I think I like Sesame Street more now than when I was a kid. Mr. Rogers too!

Very cute!
My Canadian brother-in-law used to date her. He says she was a little crazy.

Her name is Feist and she invented the iPod nano.

I was disappointed that the Count himself didn't show up at the end. Ah ha ha ha.

I never knew "chickens just back from the shore" could be so groovy.

I saw this about a month ago. Feist is my celebrity crush, and this only cemented that.

I was introduced to Feist by you in this post. A while ago, I converted it to an MP3 and recently burned it to a CD. Then we just read your Christmas card. We miss you too. We look forward to seeing you again.

Another taboo topic: money

I don't have a lot of real visible or artistic talents, but one talent that has served me well is an ability to manage and organize money well. A few of my sisters-in-law have asked me how I do the family budget, so this is a straight up accounting of how I do the accounting. When we get a paycheck: 10% tithing right off the top Then, with the remainder (net minus tithing), I divy it up into percentages and put money into different "funds" -- that I keep track of in the back of my paycheck because I'm old school like that.

Some of the unique things that make my mom my mom: She loves my children absolutely, which is a joy and a comfort to me. When she is around, they prefer her to me. She would rather be with her grandchildren than out with the adults, but does not relax when they are around. It's constant counting heads, making snowcones, taking off too-warm clothing, changing diapers, getting drinks. It's exhausting, and she's good at it. And she loves it. (I'm pretty sure.) She hates flying, but flies all over the place, because travel and culture and enriching experiences and seeing family trump her fears every time. She also hates bridges. And swimming. And confrontation. And cooking. And bad grammar. And dopey people. And a...
