fine films

With one exception, I would NEVER watch ANY of these movies Matt had me hunt for at Blockbuster.

Midsummer Night's Dream

Besides being some of the best three words strung together (that and Forest Pansy Redbud) and being the first play I participated in that I can remember in the 3rd grade (I was "Queen Titania" and the cutest boy named Carlos Privet was my "Bottom").... Midsummer Nights Dream is also great because Emmett's class put on a production of their own! Emmett and Isaiah both play "Bottom" and they are hilarious! I didn't want to miss the show because of Matt's surgery so I got to sneak peek a rehearsal on Tuesday. I just loved it! Nana got to see it last night! Beautiful job 3rd graders!

Emmett (in donkey head) as Bottom!

Spoon Fed

Interesting memoir by a NY Times food critic about the influential women in her life and the food they cook. Lots of good recipes in it ...if you ignore the ones with body parts...(teehee)
The author lives with her wife and daughter in Park Slope Brooklyn and moved there for the food co-op!! (Sheesh Cam, who doesn't live in Park Slope?!!)

Need I Say More...

Foot chop

As my brother Craig so kindly reminds me, tomorrow I am gettting the FOOT CHOP! Also known as a bunionectomy.

Love your Mother.

Someone asked me today if I went to Earth Day and I said I couldn't stand Earth Day because everyone just trashes the park and all sorts of corporate sponsors are there...and serious "greenwashing" goes on and everyone should just be cleaning up the place...and, of course, everyday should be Earth Day.
So there.
Then I went home and watched some of the PBS documentary on Earth Day and the environmental movement.
I am humbled and will stop adding any negativity to this important day.


It is true that every mother needs a special day...as well as help in the clean-up!
