Bop, bop, bop! Bop to the Top!*

Because we live about a year behind the rest of the world as far as entertainment goes, we have just recently gotten into "High School Musical." Of course when we got the DVD, Julia mysteriously already knew all the words to the songs. Turns out she had seen bits and pieces at other people's houses, which kids are forced to do when their cheap parents won't get cable. (Our previous refusal to get cable is WHY we are about a year behind everyone else when it comes to cool TV shows, movies, etc. What a vicious, vicious cycle.)

Anyway, we watch this movie all the dang time now, and we make sure we watch the sing-along version so we can all join in (yes, Chad included) when the songs come on. It's really clean and cute and has a good message about just being yourself in high school (which no one EVER does, but still.)

(*This song also includes the line "Zip, Zap, Zop.")

The good news is we have cable now. The two most memorable things I have seen so far are "The Last Days of Elvis" on E! (during which it took them a solid hour to say, "He ate a lot. He slept a lot. He took drugs a lot. Then he died." Pretty depressing) and ABBA in Concert. It was two guys and two girls running around on stage singing cheesy songs with a bad light show. To me, it looked just like Song Song in spandex.

From the "We Just Moved" department, I better have some HOT LEGS by the time we move out of this place because I am running up the stairs about 50 times a day and I'm really starting to feel the burn. When I carry Jenna up, I sometimes have to stop and rest halfway. But I really am in good shape... REALLY.

We went to McAlister's Deli and Target in Little Rock AGAIN today. I'm sure there are other things to do in this town, but if Little Rock only had those two places, we'd be pretty happy. We did go downtown to Sonny Williams Steak Room the other night for our anniversary. The food was great. I bet Clinton used to stuff his face there on a regular basis.

We visited Julia's school tonight for Open House. She seemed most excited about the new playground. That's our little scholar!
