I opened a Snickers bar. The wrapper tore haphazardly and I felt a pang of sadness. Initially because -- what if I tore a YOU ARE A WINNER in half?!?! and then because -- my children will never know that they should care to open candy bars VERY carefully so they can read "PLEASE TRY AGAIN". Candy bars these days have dumb codes instead of straight forward denial. What a shame. via Facebook

Just dropped Sabrina off a couple of blocks away at a birthday party and almost bothered these deer enough to look up as I drove perhaps 10 feet away. via Instagram http://instagr.am/p/UHy1ZIhLTu/

Lizzie: Woah, does that ladder go UP?!?! (seeing one of those random high ladders next to a train loading area thingy. That's the technical term.) Me: No, that one just goes down. Lizzie: Oh, good. Cause that would be scary to go up that high!!!! Daddy: Lizzie????? Lizzie: Oh, wait! via Facebook

Went and saw Les Miserables this afternoon. *I got some "sunglasses" from the optician in the mall, since I left mine at home. Fantastic for going to the theater with a migraine! *I now carry a clean pill bottle full of ear plugs in my purse. Also fantastic for going to the theater with a migraine! *I may occasionally choke up a bit at a powerful movie, but I don't usually really cry. This was an exception. *I feel like I've been run through an emotional mangle. Yet somehow it's okay. *Catwoman sure can sing!!! And the Gladiator?!?!?! Wow. *Impressive show overall. I recommend it, though you may wish to ensure you see it on as emotionally stable a day as you have, or things could get ugly. (*Michael had the rest of this week off as his vacation. It's been lovely.) via Facebook
