Who knew blogging and emailing were such a huge part of my daily routine. I certainly was not aware. It has all become excruciatingly clear, however, since I have not had Internet access for the past week and a half. We thought that we were making a great financial decision by getting rid of the land line- nobody ever calls our house anyway... but with that went our Internet- DUH. I did not put the two together because our Internet was wireless. Well.... Here I sit at Panera using the free wi-fi as I wait for the UPS savior to arrive with my wireless router card from AT&T. So... till we blog/email again... I'm missing you.
... AND Happy New Year!

The Empire Strikes Back... The MUSICAL
HILARIOUS is all I can say about this event. Saturday I took Eli to the "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back- The Musical". It was in Huntington Beach & put on by a group called the ARTS & Performance Conservatory. The cast & orchestra was made up of middle school aged & younger children who transformed the story of the movie with altered versions of songs from theatre classics like Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, and Cats. The song lyrics... I wish I had copies of those... they were so funny! Eli & I sat in the front row... me trying not to laugh too loud... and him mesmerized by the kids and the costumes. He said he wants to be in plays & sing songs on stage too. Any tips on how to make that happen... I have no idea how to pursue the children's theatre thing (aside from being a patron).
During intermission there were adults who belong to a Star Wars fan club (yes, they exist & they mean business) on site to take pictures with the kids and show off their fancy Star Wars themed car. I know... it's funny. I had a hard time taking them seriously, but they were so nice to kids. Eli was most excited about getting a photo with Master Yoda, R2D2, and that "Darth Vader" remembered fighting him Disneyland. I had to give the guy a wink and a high 5 for that one!
This young actress had the coolest R2D2 costume. I am totally going to attempt to make one for Eli.
This fan club is called the Rebel Legion. They even have their own trading cards... yes, I'm serious. To each his own, I guess(:

Thanksgiving Dinner
YEAHHHH! I made the Thanksgiving meal this year... and ... it was good. Thank God!! After two days of cooking and re-heating to make sure everything was as good as I could make it- dinner was served! I watched my grandma's face throughout the whole meal to know if the food was actually good or if they were hiding bits of food in their napkins. In the end, I feel badly for not thanking my Mom, grandma, and mother-in-law for all of the time they spent making our holiday meals over the years. I had no idea... and I love you!
The kids- my true critics- wanted no part of the dinner & opted for macaroni. They're funny!
