Randomness…
February 12, 2007A few random thoughts/notes:
- There is a bulletin board at the YMCA about New Years Resolutions pertaining to fitness. Number one (the only one in bold print) is “I will not cancel my gym membership.” How sneaky.
- Brian bought new dress shoes for my corporate Gala which was this past Saturday. He complained that they were a little too shiny, a little too pointy (exact words: “they look like boats”) and a little slick on the bottom. Later that evening, the following conversation occurred:
Libby: (sniffing and looking around)”Something smells like tires, or rubber”
Brian: (grinning) “That’s my new shoes”
Both: (incessant laughter) - I am about 5 chapters into The Blogging Church and it is awesome so far. Even more awesome, the fact that the co-author admits that when asked back in 2003, he thought a blog was some kind of rare untreatable disease.
- My new workout routine allows me to watch the first half hour of the Today show, which pretty much thrills me. I have therefore been pretty well informed about the upcoming Presidential race. I haven’t formed any opinions worth publicizing (yet) but…This morning they were talking about Barack Obama, and they showed a clip of his wife talking about the fact that he is black (no, really?): “He is Black. He could get shot just crossing the street.” hmmmm…
- I am so happy for Carrie Underwood, and I love her more with each passing awards ceremony. I just wanted to share that. (While we’re talking about the Grammy’s, who is Imogen Heap and what was in her hair?)
That’s all for now.
Random fact….Barak Obama is actually not black. He is mullato, just as much white as he is black.
No random comments on how you and B are the Best Childcare providers/housekeepers around. By the way-Emi & Drew are both showing me the Hook!
Steve - Thank you, that just proves my point even more. He keeps pointing out how he grew up in a multi-racial family, but they both still refer to him as “black.” With all the controversy over him being “Not Black Enough” maybe his wife should settle a little when it comes to her anxiety that he will get shot. I’m no campaign manager, it’s just a thought.
Leah - I’m glad the hook is catching on. From what I’ve seen Brian can pretty much spread that trend like wildfire for anyone between the ages of 2 and 6. Good luck breaking that habit (and yes, Brian and I would make a killing in the maid/manny industry).
