Permalink [Comments] (1) American Idol:

in San Antonio. Last night's show was boring and forgettable...sounds like something Simon would say. And I didn't recognize anyone. I wasn't thinking I would but it would have been cool if I did. I think the show didn't do us justice. It isn't boring and forgettable here if you ask me.

Permalink [No comments] 50 is the new 40:

My mom turned 50 yesterday! We had a big party at her house with some of her friends that were turning 50 in Feb as well. Her friends from HS (the McColms) came into town to surprise her as well. Ben had El Chaparral cater it and the cake was from Nadler's. It was lots of fun and lots of good food.

My mom doesn't seem 50 to me yet. I think she has aged pretty well. This is one of the reasons why I love living near family. Getting together for birthdays and holidays are so fun and a privilege.

Aaron told me of something Lily did last night. She grabbed Cynthia Prestige (a friend of mom's) by the hand and told her "Come on, come in here" and took her into Lorna's room and held Cynthia's hands and jumped on Lorna's bed and squealed "hands! jumpers!". I am amazed but not surprised at her gumption to take the hands of strangers and make them apart of her life. What a crazy spirit.
