- Jennifer’s post about The Two-Income Trap is excellent.
- Several of y’all have asked about my reactions to the marriage conference my hubby and I attended this past weekend. Well here you go.
- And here’s way more insight than you ever wanted or needed into my admittedly strange sense of humor: this SNL sketch has been making me laugh every single day for about three weeks.
I know. I know.
It’s hard work being a superhero, y’all.
Especially when you’re five.
All righty. We’ll try the links on the main page and see how it works. Or doesn’t work. Or whatever.
- You can still vote for your favorite contemporary inspirational artist (Casting Crowns, Mercy Me or Third Day) in the American Music Awards.
- I saw this movie yesterday and loved it so much that I may have to go back again before the week’s over. GAME ON.
I guess it’s safe to say that the whole Michael / Holly story line took quite a turn in this episode. They make me laugh and are so bizarrely perfect for each other that you know they’re just destined for TV romance failure.
I thought there were some great lines this week, even if they weren’t necessarily guffaw-worthy. A few memorable moments:
1) “No more. No more.”
“Too many times.”
2) “You’re making a knife with a knife?”
“You got a better way?”
3) “I’ll probably get soup or something light.”
4) “You’re always safe with me. I’m a very good screamer.”
5) “Instead of farms fighting against AIDS, it’s us fighting against our own poverty.”
6) “He got me.”
“Twice.”
7) “Michael gave me a list of his ten favorite Bruce Springsteen songs. Three of them were Huey Lewis & The News. One of them was Tracy Chapman ‘Fast Car.’”
8) BEST “That’s what she said” EVER.
9) But the auction totally depressed me. Might be the saddest I’ve ever been watching an episode of “The Office.” Poor Dwight.
10) And also: poor Jim.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I think I may need to go crawl under the covers for a little while. Just to recover from the SOUL-NUMBING SADNESS, you understand.
What did y’all think?
1) Haven’t forgotten about “The Office.” But we were on the road when it came on Thursday night, and I haven’t had a chance to watch it since we’ve been home. As soon as I watch it, I’ll post about it. Because better late than, well, later.
2) For the last year or so I’ve been posting to a Daily Links page. I’ve started to think that maybe it’s a waste – that I should just post the links on my main page so that feed readers and etc. will update when I do. Anybody have any thoughts? Preferences? Concerns? News for the good of the group?
3) North Carolina is beautiful.
4) This morning I made a to-do list, and the fourth item on the list was “High School Musical 3.” I’m not proud, people. I’m just a mama in her late thirties with a craving for some cheesy duets. I’m confident that HSM3 can satisfy that craving. I’m all about it.
5) Speaking of cheesy duets, this past Friday night we went to dinner with some friends who were also in North Carolina, and when I tell you that we ROCKED IT OUT to “Separate Lives” and “When She Danced” as we drove down the road in a minivan (COME ON, NOW), I am not exaggerating. There were parts. There were gestures. There would have probably been some choreography if we had been able to stand. It was glorious and one of my new favorite memories.
6) This Thursday I thought I’d put up a Mr. Linky for an impromptu-ish Souptacular / Crockpotalooza (thanks, Holly) so we can share some hearty fall recipes. Several people have emailed and asked if we could, and it’s not like I have plans, so, you know, DONE. I have no blog button to share right this second, but I’ll try to round up something by tomorrow.
7) Happy Monday, y’all!
