I don't want this to be a blog about the joys of motherhood, so I try to decide what to put based upon the rule of would I repeat this story if it did not involve my child. This is one story that I would probably tell no matter who it involved. Me and Trey were watching television together last night, actually I was watching television and Trey was composing a Christmas letter to Kirsten, when a commercial for Ruby Tuesday came on. The announcer said "Enjoy our Hang off the Plate Ribs, slow cooked for hours." Trey said, "I would never order those things." I disagreed,"I would, they look delicious."
"But Mama, think about it. It would take forever. The man said they cook it for hours."
After I quit laughing, I explained that they started cooking it long before the person ordered it from the menu. I thought it was very cute.
On another note. I do not know if any of you have seen the beautiful Reese Witherspoon in Vanity Fair, but I watched it the other night and loved it. It got such horrible reviews that I had never had any interest in seeing it, but I could not sleep and it was on HBO so I watched it. I fell in love with Becky Sharp's card-shark husband(James Purefoy). Seriously, it was like a teenage girls crush on the New Kid's on the Block. He is adorable (see picture above). I am going to the book store today to read all 912 pages of the novel to see how much they changed it in the film version. I always heard Becky Sharp was a horrible girl, but Reese Witherspoon could never be anything but sweet as pie. Casting may have been off here a little. If you get a chance, watch it, or if you have already watched it, tell me what you thought.

I too have seen the lovely Reese in Vanity Fair. I watched it only because she was in it, but ended up liking it. It reminded me a lot of Gone with the Wind. I want to read Thackery's book (it is Thackery, right?) but am intimidated by the large amount of pages.
I'm looking forward to Trey's Christmas letter. He's such a darling lamb.
