Not so much a review, perhaps a re-cap.

1) I attended Melanie C with my mother and my sister last night. We all wore Spice Girls shirts which we decided was funny at first, then we just felt a little ridiculous. Too late.

2) I am still in love with Melanie C, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

3) The show was too loud for my mother. She wouldn't come out and admit it straight up, but I can tell. She's a trooper though. And I will not take her to see Iron Maiden perform "The Trooper" even though, as stated, she is one.

4) I love listening to Mel C talk. In fact, I wanted more talk, less rock. Not that I don't want to hear her sing... just that I love when she speaks. She should do a spoken word tour. Just stand on stage and read the paper even. I would go to that.

I had a crazy-busy weekend in which every spare moment was filled. This is a regular thing, which should ideally end in being super-tired Sunday evening and falling alseep easily, therefore setting me up well for the week ahead. This of course never happens. No matter what I've done leading up to Sunday night, I can't fall asleep. Period. I start every Monday on a couple of hours of sleep. Now... just as I'm about to feel sorry for myself... I find this acrticle on the ABC News site... unreal...

Rhett Lamb, 3, is often irritable, but it's not just the routine growing pains of a toddler's life that has affected him. It's the fact that Rhett can't sleep.

 

We just called Fred Penner to tell him he's awesome

Well... several people, but most interesting would be... you know it... Fred Penner. Boo Ya. The very same day we had him on the radio for "I Just Called to Say You're Awesome". For the record, he thought it was the coolest thing ever and people had been asking him about it all day.

I was at Chapters at St. Vital Mall a couple of years ago and I was walking down one of those notoriously narrow isles when I saw Fred Penner walking my way. I was immediately starstruck. I proceeded to walk towards him, but when we were going to pass each other we did the MALL SHUFFLE. What is the MALL SHUFFLE you ask? Well it is when you are walking towards someone going the other direction in a crowded mall and you proceed to pass him on your right and the other person proceeds to pass you towards his left, causing both of you to collide and pause for a minute, just to repeat the entire motion on the other side. And, usually one more stint occurs on the original side. It is kind of like chicken gone bad.
