Penny Rene: December 2007 Archives
This time of the year we are usually surrounded by friends and family who knew us back when we were knee high to a grasshopper. Memories flood us of years past and one can get a little misty eyed just thinking about all the things that once were so important to us but now are no longer:
Cathy Quick Curl
Power Rangers
parachute pants
slinkys
You get the picture.
And that is why this video is so appropriate today. Share it with Uncle Bill. Everybody has an uncle Bill, right?
A couple of days ago I got an email through my Flickr account about some very old photos I had taken from one of my previous lives as a Christian Band Aid. I do hope you have seen Almost Famous.
Well, do you think he'll win now?
I worked at all three places. Deutsche Bank, Chabad of San Diego and Crowe & Dunlevy. If that's not enough to make a person hate the tap dance of office culture, I don't know what is. Which is why I can completely relate to this clip on a serious level.
Our Thanksgiving holiday at my sister's house was great, thank you.
But a strange thing happened when I saw my brother. I cried.
Since the day I became pregnant with my daughter the "Tears" switch has flipped on. That was nearly two and a half years ago. That's also when I last saw my brother. I was barely pregnant at our family reunion and didn't know it.
Before this there were two expressions of mine that were familiar to my family:
Stoic and Agitated.
Unfortunately, I am still often both those things. But now I am also:
Eternally Thankful and Crazy and Forgetful and Giddy and Weepy.
I am a whole new set of dwarfs waiting for my own soon-to-be-canceled sitcom.
