Squee!

Cranford is on the spring lineup of Masterpiece Theatre! I read it last year when looking for books by Elizabeth Gaskell after seeing Wives and Daughters (which I still want to read).

Why?

  • Why am I so excited about the return of American Gladiators?
  • Why does Extreme Home Makeover make me get dust in my eyes*?
  • Why did it take months for me (and other parents) to realize that the new school playground equipment was finished? Seriously, it’s a climbing ball that has some modern art wtf qualities.
  • Why is it 80 degrees one day and 40 the next?
  • Why am I just as excited as the kids that we got High School Musical 2 from Netflix?
  • Why am I mad that my friend had the great idea to get the kids a magazine subscription for Christmas? I wish I had thought of that for her kids!
  • Why did I really wish I lived abroad after watching Sicko? I know a lot of negative things about living in other countries like France were glossed over, but hey, my dad, aunt, and several half siblings live in Paris, built in babysitting is a plus! :-P
  • Why is DD like a little ghost at night -floating from room to room and turning lights on and off?
  • Why did JcPenney send me 2 $10 off a $10 purchase coupons after I spent $10 on a new top? (Worn in the pic below)
  • Why am I surprised by how much I like Eat, Pray, Love?

*almost cry

This week…

I taught ZB how to ride his bike without training wheels!

I have more clean laundry than dirty!

I wanted to give Anna a hug, and I am not a hugger.

I wished I had a serger.

I started watching Season 6 of the Sopranos.

I encouraged my salsa (I hope!)

I wished I could afford to put Bebe in preschool. :-/

I read fairy tales everyday…to myself! (I love fairy tales.)

I found Strictly Ballroom at the library and checked it out. (Reesie!)

I did not try to keep up with my google reader and instead, marked all as read. :-D

What did you do this week?

Oh, how I love PBS…

Mark Morris and Mozart? Yay! And Live from Lincoln Center, too? I spent so much time in that area when I danced since the Ailey School was right behind Lincoln Center. I loved reading as much then as I do now and so spent a ton of time at the performing arts library and the ballet bookshop, too. And also? I miss ballet so much. Hearing the live piano and seeing the performing? I’m crying a little inside. OK, sadly, it’s almost over, so let me get back to it!

Heroes fans…report!

  • Am I the only one who thinks that Linderman is probably the Petrelli boys’ (real) father?
  • And also? What is Mama Petrelli’s power?
  • Would someone just kill Sylar already?
  • Why are the only two black Heroes (so far) an ex con and a nameless man?
  • Don’t you feel bad for Hiro having to be the one to do the deed?
  • When will Suresh realize that he’s not really working for the good guys?
  • Don’t you think Nathan should fly more often? It’s just so cool to see!
  • As for Niki/Jessica…ok, so she has super strength…and a personality disorder?
  • And what is her son’s power exactly? (I should read the Heroes wiki)
  • Molly Walker’s power reminds me of Professor X in the X-men movie where he put on that helmet and could see everyone on the planet, heh.
  • K, now tawk amongst yaselves.
