Bravenet is evil and I'm tempted to switch over to Blogger, but it requires an effort I'm not willing to extend at the moment, but don't be surprised if some day you find I've moved on.

#1 is 16 today.  It's hard to believe that a child of mine is that old.  I was obviously a VERY young mother.  I'm also a very bad mother, since it wasn't until this afternoon when I was writing the date on a deposit slip at the bank that I realized that I forgot to make him a carrot cake for his birthday.  I dashed across the street to the grocery store and picked up a chocolate cheesecake instead, but he was disappointed that I didn't make him the carrot cake.  I make a killer carrot cake.

The kids enjoyed their first day of school...as much as you can enjoy school, that is.  I discovered why WE took chorus for the 2nd year in a row.  I always kind of wondered, since he doesn't really seem to be a chorus kind of kid.  But today he told me the boy to girl ratio is 1:6, so now it's all starting to make sense.  He likes the odds in his favor.

And, for your viewing enjoyment, I give you the link to Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog:  http://www.hulu.com/dr-horribles-sing-along-blog

You need the right kind of sense of humor to enjoy this (a bizarre one works best).  #2 and I both busted a gut laughing and have now started quoting lines from it.  Those of you with a normal, mainstream sense of humor might just want to skip the whole link and watch something like Arrested Development or old episodes of Cheers or something.
