A Blog Entry

Yay! Yay! Yay! Booth and Bones finally kissed. Quite satisfactory.




Here is a pic of Aubrey in the Bahamas, where she went on a week-long field trip with the Academy of Science sophomores. She is the one second to right, in the white t-shirt and sunglasses. She doesn't know I am posting this picture and would probably have a fit if she knew, but she saved this pic on my work laptop, so we'll say it's her fault. She doesn't read my blog, so what she don't know, don't hurt her. She had so much fun that she can't shut up about it. Lots and lots of snorkeling and good stories. My favorite is when they followed around a five foot shark for a while. It is downright joyful to this parent to see her able to have such an experience, and to witness the outright happiness it gave her.

Rebekah and me on our way to the opera Don Giovani by Mozart, at the Kennedy Center Opera House. It was a fantastic experience for all. Let's do it again.

• At Thanksgiving we (but Aubrey was in Bahamas for Thanksgiving) were having our feast and naming what we were thankful for. Rebekah's list: her bird, her cat, and mitochondria.
• I was swigging water the other day when Rebekah said, "Why are you drinking that water, when you're just going to pee it right back out again?"
• Miss Lexi farted the other day. Christa asked her, "What was that?" Her response: "That was my bum talking. It's speaking Spanish."
• Black Friday is the busiest day of the year for retailers. It is also the busiest day of the year for plumbers.
• I am crushed. I screamed. Sweeney Todd is going to be rated R. I might as well descend into the fiery pits of hell, so extreme is my distress, suffering, pain, sorrow, anguish, agony, grief, misery, upset, torment, and irritation.
