Monday Musings...More or Less

Happy Monday to you! (I'm having a tough time coming up with catchy titles for these musings. Ah, well. It stretches the gray cells.)

No new 24 tonight. Sigh. That means no wings either. Only 7 1/2 months to go... How will we live without our weekly dose of Jack? Sigh.

Remember the Muppet Show? We introduced our kids to it last year when we bought Season 1 for them for Christmas. They LOVE it -- who could resist the silliness of this ingenious show? We're listening to a CD of "Muppet Hits" as I type this. Stuart found out that Season 2 is coming out this August! Can you guess who's excited?

We're at the "end stage" of our school year. Everything is wrapping up for the summer.

The new video I put on the sidebar player is in honor of Emily's last dance class. She finishes her 7th year of dancing this evening with her dress rehearsal. Her recital is next Sunday. We always look forward to seeing it since it gives us an appreciation for how far she's come. She was definitely born to dance. Emily is 4 1/2 in this recital photo.

Imagine having two homes when you're married... Says something about personalities, huh? I told Stuart maybe we should look into buying one. I mean, it's a "steal" at $1.3 million (or whatever it is).

Plus, maybe we'd see Kiefer at the closing? I'm sure he'd be nicer/more polite than the multi-millionaire man we bought our current house from.

More on that another time...
