You know when you laugh so hard that you cry? well, that was us tonight at the Palace 9 movie theater.
I guess I should start at the beginning... the other day i was looking online at 7 days for a mortgage seminar that noelle had told me about, saying that it was a hit because it had free food. yeah well, i didn't find the seminar listed but i found this contest to win free movie tickets for the movies at the film festival. many of the movies had already had their drawings, but i just entered us to win ANY movie tickets. sure enough, about an hour later I got an email saying that i had won the tickets. yahoo, i thought (having been my second win of the kind since moving to vermont). so i looked up the title and found that the movie would be about a drumming competition. i'm thinking TaiKO drummingthen I thought maybe it would be like STOMP... i loved that show.

nope. it was not about that kind of drumming....it was this kind of drumming.

but that wasn't the funny part.... it was kinda cool once we realized what the hell we were watching. the funny part was there was a room of spectators watching old film of drum corp and rating them, and there were these two announcers who said thing like, "that brought a tear to my eye." I was like what the hell is this?

it was a great night.... unexpectedly great.

mothers day

celebrating mothers day with my family felt empowering. i watched my mom and grammy closely as we ate lunch together. these are the women who raised me, who molded me and influenced me to be the woman i am today. i hope that i can take what i learned and become the best mom that i can be.
