Asher and I went to the Elizabeth Mitchell Concert at Celebrate Brooklyn last week and we listened to her 1st CD about 3 times all the way through today. Its really great kids music. Mellow but fun. Not annoying. The only problem is that the songs always get stuck in my head. I get the worst earworm and Matthew and I tend to pass it back and forth for days.
(Don’t anyone sing lyrics from RENT! those are the worst)
me: I cannot get the “John the Rabbit” song out of my head
Matthew: Has it become a mighty habit
me: ha, yes
Matthew: yes, WHAT?
listen
Oh John the rabbit, yes ma’am
Had a mighty habit, yes ma’am
Of jumping in my garden, yes ma’am
My sweet potatoes, yes ma’am
My fresh tomatoes, yes ma’am
And if I live, yes ma’am
To see next fall, yes ma’am
I ain’t gonna have, yes ma’am
No garden at all. NO ma’am!
me, fast forwarding some boring performance by the gypsy kings
matthew: Hey! what are you doing! that’s the only part of the show I like!
me: the ONLY part?
matthew: of the results show, yes.
Friends, if you make your family members watch dancing with the stars week after week even the most reluctant haters will eventually give in to the goodness of the derek hough hip shake.
(Isn’t he amazing? If you don’t know what I’m talking about watch this, you won’t regret it)
If you come from my part of Brooklyn, which is to say the part I grew up in and not necessarily the part I live in now, you will of course recognize Anthony Weiner’s name. He has been around forever, or at least as long as I can remember. Being that he is only 45 its sort of amazing. I almost can’t believe he is where he is today. And that is ripping this Gentleman from New Jersey a new one on behalf of healthcare.
Can you believe the Olympics are over? Its such a let down after all these days of excitement. I kept thinking “I wish the olympics were always on!” but who has the time?? I stayed up way too late every night and went to work with an olympic hangover. Plus our TV must be so relieved. That thing got a work out this month! We barely turn the TV on normally, and then we are watching 5hrs a day? Its kind of nice that I won’t feel the pressure to watch, but also sad. I know you know what I’m feelin.
The olympics were even a bit more exciting this year, being in Matthew’s hometown. Not to mention his dad and a whole bunch of our friends were working there so the emails, tweets, status updates and phone calls really kept us in the loop.
Asher supported his brothers and sisters from the north by showing his Canadian pride at mealtimes
We’re grooming him for a life in sports, obviously.
OWN THE PODIUM! or the bumbo. Whatever.
On another note
Due to my lameness in posting I decided to challenge myself and do another round of NaBloPoMo. If you remember November, it means I have to post every day for the month of March. This is going to be super scary and intense because I am going onsite on Friday and will be working 16hr days all of next week. In another country. Hopefully I can write up some posts in advance!
Expect to be seeing some flashback photos from the past 10 weeks – I definitely slacked on a bunch of cute moments. I can’t wait to share them with you.
