Puppet Shows

When my best friend and I were teenagers she could take any toy, make it dance and I would die laughing.

She still does this. I don't know how many times I've watched this but I laugh to the point of tears every time.

Secret Identity

Almost no one knows this about me, but I want nothing more than to go to Comic-Con in San Diego and dress up as a super hero. In 5th and 6th grade I would spend hours drawing the ripped bodies of made-up super heroes. At recess me and two other boys in my grade would compare pictures we had drawn and our X-men card collections. While other girls my age were trying to grow up too fast, I was still playing X-men in the streets with my two best friends. I was always Rouge. She's so awesome. When Batman Returns came out and I saw Michelle Pfeiffer as Cat Woman, I remember thinking, "I want to be her. Someday, somehow I will own a patten leather bodysuit with a whip and find an excuse to wear it." Much to Luke's disappointment this has not happened yet. In High School I was made fun of for my homemade Spiderman book-covers and after school would come home and watch Batman cartoons. As an adult I discovered the Avatar series and will watch multiple episodes at night after my kids are in bed. Had Ender been born a year later I might have named him Aang. Instead we named our cat Suki after Sokka's girlfriend. I absolutely love anything to do with super human powers. I probably should have out grown this by now, but at age 29 I'm pretty sure I never will. Someday I will make it to Comic-Con, and hopefully while I'm still young enough to look good in spandex.

Luke Quotes

Luke was looking for bedroom sets on Craigslist when he said,

"Shabby Chic? Does that mean it's ugly on purpose?"

Love Texts

I got this text from Luke today.

"'Love is finding that the things you like best about yourself are not in you at all, but in the person who completes you.' I feel this way about you. I love you Sheri."

He's wonderful.

Bene Gesserit

Luke keeps telling me the Bene Gesserit from Frank Herbert's Dune books were based on women like me. (That's Sci-Fi Nerd for, he thinks I'm awesome.) I have to take his word for it that it's a compliment. In the past I've joined him in reading his Sci-Fi series. I drew the line at Dune. ...but did not draw the line when naming our son after Ender Wiggin.

Hail to the V

Luke and I were watching TV last night and saw this. We had to re-watch it to make sure we got it right. ...We did. Hail to the V!

Getting Older

Today I was sitting on my cellulite, plucking my grays, and looking at my wrinkles AND zits, not feeling cute at all.

Then later while pushing a giant cart of food through Costco with only 2 kids in tow, the cutest old lady caught me and said, "You look too young to be a mommy." I almost hugged her.
