So, it's been awhile. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around, you might miss it. (Ferris Bueller) So, let me stop and ponder the newest happenings.
Full-time job, mom, and now--starting a master's program. Spent half the weekend in class but got out earlier than planned. Thank God for small favors. Although I have to say that it was a good class. I think I'm going to like the program.
Big week for us as a collective population, huh? I cracked up at the closing prayer with the different sayings about some of the different races--I loved "when brown can stick around" and "the red man can get ahead, man" along with the others that I can't quite remember what was the exact quote. Probably mostly because that was an old dude and I didn't expect to hear such lighthearted things to come from him. Bet he's a pretty funny guy if he feels cool enough to say such things in front of millions of people. Totally endearing.
Seriously glad I have a DVR. Last night, I was torn between two fabulous pop culture events--the Neighborhood Ball and American Idol. I could talk a while about the beauty and joy of the DVR. Why would anyone want to watch TV in real time anymore? It's like air conditioning--sure, you don't need it for survival but let's not take any chances.
Anyhoo, Idol was classic as always and the Ball was pretty good too. Here' s a question: was Beyoncé nipping out or was it just the way the darts were sewn into her dress? At first, I said darts but my husband pointed (ha) out that it looked like the points had dark round circles. Hunh. I could see that, I suppose. I probably should just go on some gossip sites and see what they said because I'm sure I wasn't the only one who noticed. Plus, as the spouse observed, they didn't show a lot of full body shots of her--just the face. Scared cameramen/producers perhaps? Don't want another wardrobe malfunction. Either way, it was a pretty dress and Beyoncé always looks fabulous.
