Hmmmm, on the interesting news front, Michele Obama shops at Target. What is there not to love about that? Plus, when shopping for a dress to wear on the View, she only spends $112! I wonder if she shops the clearance end caps at Target?
To many weird things in the news lately. I think I will leave it alone this week. Instead, you'll read some grandbaby news.
I'm not a fan of instant messaging, but it does have it's moments, like when I sign on and there is my son, in Iraq, and I get to have a conversation with him, and know he's ok for another day. Then there are the conversations where one person needs to just type away till they feel better. This is a conversation I just finished with my daughter-in-law and Drue (almost 3) who is at Fort Polk, LA while husband/my son is in Iraq. She's been having a bad week but she shared this with me. I am debbro (and this is long because of the cut and paste):
debbro: at least your son isn't making himself balloon boobies
joy: not yet
joy: he don't know how
joy: he is captain underpants
joy: i told you that right
debbro: no, you haven't
joy: imagine it is 6 am
joy: and he wakes me up
joy: Drue: good mornin' I woke up!
joy: ok
joy: good morning
joy: lets go downstairs and go potty
joy: ok
joy: away we go
joy: ok, undressed and gone potty

joy: I pour my first cup, it is always the best
joy: ok drue lets go out on the porch and sit on the swing
joy: by now it is about 6:15
joy: I'm cold
joy: well, he gives me a blankie
joy: Drue: I wanna cape
joy: ok, tie it on

joy: and try to awaken myself
joy: lets go out now
joy: ok
joy: running to the door
joy: out on the porch.......
joy: i am sitting on the swing drinking away
joy: i look up at the cars going by
joy: it is a busy morning i notice
joy: why the hell is everyone looking over here laughing?
joy: I wonder
joy: and wonder
joy: I look
joy: to see
joy: Drue

joy: proudly with shoulders held high and cape thrown back
joy: he is captain underpants
joy: smiling away
joy: showing all he has to the world

debbro: that is freaking funny
joy: I swear it was the funniest thing I have ever seen
joy: it is
joy: I will embarrass him with that for as long as I am breathing
debbro: somewhere in this house I have a captain underpants book
joy: there is something called captain underpants?
debbro: yep
joy: wow
joy: I thought it was a d-man exclusive
debbro: its a book. I'll look for the book
joy: I wish I would have had it on video
joy: it would have won us money
debbro : i know, we all need camcorders
joy: it was something unforgettable the way he was standing and the proud look on his face
joy: mixed with the smile
