So Boring

I used a bad word in my title.  My kids would flip if they read it …  Nevertheless, it’s true.  Because I post very few photos of my children on this blog, I find it utterly boring.  But that could be the appeal for you friends and family who are sick to death of my children.  ‘Nuf said.

So, here’s a photo of the cakes the kids and I made on Election Night.

My husband was, of course, on call … so we schlepped over to another resident family’s house to eat tasty treats and watch the states roll in.  Incredibly, we were popping open the champagne by 9:15pm!

And not that you really need a photo of me looking puffy and soft and aged and weathered, but there you have it.  Thank the heavens my husband loves me despite my appearance!
Notice the necklaces?—————————————————>
One is an Obama ‘08 necklace I’ve been wearing since July.  It was a gift for my almost 83-year-old grandmother, (who supported Obama!) but she doesn’t wear much outside of her cross.  Gotta pick your important jewelry, I suppose!    
And the kid to the left is my youngest daughter.  That’s all you get to see.

Activities on the 31st

I really do have children, I just choose not to post their pictures on this site.  I don’t have pictures to share with you of my 20 month-old zebra, my 5 year-old vampire, or my almost-8 year-old mummy.  What I do have is a photo of how my mom and I spent our Halloween night after my kids begged for candy … (my husband was, of course, on call …)

This is absolutely one of my top 5 movies I would require on an island all on my lonesome:

I got started early this year … and if all goes well on Tuesday, I’ll put up our Christmas tree on the 5th in celebration of PRESIDENT OBAMA!!
Anyone else have celebratory plans for this week?!  Do share …

Two Things I Believe In

Okay, so the grammar-freak in me KNOWS that my title is wrong.  It should read “Two Things In Which I Believe” … but whatever.

Gotta share this with you tonight.

I believe in the power of the theatre.  Especially musicals.  Actually, just one musical in particular.  If you know me well, you know that my all-time favorite musical is — HANDS DOWN — Les Misérables.  No question.  And I’ve seen me some theatre.  Don’t get me wrong … Phantom, Miss Saigon, Rent, Chess, West Side Story … I recognize the overwhelming beauty in their musical compositions.  But I’m off-point. 

I believe in Barack Obama.

Put the two together and you have this uplifting piece of work to get you through the next 28 days:
