Muppet Mania!

Ok, so if you know me ( and if your reading this you must ) then you probably know that this post is WAY over due. I have posted about everything that we have been into since I began this blog. I mean, there's a post in there for Ducktales, Doctor Who, and (I think, but I'm too lazy to look ) even Spongebob. Take a look at the theme of this blog for goodness sake! The whole thing is a tribute to Herbie ( whom I still adore, but our separation has become too painful to talk about ;) So it's only fair that should take a moment to tell you ( as always, as if you cared ) about my family and the Muppets. Of course, the Muppets aren't just some new thing that we suddenly stumbled upon and were captivated with, I have loved them since I was a child, just like all my sisters, and as far as I know, my parents too. So why the Muppet craze all of a sudden? Huh, dunno. I think it started when we found "Muppets Take Manhattan" on Netflix instant watch. Which inspired us to rent "The Muppet Movie" which inspired me to buy "The Great Muppet Caper" which inspired Mom to rent us "The Muppet Show". Not to mention, "Muppet's From Space", "Muppet's Treasure Island", and even "The Muppets go to the Movies" a lost TV special only released once on VHS in 1981 ( in case you haven't noticed, let me clarify the fact that I am a nerd! ). My little sisters love them as much as I do, and I am still trying to get them to stop asking for me to put on "Muppet Babies" like I did that once when I was babysitting. Note to self; the 80's can mess up anything and I don't think it get's any more messed up than "Muppet Babies". Naomi can name all the Muppets ( and I mean all of them, from Kermit to Scooter to Beauregard, and that's more than any of you folks know!) Esther loves "Fraggle Rock" and has told me matter-of-factly that she is going to marry Fozzie, Gonzo and Wembley. Anyway, I think it's about time I came clean and admitted that I have enjoyed this phase just as much as everyone else has, and if you wanna make me really happy, ( and let me know you read this all the way through ) leave a comment and tell me who your favorite Muppet is! Feel the nerd-love!

Nothing in Particular...

I hate that. "What?" That title. It is the most obnoxious thing ever. I'm sure we've all been on Face book at one point to be utterly annoyed when your friends post there status as "Nothing in particular..." Agghh! I hate that! So let me get this straight, nothing at all has happened to you in the last twenty-four hours? Nothing?"Well, duh, that's not what people mean when they write that. They mean nothing of interest has happened to them." Oh, well in that case, allow me to offer you a suggestion...DON'T WRITE ANYTHING IN THE BLANK SPACE!!! Now I'm gonna stop. I never meant to drag the point on for so long. I have been meaning to get back on here and start blogging again ( here is where the reader roles his/her eyes, mutters "like we've never heard that before." ) Unfortunately, though I love the life I am currently enjoying with my wonderful family- it holds little interest to the average reader. I could mix things up a little and tell you that we were all captured by samurais, I escaped, shipwrecked, and am now writing this with my last bit of cell phone battery...but that would be lying, and to quote Charlie and The Chocolate Factory- its "Frowned upon by most cultures." ( yes I'm weird, random movie-nerd! I enjoy it thoroughly!" So I guess I'll just have to tell you that we ( meaning Mom ) have planted a garden which is growing nicely, I have an interview with David Byrd tomorrow about Foundations Collegium ( yes, I know, What? I'm still wondering the same thing ;) and we have a new momma cat and four adorable kittens. Today is also the birthday of my wonderful, not-so-little-anymore cousin Erin! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I am now working on two books instead of one. "Pursuer of the North" is still coming (slowly) along and I am writing a little short story for my sisters (it involves the Muppets, hold on to your hats!) P.S. Only for my sisters to see!! Better go, I have sleep to get...not. Nighty-night!
