tough choices...

Molly Ringwald. if you haven't heard of her, let me fill you in...she is the heroine of many an 80's movie...16 candles...pretty in pink....I just love her. Now she is grown up and in some show on tv that I actually do not watch..BUT, she is going to be at the Bookends book store in ridgewood on wednesday signing her new book about turning 40. Now, i didn't even know that she wrote a book, but, i am pretty sure that she turned 40 a few years ago....anyway,,,i would LOVE to meet her. i would love to tell her that i turned 16 when i watched 16 candles for the first time (and have watched it many many many times since then ,and it never gets old...) i would love to tell her how happy i am for her that she had twins and found true love and what great friends we could be and how much she would enjoy reading my blog....

but, alas, one of my beloved sons has a baseball game that night. what should i do? should i miss out on watching another painful 2 hours of baseball and meet my long lost friend? should i pawn my son off on some unsuspecting, but good natured parent to take responsibility for my child and tell them that i going somewhere actually important? I have a doctors appt....i have a meeting with the state assembly...i am putting out lawn signs for people running for town council....can i make something up? or, do i be honest and say "i am going to meet molly ringwald."

truth is, if it was my boyfriend, rick springfield, i would miss the game without a second thought, and my kid knows that..because i do have my priorites...but molly will just have to wait a little longer to meet her new best friend. baseball comes first..and if i haven't learned that by now, i am in BIG trouble....

meanwhile....i am home this morning waiting for the nice man to fix matthew's closet door (from yesterday's blog....) i already told ari that if he needs new doors (matthew's closet, not ari) i will just hang up a sheet to save money.....because that is the kind of wife i am....

happy monday
