Day

I bought a new sweater this week and I've been wearing it pretty much everyday. It is comfortable and red. Today Kayte approached me and whispered, "Do you know that by wearing red on a Friday you are supporting the war and George Bush?".

No, I didn't know this. I thought I was sporting the colors of my tough gang, the Bloods.

Actually, I thought the color-coding thing went out of style or practice a long time ago. I guess I was wrong. I remember that kids used to color-code the laces on their Doc Marten shoes, too.

Anyway. It was dumb.


The kids and I went to Disney on Ice last night and saw The Jungle Book, Tarzan, and the Lion King. The Jungle Book and Lion King weren't all the great but Tarzan was rad (and did I mention he was effing hot?). They did alot of trapeze-type moves with Tarzan (clad in ice skates) climbing up a rope (vine) and wrapping the rope around his legs in a way such that he could hang upside down and fling Jane all over the place upside down hovering about 10 feet above the ground.

Yeah... pictures will follow if any of them actually came out. They seemed to be mostly blurry. I really want a faster camera.

My mom has gotten herself a new apartment and my grandfather flew out here from Illinois and is helping her get everything packed and whatnot. I'm going out there for dinner tonight which is always a sort of awkward thing after you haven't seen a family member in a long time. I wish that I had something going on in my life that they would be proud of and that I could say, "hey look, I did this..." but I don't.

I haven't gotten my kids anything for a costume yet for Halloween and the finances are looking super tight. Hopefully they can be creative. Lhiannan wants to be a devil and Aislin seems to want to be a butterfly. I think I am going to be a mom. On Monday I am supposed to come to work in costume - the theme is The Wizard of Oz and I am supposed to somehow be a tornado...

Time to leave work... :)
