10 Things in Random Order

1. Clearly, my family. I really hope they know.
2. Individually, Emma True. Not only that she is brilliant, funny, kind, beautiful, perfect (she'll grow out of that whiny thing, right?) etc, but also that I haven't screwed her up... yet.
3. Gordon. You could not pick a more perfect family man out of a catalog. The best.
4. My friends. OK, I know it sounds trite now, but really!
5. My job. Even with the occasional blind-side, I really really like what I do.
6. Funny. It's what I love about my kid, my husband, my job and pretty much everything else.
7. My camera. It's fun, it helps me remember the important stuff and has changed the way I look out at stuff.
8. Everyone is happy and healthy. This is pretty cliche, but I really mean it.
9. This break, and that there's another one soon. I know, I know! But wowza, it is time to recharge!
10. All y'all. Have a great holiday and remember everything good in your lives!

Pippa Lonstocks

So Trueby doesn't quite know what it's called, but she had a great time! We got to see META's production of Pippi Longstocking today with Sarah and Lauren. It was fun, we really liked it. The girls were amped to sit up in the balcony and we had good seats. I think Emma especially liked it. I had the kid who played Mr. Nilssen the monkey in kindergarten three years ago. He was so great! Emma kept saying, "There's the monkey!" every time he came on. At the end, we went into the lobby and I thought she'd take a picture with him. Absolutely not. Totally scared of the makeup. Sarah got in there though. Way to go, Logan!

On a totally unrelated note, I saw this driving to school in the morning. I don't know why I think it's so awesome. Maybe because I picture some little old man coming out one morning and his tree's over. "Damn it!" Heh heh, beavers are funny.
