Roseanne (yes, it got odd over the last couple of season, but I watched and enjoyed it anyway, and you better believe I cried when it ended. If that show came out on DVD, I’d SO be buying it). I discovered the other day that the spud is also a Roseanne fan – it’s on every night, and if she hasn’t seen the episode she’ll watch it. I can hear her in her room sometimes, laughing out loud. Clearly she has her mother’s good taste in sitcoms.

Michael Bergin may or may not have had an affair with Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. I am absolutely stunned that… I frankly couldn’t give less of a shit. She’s dead. Whatever she did while she was alive is over. Let she and her husband rest in peace, for the love of god. That Michael Bergin, what a class act. In what Bergin said was an effort to set the record straight, he reveals many personal details about Bessette and their relationship in his book. An effort to set the record straight, my Aunt Fanny. An effort to make some money off this country’s unfortunate fascination with the Kennedy clan and anyone attached to them, more like. Jackass.

Ever feel like some people are just put on this earth to work your nerves? I’m so damn glad we stopped selling what’s left of Fred’s book from our home, that’s all I’ll say.

The spud knocked on my bedroom door after dinner yesterday. “The school pictures are back,” she said. Her school has a photographer come to the school in the Fall and again in the Spring to take pictures. I didn’t like the pictures that were taken in the Fall, so didn’t buy any, hoping that the Spring pictures would come out better. “Okay, put the envelope on my desk,” I said. “I don’t think you’re going to want to buy any,” she said. “Oh, not a good picture?” I said. “I didn’t know it was picture day, so I didn’t dress up or anything. I’m just wearing a sweatshirt.” “Well, just put the envelope on my desk and I’ll look at it later,” I said. I did look at it later, and I actually think she looks pretty cute. (Pardon the bad scan)

(Picture taken by the Frank formerly known as Fred) This picture cracks me the hell up, mostly because of the look on the Bean’s face. To get the full effect, check out the full-sized version. Hee! ]]>
