...  Plus, I love Tchaikovsky, so it's a double win.   

My favorite is Romeo & Juliet Overture. I "stole" a CD from my parents as a teen and listened to it constantly. It was Sir Georg Solti & Chicago Symphony Orchestra ... 1812, R&J, and Nutcracker.

I still love anything conducted by Sir Georg Solti that I find, too.

Little things make me so proud of my kid.

Absolutely. I love the things that rock that nobody else gets to see.

"abstractacize" - my eight-year-old son's new word, which means roughly "to exclude someone from a discussion by being really vague, indirect, and obscure"

I have no idea what it was but for some seemingly no good reason I'm really happy right now

I played beauty parlours,got my hair trimmed then gave myself a manicure & polish

Got my ears (re)pierced today. 

The lady doing the piercing asked me if I was nervous. I said no, and asked if she was! Fortunately she wasn't either.

Hey! I really like that! It's something that happens far too often and it's so unnecessary. Smart and observant kid.

Gwynne came back from Switzerland.

Given the cost of living, how could I stay longer? 

I had the hugest Subway craving and my dad saw me making rice and he's like "do you want me to buy you Subway?" Lol read my mind.

I'm not sure if I should be happy about this or not but my voice cracked when I asked for "Bacon." -_- I hope that means it's still going to change and deepen.

I posted a message on facebook (Coming out, I really don't like that word) and people were awesome about it! All good reaction, a bit strange questions and goodluck wishes

That's excellent. And I don't like the term "coming out" either.

Ever have one of those days when a friend not only can but willingly does dig you out of a pit? Well, it happened to me today. Thnx Cindy!

 

Wow, congrats! I thought about just making my gender private info and I'm scared to do that!

Oh... never mind. Looks like I *did* do that! LOL

Soon enough... I'm not out at work and I'm not out to the broader family and friends... and they're all on FB!

I did just privatize some info, though.
