Cirque du Stoneridge

Hi everyone - Here's Brenna singing "This is Me" by Demi Lovato last evening at her school's talent show. I admire her courage to get up in front of both her school Wednesday and the parents on Thursday night. She made the triplets, Mom MD, Grandpa G, Grammy K, and Grandma J so proud!

BTW - She confessed to ordering "Steel Magnolias" - so she's watching it this afternoon (she's home sick today)....OH, unfortunately for her, but very fortunate for me, the audio isn't working (probably due to widespread scratches on the DVD - gotta wonder how they get there?).....so consequently she's now watching in silence using subtitles. Yes, I'm being merciful...they're in English.

Questions to ponder while wondering why it took so long for the FDA to track and control this Salmonella outbreak (Mom Md and I ONLY ate 6 PB Clif Bars and the kids at 4 PB ZBARS), what kind of irresponsible medical party would allow eight embryos to be implanted back into a women who already has six kids under 7?? eight embryos, that's absolutely nuts!

Steel Magnolias in my queue???

   Ok, I need to know, who the heck  put "Steel Magnolias" at the top of my queue? 

This is absolutely one of the cruelest tricks you can play on a guy.  I intentionally moved "Hancock" to the top just the other day as I wanted to play it on my new Blu-Ray this weekend.  Now I'm stuck as Netflix has already sent me THAT e-mail stating "for Thursday" here comes a smooshy gooshy chick flick.....so let's list the suspects....

Bren - Most likely - She occasionally taps into my Netflix account to search new DVDs and likes to add such hits as the "Cheetah Girls" and "HS Musical Uno, Dos and Tres."  The fact that she chose a grown-up movie makes it less likely, but perhaps she heard about this "movie" from an older female friend or relative.

Mom MD - Slightly less likely - She rarely goes into my queue, but I know she likes this type of movie.  After I rented "Leatherheads" and "The House Bunny" I suppose she has good cause to question my choice of flicks.

Both - Possible - I can't rule this out.  Once in awhile, they do talk and agree on something.

A triplet - Not possible - The little ones don't know how to use the computer.

Reinventing  Dad - Uh, NO way, Impossible - not even in my weakest hour.

I wanted to point out to the person or persons responsible for this outrageous act that I have "Mamma Mia" and "Vicky Christina Barcelona" in the queue (& near the top I might add).  I also did sit and watch the Hallmark made-for-TV movie "Loving Leah" last Sunday even though I know I could have found something more educational on the Science or History Channels!

So this is a house mystery like the case of the broken Pottery Barn clock a few years back (no ONE confessed). This time, however, I believe with fewer suspects, we will know the truth real soon - I'll let you know.

Taylor the Latte Boy

Let's take a break from my daily ramblings, order a hot beverage, sit down in a comfortable chair and relax to a tender performance sung by Kristin Chenoweth dedicated to "Taylor the Latte Boy." I first heard this poem/song performed in a cruise talent show by a young lady who did a fantastic job....Click on the link below...Enjoy.
