I love you Denny Duqette

I do, I do, I really do! I mean, how could I not?:

But..... I think its time you rest in peace. Seriously. Then your loveliness can be free to haunt me from some other shows or movies. I mean, we all saw Ghost in 1990, and if we felt the need to see this:

again, we could just log straight on in to Netflix....

What I'm not ready to let rest in peace on Grey's is DoctorMajor Hunk, I mean Hunt! I know some aren't feeling him, but all of that pent up rage every now and again unleashed on Yang in the form of ravenous kissing.... Mmmmmmmm..... Now if we could only put him in a Lucius Vorenus toga!

History

There is nothing I can say today that hasn't already been more eloquently stated by someone else, but there was no better feeling than finally falling asleep last night with the assurance that all our daunting challenges have been passed on to the right hands, the comfort that my daughter's future is that much more secure, and the anticipation of reading about this huge moment with future grandchildren in their school textbooks.

Change we can believe in people!

I feel it my duty...

..to memorialize my cousin Cassidy's pumpkin artisty for Halloween!

Ready for Wicked?

Leila and I had our first musical theater adventure last Sunday. We invited Emily and Henry to join us for "Busy Town", based on the Richard Scarry books I still love as a 34 year old, at Imagination Stage in Bethesda. The outing was more of a success than I imagined it could be. Leila sat silent perched at the edge of her seat and turned back to smile at me periodically. I think Emily and I were just amused by how over the top prissy/whiny the actor playing Huckle cat was and we exchanged many eyerolls throughout. But for a kids' production, it was fun. I'd much rather go to shows like this that draw on the imagination and classic books than something like Doodlebops Live....

Hee Hee

You want to know why I don't have time to blog much anymore? I do nutty things like schedule myself for 2 doctors appointments and a flu shot on the Columbus Day holiday. Plus there's that hour + of daily exercise I have to squeeze in at either 5a.m. or 9p.m. to demonstrate my commitment to Cesar's crazy P90X fitness program. I think I'm now 21 days into my 90, but could be off a day or two either way. Anyway... this is not in the least bit interesting reading, but I'm still here and will one day get back on track!

Out of the mouths of babes...

As I'm getting my act together to get Leila in bed at the start of the VP debate last night, she says:

"I like the way Sarah Palin (which comes out Pay-yin, b/c her 'l's, particularly double 'll's often come out 'y's) talks."

Me (incredulously): "REALLY?!"

3 year old Leila: "Yes, she sounds silly."

Me: "BWAH HAH HA... indeed she does sweetie, indeed she does..."
