Mommy Medicine
Here's the thing-anyone that only considers the romantic side of motherhood should really think about the lifetime commitment we (women!) make when we decide to be GOOD mothers. Case in point-I had to drop everything today and rush to pick Amanda up from school, because she was diagnosed with pneumonia. To say that I was terrified doesn't cover it. I was so upset that my angel was sick, I ran out of the house with barely enough money to pay the toll! I'm just happy she's home for the next few days. There's nothing like Mommy love to cure what ails you...at any age.
I remember the first 2 times I was in labor...I wanted my Mom! Of course, by the third pregnancy I was smart enough to have her in the room with me, and she even got to cut Marina's umbilical cord.

A Victory for the Vamps
I am a huge fan of Vampire movies. I have always been fascinated by the different ways that they can be represented, and the mysticism surrounding them. Having just seen 30 Days of Night, I have to say that I am excited! It's been a very long time since I've seen a Vampire movie that has actually given me a jolt, and this one had me jumping and squeezing M's hand as tight as he could stand. I don't want to ruin the movie for future viewers, so I am not going to divulge any details, save this one-the ending is anything but corny. Overall, I count this flick as a victory for the vamps. I just hope that the powers that be don't decide to make a sequel.

Civil Liberty?
Is it okay to tie a noose around a tree to suggest that you would like to hang someone? NO Is it okay to use your civil rights to torment people, and remind them that they will always be the victims of white folks? NO
I'm no lawyer, but it seems to me that there is a very big gap in the information being communicated, and the gap is simply this: what about the agitator? What responsibility does he bear? What consequence is he expected to pay for his actions? Oh wait, I forgot-he's white, in a racist state currently undergoing the biggest demographic whitewash in history. What was I thinking?
Forget Waldo...where's JUSTIN BARKER<

My Sister the Video Vixen
So, many of you know that my sister works at Universal Music as a marketing rep (that's how I get all the new music!). Her colleague Sergio has broaden his horizons to production, and invited S to be in his new music video. Check it out...she's the tall one with the light hair and the red dress...

It's the small things...
For years I have lived with a sub-standard, crappy dining table and mismatched chairs. After daydreaming about how nice it might be to own a completely new, matching, un-masticated (see below) dining room set, my time has finally arrived. Now I can actually have guests and offer them a nice place to sit, sip coffee, or just chat. Who knew that purchasing the dinette set of your dreams could be so exciting?
I used to have a beautiful wooden table with matching chairs, about 8 years ago. I also has 2 Rots at the time. Although they were the sweetest dogs ever, they loved the taste of wood. Once that dinette was destroyed, I settled for one of those cheap, $100 dollar metal/wire tables, with the green matching chairs. The chairs fell apart one by one. Enough said.
