Odds and Ends

I sincerely hope that the post I wrote last night made sense. It was written on my iPad while traveling in the car with four other people, all of which had an insatiable need to talk to me. Keep in mind that I was attempting to remain coherent while blocking out the fighting over a Nook, my husband trying to have a conversation, and the child breathing down my neck wanting to play my iPad and asking, "Mom, how long does it take you to write your blob? GAH!" It was quite a feat, if I do say so myself. So hopefully it did make sense. If not, now you know what I was up against.
For the record, I have to add that my husband did surprise me with red roses last night! That's a feat in itself, because I am generally pretty hard to surprise. I tend to ask for what I want. So I was excited to have some fresh flowers. Such a good man I have...not only on Valentine's Day, but every other day, too. And none of the kids noticed that Sheridan's balloon was in Spanish. Bonus!
Anyway, we are looking forward to Sunday with much anticipation. I have to say that I thought it was pretty cool when we landed in California, got on the shuttle to Disneyland, and ended up in LA five o'clock traffic behind a car with a license plate from the county right next to ours. How crazy is that?
I have to say that I'm beginning to notice a trend among AFV Finalists...a LOT of them are from the South. I'm not sure if we just video ourselves more, if we are more diligent about sending them in, or if people just like to make fun of our accents! Perhaps it's that we tend to do more stupid stunts while videoing each other. I can't tell you how many times I've seen a clip on that show where someone bites it while doing something amazingly stupid and then yells, "Did you get that on video?"
Whatever the reason, I'm just really glad I tried out the video feature on my phone that night. It sure has brought a lot of fun into our lives!
