U2 movie

U2 movie

I love U2! They are so awesome. Anyone that knows me understands that I am kind of a freak about them, so this news of a U2 movie, makes my year. During those in-between years when we are awaiting a new cd and concert tour, things like this make the wait bearable. I just hope that they show it at the IMAX in Dallas, because I will be there, and yes, Luke, I will be dragging you with me. I wonder if the 3D glasses will look like The Fly glasses Bono wears? We can only dream it will be so......

Blogger Detention

Okay, so it turns out, I really stink at this blogging thing. I was informed today that it has been 13 days since my last post. I think I may lose my blogger license or be put on probation or something of that sort. I have no good excuses other than it only happens to be the busiest time of the year. However, just as I am thinking " surely no one else has updated their blogs during this insane month" - sure enough as I was looking at all my favorite blogs tonight, all had new messages, some had like 10 to my none! Maybe this should be my New Years resolution- be better about updating my blog. Seems like a easy enough task, but I am sure, that in the coming year of 2008, I will have yet again another lengthy no-posting streak.

I decided to post a slide show of all the pictures we had to take in order to finally get a decent one for our Christmas card. It is so nice to send out a cute picture of your kids, sending the message of peaceful, harmonic, angelic, happiness ( albeit contrived). When in fact the said photo is actually the result of over a week's worth of effort, numerous different photos sessions, the magic of photo shop, and plenty of bribing, begging, weaping, tearing of clothes, and gnashing of teeth ( and that was done by the parents). And it is all so we can attain that one perfect picture to represent " Team Benton" well for the year. Maybe next year we will give up this farce and just send out one that shows their true colors. Merry Christmas!
