First of all:
Thanks to all of the men and women who’ve done a great service to the country by serving in the armed forces. My father in law, Richard Hicks, and my little brother Dominic Caselli come to mind especially.
To them, and anyone else who has served, Happy Memorial Day, and Thank you.

Now, in other news: Williamston Theatre Project is moving along nicely! We’ve got a schedule of readings and small performances that will soon be finalized and publicized at williamstontheatre.org, check them out next week! (I’ll let you know, don’t worry!)

Has anyone heard of Despair.com? Oh my God, hilarious. Please go check it out. Lots of “De-motivational” sayings, material. It’s like the OPPOSITE of an inspirational pep-talk!! (A sample of the wisdom found on the site: Dreams are like rainbows. Only idiots chase them.
As much as I love a nice motivational quote now and then, this site is completely the antidote for an overdose of pep. Very fun.

Lastly, what a great weekend. So much family time and productive WTP time mixed, hooray!
A quick laugh:
We took the kids to see Will Ferrell in Kicking and Screaming (don’t bother, by the way.) Backstory: it’s about a soccer dad who goes overboard with the competition thing and then (SHOCK) comes to his senses at the end for a ‘yay’ ending. So, because he does so much bad stuff thru the movie, he apologizes to the soccer team at the end, and talks about how he went astray.
So, in the car on the way home, being good parents, we say: “Okay you guys, did we learn any lessons from this movie?”
Maggie says, in her sweetest voice; “Yeah. Don’t learn stuff from your dad.”
*sigh*
After Jeanne stopped laughing I gave up and said “Yes, exactly. Mommy will now explain the other lessons in the movie.”
Thank you Will Ferrell.

SO, how was YOUR weekend?
That’s my girl!!!!! Witty and sarcastic at the ripe old age of 7.
Don’t encourage her! I’m gonna have a hard enough time when she becomes a teen-ager as it is!
Oh no…I’m going to have to start her in training…I was going to wait a few years but she already got a jump on me.
Lesson 1: You are a princess
Lesson 2: Make sure everyone knows it
Lesson 3: Sarcasm is everything
