c'est mardi...
So do I just tell you what I’m thinking, list the events of my busy day, or suggest some songs? I am at a loss. It’s hard for me not to just write what I’m thinking- whether it makes sense to you or not, I just write. I have a constant narrative going in my head. “SHUT UP KAREN!” Sorry about that, anyway I will start with a re-cap of the high points of my day:
- I have received 5 letters thus far (2 today) from various (though mostly unknown) law schools commending me on my “academic record”. I am keeping the letters- even if I don’t go to law school. I may even laminate or frame them.
- My students are still well behaved. (Day 2)
- After we dropped Liam, Dylan, and Chloe off at respite, Mark, Caleb, and I had a nice (quiet) dinner together at the Chinese Super Buffet. It was wonderful.
- After dropping Caleb off at rehearsals, Mark and I went to Toy’s R Us and did a bit of X-mas shopping. Alone.
- After I finished telling Chloe a story and tucking her in, Dylan read to me- then said, “Sing!” We sang, “Twinkle twinkle little star” - then he asked for “Hey diddle diddle…” come to think of it- he likes songs that repeat words in the title. Anyway, he then asked for a hug and told me to lay down with him. I did, then I leaned in to kiss him goodnight, and he whispered, “I love you, momma.” (His words look much clearer on a screen- he still said it like Dylan, but I understood)
In other random news/thoughts…I am going to join Luke in promoting Sujan Stevens. He is someone I can always listen to- happy, angry, pensive, tired, or sad. It is always good. Here is the link. http://www.sufjan.com/ Amusez-vous bien, mes amis. Je vous embrasse.

I too wish Karen would shut up. This is not a pity post, i waited as long as i could.
I love love love those cheerleading outfits! I miss my old cheerleading days. Actually, I just miss being that flexable. And having a ligit reason to do a herky. Or an abstract jump. Or throw my arms up in unison with other girls and jump around like we're all on speed. Good times.
that's sufjan. you might like his stuff. thanks mark. it's strange how everyone waits for you to commeny 1st. gotta run

Marks the leader. I will follow him. I bow down to Mark. Oh Mark what is your wish, oh master Mark?
are you forgetting your raver days? lots of arms raised in unison- maybe not so many hurkeys...then again, i don't put it past you.
Actually, that whole time period is a bit of a blur. I remember dancing. I remember talking A LOT! I remember the need to feel everything. I'm sure there were arms jumping in unison. Maybe a herky or two. I think I even broke out my old cheerleading uniform once. Ahhhh...memories.
Those Illinoise cheerleaders aren't very hardcore at all! If Sufjan is going to keep making balls-to-the-wall grindcore then he's gotta punk his chicks up a little bit. I mean c'mon, in cheerleading, aren't those tights tantamount to a burka?
