saturday sky, a hint of color
It seems I’m only capable of posting my Saturday sky bi-weekly.
Mostly, due west. (Perhaps a hair west south west…)
I spy a wee bit of color change! This summer flew past me at warp speed.
Beam me up!
Last week, I had a nice respite from all the chaos of my normal world.
We had friends in from out of town. So awesome and so fun!
The last time they stayed with us, we each were just mama’s to girls. (Although, I was absurdly preggers with Finchly & the last time i saw her son, he was a mere few weeks old.) So, it was incredibly cool to have everyone together, much laughing, screaming (out of glee and excitement!) and a few tears too, but hey, such is life with kids. (My son has a black eye from when his sister shoved him between the mattress and the box spring and proceeded to sit on him.)
The grrls
Dancing to The Muppet Movie soundtrack (yes, we have it on vinyl)
The grrls assigned us each a character. S was Piggie, Bells was Kermit, I was Fozzie (ha! woka-woka), Andrea was Janis (from the band, The Electric Mayhem, for those of you who don’t remember) and the funniest, both the boys were Animal. Haha.
It was really great to share notes as mamas of ‘one of each’; specifically notes on the younger brothers. Not to mention how great it was seeing them again. The house always seems a bit empty when they leave.
Speaking of kids and all that jazz, I have two very bored ones on my hands at the moment. My Animal is showing his displeasure with me by stabbing the furniture with some knitting needles.
Time to utilize my child labor resources and get some black berries picked.

Up until about 5 years ago I had The Muppet Show on cassette tape. But it got all stretched out and I had to get rid of it. You have no idea how hard it was to find that same ‘album’ on CD.

I have few memories from childhood.
On thing I remember:
Cranked ‘movin right along’ to eleven. Jammed around my bedroom air guitar in hand. The crowd went wild and began to chant..an..anim..animal..Animal. ANIMAL!!!
Yep that was me. Can ya believe it?
I know what you’re thinking:
Since when does Animal play guitar?
That’s ’cause the Animal I was took over the whole freakin band!

I wondered why you hadn’t posted, then I remembered that I hadn’t read LJ in a while. haha. Sucks to be dumb sometimes. I’m glad you had a good time. Woka woka. I love that the boys were both Animal haha.

Oh! I have that on vinyl too! It is still one of my all-time favorite movies. The Alamo Drafthouse in Austin showed it this summer as a sing-along! Words on the screen for the songs and everything. It was FANTASTIC!
