Every year the two of us would sit down to watch, pens poised over little pads of paper (usually the same pads we used to keep score in Scrabble) to track the "best" contestants and cast our votes privately. I learned a lot about grace and poise and beauty -- and it's why, to this day, my main goal in life is to accomplish WORLD PEACE.Bejewellhttp://themusicalfruit.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8651943646304810692.post-63849859744194371072010-01-28T19:58:40.221-05:002010-01-28T19:58:40.221-05:00Oh, and btw, check out last night's swimsuit preliminary winner: Miss New York Alyse Zwick.

(BTW, have I told you that my daughter's name is Jennifer?) I was expecting a lovely post about Sundance. Maybe telling us that you had been arrested for stalking James Franco. Or for wearing fake Uggs. You are very brave to let us see the hidden depths of your passions. Especially one as unexpected as this. I must say that you are the only little girl that I've ever heard of who took notes while watching the pageant. ;P Enjoy your cosmos. I won't be watching, but I'll keep my fingers crossed that a "real" girl wins. Danifoodie ffanatichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18012898548478062463noreply@blogger.com
