Visitor/TV Sunday

I thought I was going to be solo today b/c I didn't intend to have Big M and Lil' M visit since they already have for past two days. And I thought there was a needlework class today.

Nopes-I was told Lil' M wanted to see me after watching a scene from Totoro where the mom was in the hospital. She was reminded of her own mommy I guess. She kept asking Big M if she'll see me today. :( How can I say no to that? Ok-I'll see them for lunch then! :)

Since the needlework class wasn't actually on Sundays, then I let my boss know that she could visit me b/c she asked earlier in the week. She came when Big M and Lil' M were almost on their way out. I wanted Lil' M to meet my boss (LG) for the first time. LG's so sweet; she gave Lil' M her first Easter bunny and blanket set when she was born. Been meaning for them to meet and here was the opportunity.

So LG and Lil' M meet and it was a cute meeting. LG stayed and chatted with me for a bit. We had good conversations and she brought me a potted orchid and a scrapbook picture frame holder. She's such a caring person. I'm SO blessed to have been able to work for such a caring person. I mean overall (not just b/c she brought me gifts). She's supported me through tough work times when I was first hired into her team and have k.i.t. with me during this leave. She's a devout Christian who is not pushy and truly cares about people. I highly respect her and I was certainly OK with her visiting me. It's been a long time since I liked a boss.

So after her visit, I ended up watching more TV than I normally do in a day. I saw:

1) Toddlers & Tiaras: I know I know-why would I watch this mess? There was nothing to watch and it helps me learn "what not to do" w/my kids! Ha! I so do not condone kid pageants. I was so disgusted at how these parents push their lil girls to look like 36 year old bimbos fluttering their lashes and shaking their stuff! What kind of positive message does this send to these kids? I kept thinking of Lil' M. I was not digging how this one toddler (3 years old) got some highlights up into her baby hair. What the heck?

2) Office Space: LOVE IT! For the thousand time ;). I watched it like it was the first time every time. Sad, but it's spot on w/various office personalities. My fav line has always been from the "Michael Bolton" name bit. ;)

Anyways, here's my new live friend:
