Lauren went to sleep upside down last night, with her feet on her pillow. I went in and turned her and covered her up with her blanket. She woke up, touched my cheek and mumbled "Oh, Mommy, thank you for put me where I go!" Part of me wants to freeze her and enjoy this perfect little phase forever, but the rest of me is really excited to see what comes next. I think that must just be part of being a parent, constantly grieving a tiny bit that everything changes so fast but always loving what they are right then.
I am on the couch or in bed almost all the time right now, hopefully I will get better soon but I am still just about as sick as I have been. Soon, right? In the meantime I am watching such great TV! I will do some reviews for you! (It's either TV reviews or I can tell you the funny story about when I threw up on the wall. Let's do TV!)
Glee- SO totally cute and fun! I hope musicals are going to be the new big thing. Bollywood has it right! Bring me cheesy song and dance numbers! Enjoy it now, because this seems like one that will be good for only a season or two. (It's not my fault that Grey's Anatomy pissed me off so much that now I have a fear of TV commitment. I only expect new show relationships to be little flings. And really, with some shows that is plenty! Remember Dexter? Oh my god, that first season was totally disturbing and genius! But one season was enough, I watched a little of season 2 and I haven't even read recaps after that! Same with Weeds, it's almost like those should have been miniseries and not long term shows. Now that I think about it, 6 Feet Under was kind of a short term thing for me too. Hmmmm. Maybe it's not them it's me!) Anyway, Glee is fun and you should watch it at least once.
True Blood- Hey Twilight? Are you listening? THIS is how you do vampires! (Well, I guess everyone is entitled their own personal preference about our thirsty friends, but dammit, I want some blood and gore and death. And I also want it to be campy and sexy. That is what bugged me about Twilight- there really should be a downside to becoming a creature of darkness. There has to be a price! Not sparkles and parties and endless money and clothes and SUNLIGHT. Good god. If a vampire offers to turn you it should be a hard choice to make! Just my old grumpy opinion. Back in my day we read Ann Rice and we LIKED IT ALL TRAGIC.) Anyway, True Blood is surprisingly good, but you should watch it on DVD so you don't have to wait out all the cliffhangers until next week. At the end of every episode someone is dead- OR ARE THEY?
Football- This may not come as a shock to you the way it did to me, but football is extremely fun to watch! I like it! I haven't just sat down to watch it in... ever? I had no idea! Sorry I am so late to the party, America! I am starting to have opinions on the different commentators and I can kind of remember who is having a good season. Maybe next year I will be ready for a fantasy team! So, I recommend football watching for everyone!
More later, I have lots and lots of opinions to share!
