I believe the first Star Wars movie came out when I was in 5th grade or so. For one reason or another I did not go see it. I think I was not allowed to go, but am not sure...but it didn't take long for me to start claiming fame in the fact that I never saw Star Wars. As most of my friends were bragging how many times they went to the movie, I was busy and proud to claim that I was not going and did not want to see it...so following in those steps, I have never seen any of the Star Wars movies to follow as well...I know I'm not the only one to have never seen a Star Wars movie, I know I've had this discussion with others along the way...but I am a rarity, I realize.
Imagine my dismay this past weekend when my daughter had an essay test in her English class where she need to compare/contrast The Odyssey and Star Ways (heroism, inner conflicts...the whole great English class gammit)...she was on her own, I couldn't help. Never read The Odyssey and have never seen a Star Wars. Poor kid. Felt incompetent...which, who would have guessed, would have come up in my "I've Never Seen a Star Wars" movie gig...
I am quickly realizing how fast your children grow...how quickly you go from being the ultimate homework helper to "You are on your own for that one"...SCARY! Thank goodness for the internet...

If you give a Pig a Pancake...
Happy New Year!
If you are familiar with the classic children's book If You Give a Pig a Pancake...you'll recognize my blog this evening...
If you give your kids some new electronics for Christmas...you'll find out you need a new router (after chatting with Shin at Linksys)...
When you install your new router...you'll have to pull out your computer desk to access electrical cord central.
When you get behind your computer desk...you'll want to dust and vacuum...
When you get out the dustrags and the vacuum...you'll want to do the whole office (not just behind the desk)...
When you pull out all of the furniture to clean...you'll want to rearrange the office...
When you rearrange the office...you'll want to clean out drawers and shelves...
When you clean out all of your drawers and shelves...you'll feel productive, like you've put in a good day's work...
When you feel like you've put in a good day's work...you'll feel like you want to play.
When you feel like playing...you'll want to access your children's new electronics!!!
(Which are working very smoothly because you installed a new router...
