I just realized I haven’t done one of these in a while…
1. Thank goodness for Netflix instant movies. They saved my sanity this weekend as I had to spend the weekend knocked out by the flu.
2. I might be the last person on earth to discover the Kieslowski gem, The double Life of Veronique. Every frame was visual poetry, beautifully done. It was so inspiring, it made me want to go out and shoot some slide film so I can have them cross-processed. Sure, the cross-processed look can be achieved digitally, but there’s just something about film…
3. Kealoha has been singing God bless America a lot, recently. Except her version goes like this:
” From the mountains to the prairies, to the oceans white with PHO!”
4. We tried to correct her and tell her that last word is foam, but she would not be budged. Our kids do love pho. When Keilah was two, she used to say she smelled good because she smelled like pho. Oy!
5. Anyone else love North and South? I won’t admit how many times I’ve watched the ending. Sigh. Is it any wonder I’m a wedding photographer? I’m a hopeless sap!
6. I’m loving the Dinner Tonight videos at myrecipes.com. The recipes are easy enough with accessible ingredients. Great for non-cooks like me.
7. I’ve been thinking of taking tae kwon do except I’m so uncoordinated, I might just embarrass myself. My college friends – who have visions of me bumping into everyone else at an aerobics class way back when – are dying laughing right now. 
8. I took the girls to see Madagascar today. Here’s how the kids convinced their dad to let us go without him:
11:24 AM me: can wy see madgasgro2?
11:25 AM David: is wy supposed to be we?
madagascar 2
You mean right now? Without me?
11:26 AM I heard it was better than the first one.
11:28 AM me: yes madugasgro thank you daddyy
David: madagascar
11:31 AM me: please, daddy. can we see it? we’ll tellyou all about it afterwards.
11:33 AM David: what time is the movie?

11:35 AM David: so you guys are going to drop me off after lunch then right?
11:39 AM me: yes

David: I love you too!
11:45 AM me: yes i did

9. Thank you to the heroes who fought and continue to fight for our freedoms. God bless America, indeed!
10. I will be posting photos here again soon. I need to get editing.
Hope all is well with you all!
