Now, I find this general lack of enthusiasm unfortunate... anyone who knows me knows that I Love, Love, Love all things "princessy", "weddingy" and romantic. A friend/former roommate once claimed that if I ever had a daughter she would probably look like pepto-bismol exploded all over her. That's a bit harsh, I think!
Well, guess what...I have two sons and no daughters... and there is a distinct lack of most things pink or "princessy" at our house, and a plethora of light sabers and balls and cars and planes. Please don't mistake this for a complaint...of course I love my boys and would never,ever trade them for any little girl. But one does crave a feminine fix now and then, doesn't one? And, Angie, the Warrior Dash certainly doesn't qualify :)!!!
This morning's Royal Marriage fit the bill quite nicely. And, to make things even better, Mom came over just after 5:00 with fancy tea cups (so what if we filled them with java instead of tea!), and English muffins. We sat together and enjoyed a very peaceful early breakfast and kept our own running commentary of all the different ensembles and head wear displayed. The bride was stunning, the flower girls were precious, and my inner princess is content and satisfied, shored up and ready to jump back into the world of soccer, boats, and bikes just in time for Isaac's 9th birthday dinner tonight!
Please remember that it was early...just after 5:00 a.m.! I came straight from sleeping in bed to the "telly"...hey we didn't attend the wedding, no need to get gorgeous! Still, I loved making these memories with Mom this morning!

I think it is neat that you had this time with your mom. And although I didn't get up at the crack of dawn, I did enjoy watching commentary for about 2 hours this morning. So I guess I was just a little bit intrigued. :)
I wish I could have been there with you. I loved watching it and kept calling my mom and Anne to see if they were up. Cambel and Kevin were less than impressed. Cambel said "if we were there, we would have to leave by now...when I get married I don't want it to take so long." Ada slept in but enjoyed seeing Kate:)
Anne,
I was trying to mention that we enjoyed some texting throughout the process as well...I just couldn't seem to fit it in and still make the point that many were less that enthusiastic during it...so, since Mom and Lori were contemplating an early rise time last night and you were definitely not,your name was the one dropped..so sorry! Now you are named in the comments:) Maria, perhaps Ada will be awake when Prince Harry marries, and perhaps it will be televised as well...here's hoping!
I didn't get up early to watch it, but the girls in my apartment and i watched a re-run at 10. And loved it! I like the tea & english muffins breakfast. :-) That sounds wonderful.
