A Kid Funny

Watching a TiVoed episode of American Idol, the three of us were laughing, cringing, and feeling guilty for both while watching the auditions portion of the competition. They were recapping guest judges through the year and Sam quickly quipped, "Look, they didn't even use a real judge that time. That one's totally fake, like a mannequin or something."




Rewind, slow-mo, who could it be?






























Victoria Beckham




















We did a silent victory dance, high five, across the room with only the slightest of shared eye contact-- you know, that move perfected only by parents of middle schoolers who are constantly and eternally embarrassing.








Then we had to prove to him that, indeed, she is a real person. Well, partly. And then we I had to explain the partly.






No school tomorrow. Darren if flying out to California on business for a short jaunt. We'll miss him tons (I hate it when he travels!). Cereal for dinner!!

Out of the Mouths


Christmas cards are on their way!


I was remarking to Darren about as a younger woman, I would have never let a picture of me without makeup and with unshowered hair covered by an old baseball cap, be featured on a Christmas card. "It's a good picture," he replied.


"Yep, it is," I said, "that's a really happy place for us." It was taken at Two Island Campground at our very favorite campsite on the shore of the lake. "I'll be forty next year, I guess it's because I'm finally OK with who I am."
(I was having one of those I am Woman Here me Roar moments. Boys don't get this, but Darren is really good at faking interest.)


"Or crazy," muttered Sam.






That's my boy.
