I watched Sunday's Brothers & Sisters tonight and spent most of the hour entirely jealous of Calista Flockhart. I want to wear a wedding dress and dance cheek to cheek with Rob Lowe, too!
Then, at the end of the episode, Ken Olin showed up! Ken Olin! It shouldn't be a surprise because he's producing the show but here I was just talking about thirtysomething and then there he is on my tv screen after all these years. (In some role I couldn't even spoil if I wanted to because it's currently all a tease.) I think it's awesome that he and Patricia Wettig are married and working together and, even better, on screen together!
The Hanukkah gifts I sent my sister and brother in law arrived today and were received with enthusiasm. I got my sister the "My So Called Live" DVD box set and I got my brother in law a "100 Years of Yankees" coffee table book.
I'm excited to go to sleep tonight knowing I don't have to get up at 4am for a trip to DC. I also get to go to a meeting scheduled for tomorrow afternoon and actually deliver the presentation I worked on all weekend instead of passing it off to someone else. After the presentation we're having a holiday dessert party so I baked four batches of cookies tonight. (And, to be clear, by "bake," I mean I pulled apart pre-made cookie dough and put it in the oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. It took all of the effort I've got not to have more than a taste. Chocolate chip and chocolate chocolate chip!)
Does anyone else remember Ramona Quimby and D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything and Read)? I was in a meeting recently and I was the only one in the room who knew the Ramona reference. Remember? She couldn't remember what the acronym stood for? Who's with me?
