I’m filching from Tina today who has been sharing the unspectacular.  Okay, Tina tagged me, but I’m a multi-tasker here.  Behold the unspectacular me:

This weekend I watched the movie Step Mom for the hundredth time and for the hundredth time I balled my eyes out.  That goddamn scene on the horse!  I spent the rest of the day praying the same prayer I always pray when I watch this movie: Please Lord, if I have to die, let Nathan find a good woman to walk in my shoes and to heal my babies’ broken hearts, and to love Nathan as himself, but please God make her look more like Lyle Lovett than Julia Roberts.

Friday night while the girls and I were hanging out watching bad television, Ezra was particularly gassy.  This is a dog that could outstink an old folk’s home on Franks and Beans Night.  The girls decided to put a cork in her butt.  They had no problem finding a cork as Nathan collects them and then they chased Ezra around trying to pin her down.  Just as they were attempting to insert the cork, Ezra let a ripe one rip.  The girls melted into a hysterical puddle on the floor.  That dog ain’t stupid!

Nathan has read all of the Harry Potter books out loud to me.  Aside from my children, this is the greatest gift anyone has ever given me.  If you would like to deepen intimacy with your partner, read aloud to each other before bed at night.  Falling asleep to the sound of your loved one’s voice is pure magic.   Nathan gives different voices to the characters and has made them come alive for me forever.  You should hear his Hagrid.  We’re half way through the very last book and I keep begging him to read slowly.  I never want it to end.

I’m obsessed with vacuuming.  I vacuum every day.  I almost never put my vacuum away.  Nathan got me my first Dyson vacuum for Christmas many years ago and I thought it was the most romantic Christmas present I’d ever opened.  And yes, before WRH spills the beans, I have been known to vacuum the outside of my house.

Do you know who your role models are in life?  One of mine is Oprah Winfrey.  I don’t care what anybody says about her, I’ve watched her for twenty years and we’ve become very good friends.  Sometimes I ask myself when decisions need to be made, what would Oprah do?  WWOD?  I think she is recognized for a lot, but I never hear people recognizing how funny she is.  We make each other laugh all the time.  In my head.

Oprah, let’s do lunch.

My other role model is Monica Lewinsky.  I’m telling you, if you can come through what she did and make something of yourself in the end, you’ve earned my kudos.  Have you seen those cute little pocket books?

And because the unspectacular me can spend hours laughing at crap like this:

Filch on, Friends! Consider yourself tagged if you’re still reading…
