I actually woke up in the middle of the night a few months ago with this phrase in my head: "The things I was the surest about are the things I've turned out to be the most wrong about." It was so fully formed and clear, I became briefly convinced I must've read it somewhere, but have so far been unable to find it. <br /><br />And Sheena Easton/Pat Benatar were my Sandra Bullock/Sandra Bernhard for a while. In the eighties & early nineties, I got one or the other. After twenty years and four kids, it's Queen Latifah, never mind that I am a pale-ish white girl. ;)Masked Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197019009052401812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923792986438866285.post-15427333480561006982012-01-17T22:02:25.321-08:002012-01-17T22:02:25.321-08:00My wordveri was "genumbo" - this would b...My wordveri was "genumbo" - this would be gumbo for the next generation.esbbostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09946279220170973147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923792986438866285.post-74402739967956711352012-01-17T21:59:57.832-08:002012-01-17T21:59:57.832-08:00"That is why an intrepid few people read my b..."That is why an intrepid few people read my blog." - I found this a very interesting statement.

I will ponder this and continue to nod my head. <br /><br />I was totally engrossed until the Matthew and Sandra comment. I have to sheepishly admit I didn't know they were ever together, and I honestly would have never guessed, never ever ever see them together. Like ... how?!<br />Anyways, took me a while to get back to the post after trying to sort that one out. <br /><br />As far as celeb look-a-likes, I've been told I look like Keira Knightly.

Our first impressions, even if they are sometimes random and out of context, count quite a bit when it comes right down to it.<br /><br />Was it you that doesn't like Melissa Gilbert? Either way, I looked a hell of a lot like her when I was younger- frumpy homemade dresses, braids, and all.

All of the people who have told me that are clearly not all together.<br /><br />Back to the real world ... this is fascinating to me because (not to be Capt Bringdown here) I spent 12 months racking my brain, trying to figure out what happened with my Dad. I couldn't figure out why he would do what he did, what would make him think that life was so terrible he had to end it. Finally, one day, I realized it didn't matter. The answer to why he did what he did had no effect on my life. I wasn't going to change how I feel about my Dad, how I felt about his life, how I remembered him. So, the liberation in letting that question go was more than I could comprehend.<br /><br />Incidentally, both Matty and Sandra supposedly live here in Austin. They haven't brought a housewarming gift yet, though, so perhaps they're not all that fond of us being in the neighborhood after all.Margihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00380912871792176901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923792986438866285.post-23910762833731147532012-01-17T17:14:46.615-08:002012-01-17T17:14:46.615-08:00War Games.
