"Introducing The Hardest Working Band In The World...."

My parents have introduced me to a lot of wonderful things: Lyle Lovett, wine, sushi and carnitas, Lake Payette and Trivial Pursuit. That is the job of a parent, to expand the horizons of their children. But last night, the tables were turned and I was able to introduce them to a movie they had never seen.

The Commitments.

I had forgotten how good it is. An Irish soul band? Classic. Great music, good story, very funny and poignant without being saccharine. I fell in love again and took my parents and husband along for the ride. Raven, this movie MUST be a part of Sprog's education, if he hasn't already seen it.

Is there something that you introduced to your parents, siblings or spouse? Tell me about it.

I introduced my Mom to the world of blogging. And I think she's itching to do it herself. Lord help us all if that happens.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Welcome to My World

It's a crazy one. Here's the guide.


Mr. Clairol: My darling husband and love of my life. He's a mechanic, dyes his hair platinum blond and drives to work on a Vespa. I swear he isn't gay.


Drama Queen: My fourteen year old daughter who is frighteningly brilliant and gorgeous to boot. Of course, I am her mother.


Missy Hoohaw: The four year old daughter. She loves animals and roughhousing and earned her name by being a 28 year old Marine in a preschooler's body. No, she doesn't swear and drink. But she can run twenty miles in the rain and give a mighty Hoo-rah.

Big Red: Our toddler son, who is redheaded and proud of it. He's got a healthy temper and the sweetest smile this side of the Mississippi, so it evens out. I was worried about defending him from his sisters at first. Now, I worry about the girls.


The Beast: Our dog, who is a mutt, heavy on the Great Dane. He's named after a heavy metal guitarist in my husband's all time favorite band. This says it all, believe me.


This is my life. Try not to be too jealous.
