Dandrew

Watching Dandrew on The Amazing Race is just painful--please, please get eliminated already. On the other hand, I think Dallas and Toni are becoming one of my all-time favorite teams. I have a lot of admiration for the great job she did raising him to be such a solid guy.

Christmas season is soon upon us and the kids and I have talked a lot about how fortunate we are, and how we already have lives of excess. T has said that he only wants 2 things for Christmas: a kiss from me and a kiss from daddy. He didn't even want to put up his stocking for fear that Santa might inadvertently leave him something. I kept telling him it was OK to maybe get a couple things (I have the Wii and some games and accessories waiting!), but he's adamant about not getting anything. I'm curious to know if he'd really be OK with having nothing under the tree Christmas morning. H, on the other hand, is such a material girl. She understands that she doesn't need anything, but there's so much that she wants, and she's having a hard time giving that up.

Entourage is on hiatus until the summer, and I think as part of my recession plan, I'll cancel HBO until then.
