-- Watching bits of Muppets Take Manhattan with my sisters. My sisters know that movie by heart. Laughter!!
-- Siobhan made an absolutely deeeeee-lish lasagna. We loved it. We had one helping, then went out to a pub for a couple drinks, came back and chowed some more.
-- Siobhan has 440 CDs in her collection. Just so you know.
-- Jean's migraine was bad. She put on a purple liquid sleep-mask, and lay on Siobhan's bed with a pillow over her head. We all stood around the bed, continuing the conversation, Jean talking as well ... but if anyone had looked in, and not known what was going on, they would have been like: "WTF???"
-- We walked down the street, cool night air, to an Irish pub called The Brogue. A guy named Steve Reilly was playing guitar - playing stuff like Free Falling, and Harry Chapin of all things. LOUD. We had to shout to be heard.
-- Much Red Sox conversation.
-- Good to be together. Family is the best thing in the world. The only thing missing was our brother ... we called him and left him a collective "we wish you were here" message.
Posted by sheilaI'm impressed that Jean could continue the conversation. When I get a migraine, even if it's when I'm around people I love and don't get to see enough, I'm all "I love you but go talk somewhere else please"

Jean has never had a migraine ... so she put up a good fight with it. I could tell, though, that she had a band of pain across her eyes. She's going down to the Caribbean with her boyfriend for the week, so I hope the migraine relaxes, goes away.

Moments like this that I realize a little more why I love your blog ... the entire Muppet genre is solid gold and repeated viewings should be openly encouraged.
Oh, and I've got well over 500 CDs in my collection ... just in case anyone wanted to know.

The Muppets ... words can't even express what they mean to me ...
Maybe it's time to another Muppet post. They always are so awesome.
I love the part in the Muppets Take Manhattan movie when Miss Piggy is heckled by a construction crew. It just CRACKED ME UP - all these big fat guys in hardhats, actors - all of them - heckling a pig puppet. But what was funniest, was how mad she looked as it was happening. Her nose did that Miss Piggy thing, it went down - to show that she was starting to get steaming mad.
So feckin' funny.
