in a mention within the very first feature (for Botox, a facial or laser hair removal). It's up to you to guess where you're involved. Please stay tuned for Monday - we are going to have some really fun things offered...like hip hop classes with a former Justin Timberlake dancer, massages, dinners out, wine tasting, outdoor adventure, you name it! Today's workout: *warmup: 100 free, 25 kick, 25 stroke Repeat 5x *6 x 100's descend and then hold *5 sets of 5 minute strength sets that included crunches, deck outs and swimming oh my!
