Happy Monday afternoon -- evening? -- to you! I haven't had much of a chance to sit down and muse today. It's been one of those busy, crazy, manic Mondays. But we all have those, right?Can you believe it's the middle of September already? I can't. We're starting our third week of school. And so far the kids are seemingly enjoying it. I've decided to play the "tortoise" instead of the "hare" this year. Slow and steady does win the race...or finish school, whatever the case may be.
Season 3 of Prison Break premiers tonight. Stuart and I are excited as the finale of Season 2 left us on a "wild note," as my oldest sister said when they finished watching it last week. It does indeed. A bit of a full circle storyline. Hmmm... Should be very interesting tonight. And reading through the latest issue of TV Guide, many of our favorite shows begin new seasons this week...with the exception of our very, very, very favorite-most which will start in January. But it's worth the wait!
Speaking of 24, Kiefer didn't win the Emmy last night. *sniff!* But he did look extremely dapper when he presented the award for best lead actor in a mini-series. Still, he's been nominated every year since the show began over 6 years ago. That has to be an accomplishment in and of itself. I'm not a huge fan of awards shows, but I make an exception for the Emmys. Stuart (who's not a fan of these shows either) watched a bit of it with me, and we both agreed that last night's show was very...stilted. Oh, well. The worst part came when they gave...Al Gore an award. Ugh! I nearly turned it off. But the one and only award I was interested in hadn't been announced yet. What a quandary.
Our Edward had his first "football match" yesterday. He enjoyed it so much, and it was such fun to watch, though we had to temper our cheering and loosen the grip on our chairs as we did so. It was so...exciting!! We definitely saw a different side of him, as he put his "all" into the game (something he would never have considered doing a year ago). We left the game in which his team, the Blasters, lost 4-2, and he said, "I can't wait until tomorrow. We have another practice already!" Maybe he was born to play this sport?
Speaking of Edward, he and Stuart went out to see the "Tons of Trucks" show up the road from us. They had "tons" of fun -- enjoy the pun -- especially because it wasn't overcrowded. Edward sat in every truck (see one example above) and even got to peer out the top of a military truck. Emily and I enjoyed some "girl time" at Barnes & Noble. We bought some "coffees" and took our writing books to chisel out some more adventures for our "Jacks." (Her "Jack" is Jack Rabbit, a Lagomorph Area government super agent sent to find and arrest Marbun to bring him to justice. You gotta love the imagination! We sure do.)
I'll save the "5 Things to Be Happy About" for tomorrow...and bid you adieu.
My brain and my fingers are weary...we're off to soccer. *smile*

Did you notice that Al Gore had no competition for his Emmy? That way he could win. In a way, I'm kind of glad he won. If he hadn't, we would have had to endure six months of vote recounts.
Hmmm...hadn't thought about that! ROFLOLOLOLOLOL!! :o)
