Ever wondered what we do at night besides watching the Muppets and shows about serial killers? Well, we spend a large part of our evenings listening to our resident poet laureate dictate from her stacks of literature. Last night I snuck in to her room during the midst of one very serious reading session and videotaped from the doorway. Let’s watch.
Oh, and all poet laureates must read with no pants on. It’s a rule in our house.
Trent and I are strange people. And not just because we buy our daughter shirts with Ewoks on them, although that could be another strong case to make, but because of a collection of tidbits and abnormalities in our respective personalities. We’re weird. Honestly. And we’re OK with that.
I previously mentioned how one TV show about a serial killer/cop brought the two of us together on date night. I’ve had some requests concerning this show. What’s it about? Are you letting Lucy watch it? Do you and Trent need therapy?
Answers:
– A serial killer named Dexter works as a blood spatter analyst for the LA police department during the day and cuts people into tiny bits at night. But not just any old people…murderers. Like a masked, psychotic avenger.
– No, Lucy doesn’t usually watch it. Although she did watch a few episodes of Clean House on the Style Network with us last night…which is a whole other story.
– And yes, therapy is nice. In fact, we really like it. Even though our therapist sometimes stares at us for long periods of time. And she doesn’t laugh at my jokes. And when I make a smart-ass ironic comment she says, “What do you mean by that?”
So, for your viewing pleasure (sidenote: I really did not build up to what this whole post is about, did I? Technically, it was supposed to be about date night and how strange we are…I hope that’s coming through)A Night With the Peters Family – In Video:
First a freaking lifetime of this. Which I thought was a fun idea since I loved it as a kid, but now that it’s Lu’s favorite song, it makes me want to rip my ears off and feed them to my Rottweiler.
Then a few hours of this…
Followed by a couple episodes of this…
Then I go to bed, and who knows what happens after that…

I think this whole voting predicament is best put into words by a fellow blogger, Mom-101:
“In truth, I am swinging between two teams like Anne Heche in her heyday. Every time someone gives me a good pro-Hill argument I’m like yeah! She’s my woman! Go Hill! And then every time I hear a strong Obama endorsement I’m like whoo yeah! Obama! Rock on!”
The best part of this primary is for the first time since I’ve been legally allowed to vote (not counting all the times I voted in elementary school elections) I will be happy no matter who wins. Yes, I do believe one of the candidates is more qualified and has touched more issues that matter to me on the campaign trail then the other, but still, the other one is so inspiring…it would be insane not to be ecstatic if he won. To be truly inspired by politics again, that is an amazing, wonderful thing.
So get out there and vote today. Whether you’re choosing between a woman and a black man (finally, I mean, isn’t it insane that this has never happened before?) or two rich, white guys….ahem….sorry, I was trying not to be biased…I meant between a great war veteran and a successful governor…yup, totally what I meant.
Honestly, just get out and vote. For whoever. Just exercise your right. This time we really can make change for our country and our world. Do it, people!!!
