My Pillow

Too good not to share.

Thanksgiving 2011

Things that I am thankful for-

My Mom. Always there for me, even when I scream at her and throw carrots on a recently mopped floor.
My Lux. Always there to clean up my mess.
My Dad. He wakes up before I do most of the time. And he likes to sneak me cups of milk when Mom isn’t watching.
My Toys, especially Elmo. The Hokey Pokey, that’s what it’s all about.
My Breakfast. Blueberry, Buckwheat Berry pancakes- doesn’t matter. Yogurt- mine as well be ice cream.
My Watermelon. Always in season in Texas.
My Gymboree. There are bubbles way up high, way up high. There are bubbles way up high, way up high. There are bubbles way up high. There are bubbles in the sky. There are bubbles way up high, way up high.
My Big Teddy Bear. If I was Lawrence Taylor, the Bear is Joe Theismann. I bring the house.
My big family. Time for more sleepovers.

Back to the Future

I was watching a World Series match up featuring two teams that I do not care to mention. In the middle of the broadcast, the cameras panned to a digital board that compared prices of bread, gasoline, homes and academy award winners of 1963 to 2011. I always love it when these statistics pop up. And if my Dad were in the room sitting next to me, I would look over at him and say “really?” Well this blast to the past got me thinking…How does DG 2011 compare to DG 2001? We can save that discussion for our next couch session with Dr. Phil. Instead, let’s tackle LB 2011 vs. LB 2010.
