it doesn't matter who's wrong or right.....

JUST BEAT IT!

michael jackson's music is so insanely addictive! it doesn't seem to matter where you are, when michael's music plays people sing along. ever notice that? tell me you haven't busted out with a high pitched "heee, heee" at least once in your life. bet ya have. people don't even have to be a "fan" per se to suddenly find themselves claiming not to be billie jeans lover or trying to moonwalk to smooth criminal, they just do it naturally. like itching a scratch (scratching an itch?).


right now the kids (max, aj, & aj's girlfriend "t") are playing this michael jackson game for wii that "t" brought over - and it's the awesomest game ever! i simultaneously love it and feel really aged by it. hello, you can't not feel old when your kids are dancing to music that came out when you were still wearing florescent tights & braided headbands. (two things which have never come back into fashion.)

my kids, like most i am sure, think they have the market cornered on all things music, movies, and mtv. they think their generation is THE generation. i want to tell them "just you wait and see" but i can't bring myself to use those words, because those were the words my own parents used and i'd like to refrain from turning into them for as long as possible! so instead i sit here and laugh - with them and at them. mostly at them. because thats the awesome kind of mom i am.

i am really looking forward to the new year but i haven't made any resolutions yet. i've heard people say they are resolving not to make resolutions and even though i know they are just being funny, it does sort of sound like a good plan

you know what another good plan would be? going to bed early. i'm fighting a head cold thanks to a walk on the beach during sunday's blizzard. not the smartest idea, i know, but it was a romantic one considering mr. jones rarely likes to go for walks on the beach.

warm summer evening, a cool breeze coming in off the water -
ME: honey, wanna go for a walk?
HIM: nope.

freezing winter day, the most snowfall virginia has seen in 30 years -
HIM: baby get your boots on, lets go see the 5 foot waves!
ME: uuuuh, sure.

yeah, even the kids were smart enough to sit this one out. they stayed inside, warm, drinking hot cocoa by the light of the fire their video games. but it was totally worth it. and probably the exact scenario vicks had in mind when they invented nyquil.
