does Kriss Kross make you want to jump?

Saturday, usually a pretty non eventful time for me, but I was bound and determined to find someone to do something with me! I found a friend to eat dinner with me and she said, "Is Sushi Popo okay with you?" I said, "YES! I love sushi." Good moment #1.

Then she had a blind date to go to, so I meet up with some old high school friends. We have fun hanging out, and they said, "Do you want to go dancing?" (Do I want to go dancing?, duh!) I said, "YES! I love dancing." Good moment #2.

We go across the street and the music was loud, and it was crowded with Peoria folks. I liked it! I like loud music for some reason. Some people may not like it because you can't talk in a loud place, but I think that's the reason I like it. Dinner is for talking, coffee is for talking, going out is for dancing. Anyways, we go dancing and then good moment #3 happens, The next song came on, "Put your hands up in the aaaair!" (So I did) The music paused, then it came back with, "Kriss Kross will make you JUMP, JUMP!" There's good moment #3! You better believe that I was a jumping fool haha.

Here's the chorus to everyone's (i mean everyone's) old fave:
Jump Jump
The Mac Dad will make you Jump Jump
The Daddy Mac will make you Jump Jump
Kris Kross will make you Jump Jump
uh huh uh huh
Jump Jump

So, not the best night in the world of course, but I just wanted to take the time to note and appreciate those 3 good moments.

Aliens!

In Social Studies yesterday, there was a page in our workbook that we filled out right before we read the section. After looking at the titles in the section and the photographs, we wrote down what we saw. We saw a flag, an eagle, a coin, and a painting of a lady holding a flag, etc. Then they had to answer this question, "What do you think you will read about on these two pages?" One of my kids asked, "What if we get this wrong, will you mark it off?" I just explained as long as it made sense like they didn't say: "We are going to learn about aliens!" or "We're going to learn about basketball players!"

So, right now I am in the midst of grading their papers, and everybody got that answer right except one person. After the question, "What do you think you will read about on these two pages?" She wrote, "ALIENS!" Oh dear. And you'd think I would be surprised she would put that, but it's actually very typical of her to write something without even caring if it's right or not.

Maybe in a few centuries, a history book will have a section on when Aliens invaded America. THEN, someone can write "Aliens!" for their answer.

new obsession

I just started watching American Idol last week. Oh my word, my new obsession is Adam Lambert. When he came down those long stairs singing "You make me feel good," I was in all agreeance with Paula Abdul. He made her and me feel BETTER than good. He was awesome!! So recently I've been listening to all of his songs on youtube and I just am more obsessed.

I predict: he wins.

Matt and Andrew, if you see this, put me down for a bet in your Cougar Club spreadsheet that Adam Lambert will win American Idol.
