you may be wondering....

...why is there a smile on my face this week?

• i've been 'shufflin off to the southside' for tap class.  so far i have had two classes--boy, not only is my body getting a workout, but my brain, my brain...it's having to dig deep in the far recesses of itself to recover whatever 'tap vocabulary' is left from years' ago and send it to my feet.  but it's just so much fun!
• MDE won, yes, won her school's 'trojan idol' talent show...glory be to God for the gift of a beautiful voice and heavenly piano playing He blessed her with...
• MTSC and i have been squaring off on our iphones on an app called 'words with friends'...too fun!
• had a lunch date yesterday with MHD...and i am beating him 280-270 in wwf...and best of all--he picked up MTSC from school 2 {!} times this week
• MTSC lost a hard fought soccer game last night...but it made for such an exciting friday night!
• watched monsters, inc. with the family.  i had forgotten how funny it is...

• and although i am saddened by conan's early 'retirement' from the tonight show, it sure made for some hilarious shows this week...

...hope your week was full of things that made you smile, too--i would love to hear about them--
